Why you screwin aroundon Amazoom current version of Sears catalog when you can go to Fornay site and get good information and all you want?
Might even be dealer in your neighborhood you can go and kick tires instead of waiting for suprize box dropped off truck.

No fan of multiprocess machine here, never liked all or nothing idea. 1 of my machines goes down I got 2 other machines still work.

It doesn't look bad, the new inverter welders can do amazing things on 110V. If you aren't doing heavy stuff or don't mind doing multiple passes it should do most tasks. I've been doing most of my welding on a Titanium 170 from Harbor Freight the last year or so using flux core, on 110V or 220V depending on what's already hooked up... that welder surprises me on 110V. If I really wanted to burn something in I have a transformer stick welder but it gets used less anymore... Keeping some 3/32" 6011 rods around with that welder wouldn't be bad though. I've been meaning to try that on the Titanium (I have a 200 as well, it's multi process).

I'm not completely sold on the multi process thing, but I don't rely on one welder, there's 4 electric welders and one torch set in my garage right now and another of mine at my brothers...

Yeah, I am not big fan of units that are supposed to do too many things, but my shop is getting really crowded.

I was going to go the multi process way but realized I’m just not going to do enough welding to really utilize all of the capabilities- I ended up finding a nice, nearly new Viper MIG 180 (220v) which gives me both stick and MIG at a good price.
