can anyone with more knowledge than me shed some light on this machine?

the main downsides i can see are the fact it wont go below 30 amps, and it isnt pedal compatible at all...

im not bothered about pulse to be honest, im never going to do anything that would follow any procedure or even come close to 'needing' it. would be nice, but not necessary.

works out around 370 plus whatever his majesty deems suitable on impot duty. the Wise calculator seems to think there wont be any, but im skeptical.

alternatively at the same price is Hitbox, same amperage, has pulse and comes with a pedal included, but then we are back at the china stage again, but no import duty as the one i have found is sold from a welding supplier in the UK, so if all else fails i can stick in the car and go for a drive to deal with people in person

Warranty will involve sending back to Germany so shipping costs involved, maybe ask @fizzy for advice on any charges involved.

I honestly think these are all a lottery

I have the smallest, least controllable, gasslees mig welder, complete with live torch

Damn thing won't give up. I expected it to die before the first roll of wire went through it, and gasslees caveats aside it's been great

I bought a significantly more spendy multipurpose machine and it was back with the seller in a week

Similar story with my first gasless mig, no live torch but was told it was basically junk...it refused to die...my inverter mig was so temperamental I ended up going back to a transformer machine

Saves about 30 quid over Ebay, will definitely be worth doing it that way if this is the welder i choose
