I was welding before high school, now 75. Got stick, MIG and gas welders in the shop. It may not be rocket science, but it does take some attention to detail and to safety. I took an EAA TiG course several year ago taught by the Lincoln rep who made money on the side by welding up Inconel exhaust for INDY car turbo systems. Doing TiG correctly takes way more than just a $352 unit.

I weld a good bit for stuff which has to stay together. If it's not Miller, Lincoln or comparable (if there is comparable) I'm not wasting my money on it. I've seen lots of "inexpensive" welders which either don't work long or have no parts/service. I look at these low priced things all the time seeking one which is modestly priced but still works. Haven't found that yet.

If you want TiG, budget about 3 grand for a start. You need a foot control high frequency welder, a GOOD gun, a dedicated grinder with a wheel used only for sharpening the
TiG tips and a work area clean of contaminants.

Now, MIG isn't nearly that demanding, but you still need grinders, cutting tools, aprons, GOOD helmet(s), gloves, etc.

110V welders are good for sheet medal and that's about it as they're limited to maybe 110-120 amps. You must have 220V and preferably 50 amp service if you're going to weld much. Otherwise you're better off finding a good welding shop near you and having them do it right. I still use a welding shop for heavy work or aluminum.

As an analogy, I have two lathes, two mills and two drill presses in my shop. But I still use a "real" machine shop for heavy work.

Welding can be fun and you can learn to do it well. But it's not entirely trivial and you will have to spend quite a bit more that $350 to even begin to do it poorly not to mention well.
At least a welding TikTok challenge might make it cool to go into trades, which is sadly lacking in the US for the past few decades.

Next up: "Bruh replaces R-134a in mom's car A/C and recaptures 100% BLINDFOLDED!"

Nobody can do anything to hurt Americans more than we hurt ourselves.
Read a comment on Amazon suggesting they will not honor warranty claims if purchased from Amazon. Might want to look into that

Quote from Blizzard--- :
At YES site, I noticed this wording in the description...

"Not able to weld aluminum nor is compatible with a spool gun."

The TIG is DC only, so it'll be good for Steel and SS only.

Usually $500+ for ac Tig

LMAO. Toooootally....

They should make welding the next TickTok challenge.

They have people getting felonies for sucker punching teachers....
And sticking pennies in btwn phone chargers & the socket (kids got arrested for arson in MA)...
And dancing next to a rolling car (people got hit/run over)...
And so on. Literally anything that china can think of, to harm and/or mess with retarded americans...

Amazon also has the PRO for $429.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CBCB...ZH68X?th=1

Is it worth the $77 difference?

Since I have 220 in my garage, it seems like it, however, the portability of 110 is nice to have. Hmm.

I can personally vouch for this welder and this company. I've got this welder, their dc only tig welder, their plasma cutter, and a couple of their masks, and they all seem to work every bit as well as the miller equivalents I'm used to. I paid 360 for mine back in May, but I've noticed that their products tend to go up in price over time instead of going down.

Basically it boils down to do you value being able to weld aluminum or do you want to be able to power it off 110V more. I unfortunately value the 110 capability more.

It's takes time and practice but YouTube has actual training videos from replicable sources on it's platform. Look around and you will find what you need. Always remember electricity can kill you dead!

Bought one through Amazon. Would liked to have saved on the sales tax but read a review on the Pro model that said it took 2.5 months to arrive from YesWelder directly.

Is anyone able to tell me what else someone would need besides this to get started? This is being purchased for someone who is a beginner, with nothing welding related as far as I know. Thank you.

You'd be much better off getting a used Lincoln, Miller, or Hobart. You'll often get a tank included, too.
