Sip topmig 150 or migatronic mono 160??

[Milez]

Guys i need a new welder as my old clarke 90 isnt powerfull enough.

Ive never really heard of either of the above which one would you go for? The topmig is £110 and the migatronic is around £150

Cheers

Miles

Just look at how many post there are in the SIP section ref "my welder has stoped working"...Not saying the Migatronic is a good machine but the SIP has bad press on here compaired to most others.
Ref power look at the max power and duty cycle at the max figures like 20%@ 140A. If you don't know what this means then look up duty cycle or search the forum. Or post back that you are not sure.

Yeah i searched for topmig and there was alot of people saying there machine wasnt working. But when i searched for migatronic mono only about 14 threads appeared.

Just trying to find the owners manuls so i can find out what duty cycles there are.

I just want a half decent welder for upto £200 thats 150amps or more
