Yes a hobbiest/mobile machine. Not a workhorse by any stretch.They do a fair enough job. not what you want for regular shop work mind
Parweld machines are an okay entry level machine. Personally having had a better quality machine now for almost two years, I would not hesitate to spend the extra money the first time round. I started some 4/5 years ago with an rtech and whilst it did the job it was clunky and crude.Just save up for a TIG then...like I need an excuse for more toys haha
