Silly question I know, but for those who have used both this and the Chinesium ones popping up on Amazon lately for <$200, is it a night and day difference?

So... I weld from time to time, not a pro, but I can make beads that don't look like bird dung. I've been rocking a "Pro Mig" that I got from Home Depot 10 years ago that's the same as this, 120V welder, 140 Amp rating. My welder is probably 1 step up from true Chineseum, but a step down from this. I have used friends' welders that are true chineseum, and I think there is a different.

Couple of things... A 240 VAC welder is always preferable to a 120 VAC welder if you have the budget, even if you are not welding thick stock. For a 120 VAC welder to work (well) you need a 20 amp circuit, ideally on a short run directly from the panel in your house.

Gas makes all the difference in the world. So really you need a cart and a tank.

The biggest difference is the dwell time and the transformer stability; that's what sets cheap from middle to good.

Dwell is simply how long you can weld and how much time you have to wait between welds to avoid frying the transformer.

The welders all do the same thing, take 120 VAC at 20 amps in, turn that into basically 20 VDC between 90 and 140 amps. A higher quality welder is going to maintaint a stable output voltage, especially during extended sessions. A cheap welder is not, and the output voltage is going to bounce all over the place.
