What has been the long-term reliability of MMA inverters? I want to buy a machine that will last many years. What are the common reasons for failure?
1 Hours of use? My DIY usage would be very low compared with that of a professional
2 Impact?
3 Dust / temperature / humidity? I could store a compact welder in the house, rather than leaving it in my garage.
4 Component quality / Build quality? Have top-of-the-range machines (Kemppi, Lorch, Murex, etc) been much more reliable than those in the Clarke price bracket?
Out of warrantry, how do repairs bills for a top range machine compare with buying a replacement Clarke?
