There is 2 or 3 open threads about these machines and how people praise them highly for been so brilliant. Fair enough I'll go with it as I've not used one but please correct me if I'm wrong here is it not just a stepped controlled mig with a visual aid on the front? I guess the real question I'm asking is what's the rave about?
It's a DIY welding forum, mainly MIG, so there's always been a lot of interest in the best decent new MIG for a limited budget, especially for car work. For years Clarke was the main candidate. Clarke seems to have been knocked off their perch by the GYS 162 as the best value for that sort of money. I think that's about it.
