The machine seems good enough for the weekend or light industrial user but there are some frustrating design flaws which are very time and material wasting. The wire spool carrier isn't strong and stable so the spool sits at a slight angle which messes with the feeding of the wire giving mixed results. Also, there is nothing stopping the wire spool from unwinding off the spool and it does unwind every time the unit is moved causing an error at the wire feeding. The Flux core wire that comes with the combo seems sub-standard quality as it breaks quite often at the feeder (the pressure at the feeder is correct) and is half the price of quality wire, just not sure if its worth the hassle.
