I don't know what you want out of a welder like this, but I am in the electric gate & wrought iron business. My welders must be reliable & strong enough to do the job every day or I don't have any use for them. Mine is mounted in the bed of my truck and I have enough welding leads to get out 150' from the truck to arc weld and I never have a problem. These Miller Blue Star units are always easy to start (plus the convenience of electric start), the hold enough fuel to run them all day on the job. I arc weld with mine, I also run my power tools which can be a hand drill, or a 13 amp chop saw, a large miter saw, a 60 lb jackhammer, core drill, hammer drills, and I can also run my 180 amp mig welder. Sometimes I'll have multiple people plugged into the generator, and as long as we don't get ridiculous it works great. It also has both run or run/idle settings, so you can run it full bore constantly or let it drop down to an idle when nothing is active. As far as reliability, I have a couple of these same welders that are on the job 8-10 years and the still fire up and work everyday. Can't say enough good things about them.Read full review

This welder is a good value. It is very versatile. I needed a portable welder that was engine driven and this one fits the bill nicely. Has a large fuel tank for long run times. It is a bit heavy but with the optional roller kit , it is fairly easy to move around. I wish it returned to idle automatically after I stop welding however. You have to manually switch it to idle. All on balance, it’s a great value. I recommend it even if you’re just a hobbyist working on cars.
