^^^^^^
Anyone purchased one of these have any reviews or thoughts on this machine?

@lightning is correct I bought one of him about two years ago. I think it was the 230amp model as well. The above design has changed a little but looks to be only aesthetics that have changed.
Decent wee machine, tho i've only ever used it for welding steel.
Welded at several cars with it, which passed mot thereafter, usually run 0.8mm wire in it but have a reel of 0.6mm sitting for thinner stuff.
Its never given me any bother in the time i've had it and has welded at both ends of the power scale without complaint. Have welded 6mm+ steel with a single pass (JCB Buckrake) and sizeable fillet welds on heavier stuff.

Im happy to answer any questions you may have on my own model

I know you are probably trying to shift these due to stock levels, but can I also recommend going to see @lightning for the SIP stuff too.

I've bought 2 SIP 181DP's from him so far and they are both awesome at anything I have managed to throw at them. One is in constant use in a workshop and the other is in my garage and gets a reasonable amount of use

What price are the 150amp ones?

@gaz_5103 they're £235 all in. Thats for the supermig150 which is a good welder and in stock. The mightymig150 is less but I wouldn't recommend it as its comes gas less and by the time you set it up to work from gas it pushes the price up to above the better quality one!
