    Right out of the box the nozzle would not come off without a wrench and the "threads" (a coil of stiff wire) fell out of it. It would not thread back on again so I bodged it on with teflon tape for shielding gas use and I'll need to buy another nozzle, likely along with more consumables but, perhaps from a different manufacturer?

    This welder will also blow 15a breakers on 120v -- at a relatively low setting -- just like the plasma cutter from Reboot I also purchased at the same time, only not quite as easily. A 20a breaker helps but will still trip at medium/high 120v welding settings, well below what the manufacturer claims is doable. There appears to be nothing aside from trial and error to determine the high limit on 120v, still... it works well enough. The automatic setting actually works very well but, it really shines when finessed on manual. 240v operation is nearly on par with my miller 252.

    Aside from the nozzle breaking immediately this welder actually works rather well with 75/25 -- and is very capable using Flux core if configured correctly. It is a highly adjustable, light, very competent and smart looking machine and I look forward to acquiring and using a tig torch with it soon.

    I'm more or less happy with this half of the purchase.
