If I replaced my Evo 200 I think I'd probably buy the 220.
There's some interesting synergetic machines around like the rtech 181...but I really like the simplicity of the Kemppi.

a virtually mint second hand evo 200 would save you a lot of monies , bohler arre the other option although not laid hands on one .
Surprisingly hard to find used mig welders though? Unless im looking in the wrong places?

I quite like my Paton but I only use it for stick welding as I use my Kemppi for mig stuff. The Kemppi is a lovely machine for car repairs.
The Paton feels very well built!..forum sponsor sells them too.

you dont have to turn a bigger machine up all the way ,,, handy to have a bit in reserve if you do get a better power supply Ive a 32 amp on my Fronius , and a 32 to 16 and a 16 to 13 adapter in the bag , I must throw a 63 to 32 in there too now youve mentioned it ,,, never know what you may come across when your out there

People seem to list them as "mug welder"
It won't solve your problem though, I don't see many used ones worth buying. They are usually either big industrial ones or pieces of rubbish being sold for almost new prices.

But yes, that's my experience. I guess like me, people buy a machine and then keep hold of it for 10-15years till it goes pop and then replace.
Still a bit surprising there arnt odd people who have bought a little inverter mig, done a job or two, and then decided they want to space/cash back.
RTech claim to have sold 17,000 of the 180 over the years, something like 140 a month average. Even if 1% ended up listed for sale you would expect to see them.
