Good choice on the Everlast, I have a multi purpose inverter Arc and tig from them and it;s every bit as good as my Miller that cost over 2,000 more. It has the same 110/220 input and runs super smooth. Unless you are doing major commercial welding you don't need anything over 200 amps, I have a Lincoln 300 that I would use occasionally for shooting studs or welding 1” thick steel but it was a monster to move around plus you had to change up the transformer for your currant input. I got rid of all my machines when I retired except for the Everlast and I don't regret it.

Yes, I can’t disagree with you. I’m leaning toward one of the Everlast models. One guy I know does exhaust work and uses the TIG 325EXT. Says he loves it. But, there’s more of a learning curve with TIG, which I’m willing to do. Anything I choose will also have Stick (mig/stick or Tig/stick). I learned on stick and I was good at it. Simple, effective. I’ve seen videos of guys in Viet Nam or Pakistan building stuff with stick and it’s actually amazing what they can do. Very talented people with just basic welding machines.
