In my opinion a novice will have a more difficult time setting up a machine with discrete power...an experienced welder can weld with most machines as they can look/hear what needs adjusting.Only thought with the machine is it seems there is only 4 possible options for power, can this make it harder in certain situations
Plenty of inverter machines available with continuously variable power...a few people have the autostar 160 which comes with a good warranty (it's also a cheaper rebrand of a more expensive Jasic I believe).
Depends what you are planning to do with it....I do a lot of Jap cars and butt welded repairs (0.8mm steel)...having an auto machine means I can tweak the settings as I'm going along and the machine adjusts everything for me. The Kemppi can weld down to 0.5mm so I'm usually not using it on lowest but I have some room if I need it (ie if I run into a thin area)
