What first drew me to Everlast was the 140ST, but since then my sights have widened to the new 200DX. These little arc welders are quite a value, and dual voltage makes them even more portable. This 160STH is impressive in that it even has HF tig. If I wasn't so set on an AC/DC 200amp unit, it would be very inticing.

The 140st and 200dx would be a nice combination to have. I owned the 200dx and I think it's a fantastic welder, but it's a heavy unit to lug around. I use the Power Arc 140st more than any other welder I use. I've used it around people a couple of times and they all were in shock that a welder that small could burn 1/8 rods. It's a good to have a dual voltage machine like the 140 to open your avenues for work. I've ran them both from my generator and the 140 barely changes the tone of the engine.

The 140st is a pretty awesome little package. Although I don't have one, I've got one as my avatar! It's got some nice features while being so compact and efficient. Lift start TIG! Gotta love it.

If you're a stick welder, the PA200 is the machine to have, lots of power and the 6010 mod/port.

I personally favor the PA160STH. You still have dual voltage, MMA/stick. But it also has TIG with HF start (DC only) and not that I use it, it works great with the optional foot pedal.. A happy medium for stick/TIG people (welding indoors or outdoors, 110 or 220). Just my $.02.

I sent the 160STH out to Jody a few months ago after i did the final changes at the Factory. Jody was very quiet on the performance of the unit and to be honest i had thought he just did not get around to using it and evaluating it. That is untill i received a Emaiol from him some time ago and while he did not say very much , he did say that i must be very proud of the involvement i had in the 160STH .
The 140 ST is a sweet little unit but make no mistake the 160STH is something else again.
Some Everlast personall have seen this first hand , but not all have had the opportunity at this point to see just what we are talking about.
Cheers

My personal thoughts (don't shoot me!). I think there is definitely a market niche that the 160 can fill. I think the challenge might be educating the consumer all of the value they will get for the difference in price over the 140. I definitely see one of the 140's strong points is its small size and very low weight. I see the 160 more of something that will see more bench time. The gas solenoid is definitely worth something and so does pedal support for those dealing with varying thicknesses and those dreaming of up slope and down slope capabilities - albeit manually by manipulating the pedal. There may be better performance too but none of this is super obvious from the website / literature.

The use of the Everlast welder is nicely understated. From what I could see, only mentioned in the comments as an answer to a question on what welder was used. Very nice.

He doesn't show a picture of the welder, so I too did not not know it was an Everlast till I looked down at the comments. He wasn't obviously advertising the welder, 'nicely understated' like you say. The arc sure was calm and buttery.

There was just a sliver of green on the top shelf of the cart behind him.

You have better eyes than I do. I did a quick scan and didn't see it. All the better that it came out as a response to a viewer's question.
