hi all. i previously authored a post, - "too poor for mig" about three years ago.
well, i finally got a job, and now i can afford a mig, lol.
so. ive been nosing around this site, and the internet classified sites, checking every brand i come across with posts about them on here. this site is a great resource.
so, ye all hate the smaller sip welders, thats a given, universal. everyone loves the clarke 150/151/160 migs.
it seems the main fault of the smaller sips is the wire feed. apparently this isnt a problem on the larger models, and i have read posts from many owners that love them, think theyre great, particularly the 240 super model, this one i think

in Ireland i have spotted two of these, both priced at 700 second hand. thats more than i want to pay. i want to pay 500 max.
so ive been reading about the SIP Autoplus 181DP

This can be bought for 499 euros, new, in Ireland. I know theres on chap on here who has one and loves it, but other than that there's precious little by way of reviews.
so i thought id start this thread, in the hope of finding more info on it. it looks impressive for the money?
* i just came across this review, it doesnt bode well for it
