I have an old 110v MAC Tools MIG (Italian made), that has always sucked. I rigged up a new chinese wire drive and it worked better, but I am tired of fighting with it. Plus there are only 4 power choices via switch (Min 1 or 2/Max 1 or 2).
So after trying to weld up my kid's go kart, I decided it was a good excuse to order a new welder. I initially was going to just go to Harbor Freight and get the Titanium 140, but F*** Harbor Freight and their new pricing structure. The Titanium 140 is now $440, which is $90 more than they were going for last year.
Tons of options priced anywhere from $250 to $3,000+ for a true MIG welder. I know 110v is weak, but wanted to be in the $300 -$400 range. After searching and weighing my options, I am taking a chance on the Everlast Cyclone 140e priced at $375. New 2021 model that has a digital interface, no reviews and the manual is not available for download.

So what am I in for, will it be decent or pure garbage?
I will post a review once I receive it and test it out.
