I'm not a brand whore! Show me a GOOD cheap welder with Euro-Torch connector on the front with a DECENT transformer up the ass of it and I'll happily have it, I've tried all the supposedly good hobby welders, but they just break all the time, the wire feeds are shit and made of cheap plastic that you can't replace... You struggle to replace the torch and lead when inevitably you accidentally screw the feed tube etc...
You'll spend £200 now and if it gets any real use it'll be another £200 in a few years time and all your welds will be shit!
An arc welder is just vastly more simple than a MIG - you don't need gas, you don't need wire, motors, feeders, tips... Arc you shove in a stick, strike her up and off you go, only consumable is sticks and wire brushes tbh!
