Not fit for purpose
Bought this in Oct 2015 for occasional diy small welding jobs. After using for 3 minutes on and off it overheated and cut out. Had to wait for nearly ten minutes for it to cool down. Problem may be that it doesn't have a fan, but there is no mention of the duty cycle on the box. In the manual it states it is 5% which means you can use it for 5 minutes in every hundred. Useless even for a DIYer. I can't take it back because it has been used and is not faulty, just useless. Will now look for a fan cooled unit elsewhere.

Perfect for the job
I do a lot of arc welding making gates, metal framed doors etc etc
Superb unit, very stable and reasonably light to move about.
The unit never overheats but it will trip the electrics if the domestic supply is too low to stand the full 16amp this unit draws on the larger rod sizes.

A waste of money
I bought one of these welders when Aldi last had them in. It is a complete waste of money and cannot be considered fit for purpose. It overheats and cuts out within minutes, it is supplied with several sets of welding rods, however it can only use the smaller ones as the machine isn't powerful enough for the larger two sizes. Rubbish.
