I will definitely buy again. The plastic spool was damaged during transport, but this did not affect the function in my case. Despite the lack of packaging, it was sent immediately. Only the price is still right when you buy it. I'm not an experienced welder but I've used it for several hours and it works. Remember that you lose 6 feet of wire with every spool change. So if you're using 1 pound spools like mine, that's 60 feet of wasted wire compared to 6 feet every time you change that 10 pound spool.
