In my opinion, no. They look like they're gasless (flux core only) and 110/115/120V. The difference between those and a MIG (gas) 220/230/240V setup is *enormous*.

I've been using a Drico 150D MIG from Amazon since 2016. It's a 150A 220V unit. I've built front and rear bumpers, carts, done automotive sheet metal work, all kinds of stuff. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be available anymore, but it shows that a Chinese MIG can be reliable.

I had an AHP TIG, too. It died one month after the warranty expired. The cost of shipping it for repairs would be half the cost of a brand new one, plus the repairs, which I believe were only warranted for 30 days. I replaced it with an Andeli TIG off of Alibaba and it's been working great. It's not worth paying the markup to an American reseller of Chinese welders, in my opinion. Just go to the source, save money, and plan to buy another if it fails. Plus, it's been my experience that the Chinese sellers will at least attempt to troubleshoot problems, and they'll provide schematics. The American resellers just give extremely basic tests and then say you need to ship it back and pay for repair, and they omit schematics from the manual, probably to hide the fact that there are a handful of Chinese welder designs repackaged into countless brands.

Yes, times change. But, this is still the best hardware shop out there for folks like me. Can't complain.

Your welder depends on the welding requirement. My suggestion would be to take a local community college welding class and learn by doing. Then decide what your needs require and don't buy it from HF or YES, but that's just me.

Remember to buy welding gloves, and welding mask if you don't want your eyes to feel extra spicy

https://hfpricetracker.com/tools/64545 shows historical pricing but I'm not sure how accurate it is (if any sales are missed in the history).
