What model? What do you hope to be doing with it?
Their current 131 monomig looks a bit crap, with a low current output of 50 amps, which is too high for thin bodywork metal, and a duty cycle of 15% at 105 amps. Link below:

The 152 and the 181 do go down to 30 amps, but their duty cycle of 60% at 55A and 80A respectively isn't anything startling, and probably worse than most Clarke hobby welders.

Price-wise they are more expensive than Clarke machines, so have a careful look around at whats available for your buck before buying.
