Is this a Guede welder?

Hi, can I pick your brains please?

I was thinking of getting an inverter, not for serious stuff, just for garden bits and pieces and I came accross a neat little inverter from Güde (or Guede if you don't have a ü). Here is the website http://www.guede.ws/cgi-bin/twinklec...=page&tid=8000

The GX 100 model seems to tick a lot of my boxes, small, light and around €120. Comes with leads but no rods/mask/etc.

It seems like it's made in Germany but doesn't explicitly say so but neither does it say those dreaded words ¨Made in China¨
What does the team think?

Neither one. It's made by Awelco, an Italian company. Definitely better than most Chinese inverters.
Btw, the Güde website is wrong with the duty cycle, it's 100A/35%, not 15%.
