Just wanted to throw out my experience with the 250. I did have some problems with the welder in the first few days (looked like shipping prob maybe) but Ray and everlast hooked me up and got my machine up and running quickly. I never touched a TIG before this machine and after getting over the initial anxiety caused by all the nobs I found it fairly easy to "tune in" and get welding.
Now with a couple jobs and very little practice i am excited every time I have a reason to use the Everlast.
