Just ordered the PowerUltra 205

Talked with alex today and ordered the PowerUltra 205.

i did alot of research and really couldnt find anything Negative about this unit or Company. Read few problems with shipping and few machines not working right... but that happens with anyone, any buisness, even with me runing a small shop i tend to mess up once in awhile.. its how the problem is handled is rather you have a repeat customer or not.. i feel Everlast seems to car and know about what they have. everytime i have called, i manage to speak to a human and not a machine.. lol.. with a 30day return and 5 year warranty, it seems Everlast has confident in there machines...

i decided on this machine for several reasons...
i run a small custom automotive shop , restoring cars and doing frame work and etc... i currently have 3 mig welding machines and 1 320amp ac/dc tig machine...
i was currently looking for a plasma cutter . but with few hundred dollars extra i could get the tig as well in one unit...
my thoughts are.... to get this machine due to the size , it would be much easier to wheel around the shop to do sheetmetal work then my 320amp tig machine (weighs about 500pounds.. lol).. i was only needing DC for sheetmetal work.. so i figure this would be a good choice to have a machine that i can wheel around the shop , and just keep my bigger bulkier tig machine by the frame table..
if this machine does me well, i will be buying a single plasma cutter , and a ac/dc tig unite separate later.
i feel like this machine will meet my needs for now, and i look forward to getting the machine...

i posted this to try to keep people updated on my experience with the Everlast products, and see how long shipping would be from them to me (Alabama)...
i will post up when i receive the machine and as i work with it ill try to post up pics and input from personal experience good or bad....

thanks

I did the same thing you are doing, I have had my 205 ultra for a couple months and it is a great machine. when I upgrade I am going to get the 250ex and just use the plasma of the 205 ultra .

A note about "wheeling around" the PowerUltra: It is easily carried and placed near any work area. But you should know that we now are carrying carts so that you don't have to carry it if you don't want to.

Prob is easy to carry.... but i use the full size argon bottles, so that would become a pain to carry as well.. hahaha...


again, look forward to putting this machine to use...

Have you set up your 205 yet.
Just wondering if you have done any projects yet and what your opinion is.
Thanks.
