IMHO is just one more thing that can screw up on you.

Some guys complain about the Everlast's fan being on all the time. I say, "are you serious"? Compared to all the other
noises going on in a shop, that's nothing. It's not that loud. Remember, the cooler your welder is the longer it'll last.

In short, it's a solid machine.
Thanks rake. I think I might take the plunge. I'm going to have them quote out a PT 200dx with the torch I want and the nicer SSC footpedal.

FYI, I was a Miller (welding side) and Lincoln (plasma side) guy for years. The red machine died and price to fix it was $200 less than buying a new one. And the price was just way up there. I ended up chancing Everlast many many years ago. Now, all green and never looked back.

Also, don't think the other colors are all made here in the USA. Also, when the plasma died, I was able to drop it off at Praxair, but they had to send it in for repair.
I talked to my LWS today, and I guess things have changed. It seems most of the time the machine has to be shipped back for repair no matter what the color.
Thanks - Todd.
