Blue brand 150 Amp mig

[Vanish]

I'm looking to purchase a first mig welder. I own a merc vito, which is are renown rust buckets, so a mig welder is really a necessity.
I have seen this

Has anyone had any experience with this welder at all?
They do sell a Clarke 160te also which would be the next option if the blue brand is not recommended.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi, by the look of it its another "chinese import" machine with no real maker, the 160te is 10 amps more powerful a half decent name good service and parts backup.

Looks like it's the Clarke machine for me then.
Thanks

Think the Clarke would be my choice, if I am not mistaken the 160te is just a gimmick brand number, I am fairly sure it is a 150 amp machine...I may be wrong though.
