Extremely impressed and satisfied!
Tried to learn to tig weld for over a month with another brand with absolutely no success, so I decided to purchase the AHP 2015. The Amazon reviews were great. And all the experts on youtube were giving this welder a big thumbs up. It took about 3 weeks to get the welder, and while waiting I studied the manual and watched numerous tig welding videos.
After receiving the welder in good shape, I set it up and started welding. I'm amazed at how well it works. I've welded carbon steel and aluminum with great success. While I still have a lot to learn, I feel confident enough to start my next welding project using this welder.
Pros) comes with upgraded flow meter regulator.
3 year warranty
Cons) I didn't invest in this welder earlier.
The foot pedal tries to slip away from you each time you depress it, so I mounted it to a board with a heel rest to solve that issue.
I'm especially impressed with how well this rig works on aluminum.
Bottom line you can't go wrong with this machine. I predict the price will jump soon.
8/24/15 update. I purchased a "Hot Maxx WC100 cart for this welder. Didn't fit very well at all. I used it for a Miller Mig and purchased the Northern Tool cart with drawers (pictured) . Fits like a glove.
