Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a 59 year old having worked in the automotive and Marine industries all my life I have accumulated about 4 double garages full of tools. I once owned a Snap On plasma cutter that I paid around $3000.00 for. It died after roughly 10 years of HEAVY use. Over the last several years I have been doing a lot of metal fabrication work in my shop at my house. A couple years back I needed a plasma cutter but couldn't afford$3000.00 for one so I started looking around for one. I checked all the big name brands at our local welding supply stores. Boy did they have some really nice ones, Miller, Lincoln, Hobart, ESAB, nice BIG and HEAVY transformer machines. Trouble was they had the price tag to match their weight. One day while looking on the internet and not really getting anywhere I decided to look on Amazon, just mainly for laughs ! I spent 3 or 4 more months checking out the various offshore light weight machines I really became interested in the Lotos, in particular the LTPDC2000D. It's a plasma cutter, Tig and stick machine. I tell everyone forget about 110 volts. Go with 220 volts, you'll be a ton happier and save yourself a bunch of headaches. I have now owned this thing since May of 2017 and have 0 complaints. I have put this through the ringer and it's been great. I have mostly used the plasma cutter. Recently however I need a stick machine so I hooked up the leads and the stick welder performs great up to 200 amps ! I even welded with some 6010's and laid down a nice bead. I mostly use my MIG welders. I have not used the TIG function yet. Like I mentioned, I mainly bought this for the plasma function. I keep the machine clean and keep my tips clean and rarely need to replace them. If this thing died tomorrow I couldn't complain. I have tried to wear this thing out and it just won't die. It is very light weight, which I thought was a joke when it came in. This machine like many machines today is an inverter machine hence the light weight. Inverter technology has come a long way. If your in the market for a plasma cutter I recommend this one. IF IT GETS MY SEAL OF APPROVAL, IT HAS TO BE GOOD ! If your new to plasma cutters take your time and learn. I have not been paid a promotion fee or received any merchandise in exchange for this review ! I waited nearly 2 years before reviewing it.
