    I would not have a problem with any Everlast machine with Mosfets mainly because I know the warranty is good. On the other hand I would never buy one that has to shipped back to China for repair.

    It looks like you are using 4043 filler by the blistered look on the top 3 welds, and the bottom weld has more cleaning action and most of the blisters went away. Try 5356 filler for practice it does...

    I go to a smaller tungsten size if the arc is unstable and dancing on low amperage AC welds. On the Syncrowave you got to or it looks like a Tesla coil. LOL

    I would like to hear more about how it welds up next to the 250ex. The only other 110 units that have extended ac balance, frequency up to 250 and pre-flow are Miller and maybe Lincoln that I know of.
