LOL!! no man they are not decent or reliable welders. I know they are cheap. you are getting what you pay for them. They might work OK for a awhile but not reliably or consistently There truly is a reason they can sell them for so much less than a quality welder. Check out Miller Lincoln and Hobart, all these companies do is make welding machines and supplies.

thats a prefect start and don't sweat the the MSRP you can always find better deals on the internet or shopping around town
very reliable and parts like tips nozzles and everything else is easy to find.
I fabricate/weld for a living and I'm not paid to sell this stuff i use much bigger machines for work but at home i have had the lincoln 135 for 5 years and its been used hard and have never had trouble with it also i have a Miller 210 MIG welder for bigger jobs. AND you can have them serviced if something goes bad in them you don't have to buy a new one.
hope this helps out...
