did you delete the other thread?

Trust me and go with the Lincoln. If there are any problems with the lincoln on the cheap welders some times they can be fixed. If those off brand ones mess up, they are ether paper weights or thrown in the dumpster, nothing you can do about them.

Ya I did to find out what one to buy. I just need to know what is the best one for around $200 to buy because in a day or two I will buy and want the one that performs best for the money I dont want to spend $250 to find out sum $150 welder is better...

I understand. Just remember, buy a $200 welder, you get a $200 welder. But if its just something you want to play around with and learn more about welding. It will do just fine.

The second one looks like the same one harbor freight sells-its junk.

Lincoln is the only way to go for a cheaper welder like that. A stick welder would probably be best if thats all your gonna have around.
