For almost any welder, you can find bad points.
Ive been looking at the CWS 160, and the negative comments seem very thin on the ground. The only tangible one was Chunkolini's comment that it maybe does not start up the arc as well as higher priced machines.
Is this a case of noone actually owning the machine?
Im a potential buyer, and im wondering why i would want to pay more, as this unit seems at the bottom end of the pricing (for similar machines). The rtech gets mentioned often, but that's about £200 more for 20 more amps.
Basically, im just suspicious that, on paper, it looks about the best 'cheap' welder, but are its flaws just unheard of as noone is actually using one?
