Looking at purchasing either the tweco or thermal arc 211i. Anybody have experience with these? Pros and cons? Would you buy again?

Thanks

What are you looking to do with it, and whats your overall budget? The triple-process welders that exist in the lower-mid pricepoints tend to be built with that price in mind.

Regardless of what your plans are, make sure that the welder you choose has readily available consumeables, and that accessories are made using industry standards plugs or connectors. Nothing is worse than saving money on a welder, only to lose more in the longrun on oddball parts and marked up 1st party accessories.
