So far so good. For the money it is an awesome little welder. I have only used the flux core mig function so far but I will be trying stick welding soon. I just wish it included a tig torch but at this price point you can't complain. I have the matching 20p plasma cutter which i also like. Forney makes a great product.
I been welding for 10 years I’ve had Miller, Lincoln and now Forney and this little welder has surprised me thus far, as long as you duty cycle it correctly I believe it will last for ever!
