1G New welder....

So as much as I love my Miller I feel like its time for something with more features and Some more amperage. I really want the Miller Dynasty but its like 5 grand. The miller diversion is a great welder but it has no post flow control, ac balance..... basically nothing. So im probably going to get shit for my choice but Imo it has the best features/ quality for the price. I decided for the Htp Invertig 221... Some guy came up yesterday and have me 1700 for the miller. Not bad in my estimation. I took out the Longevity 200Sx.....I hate to say it, it welds aluminum better than the miller because of the ac balance. Not bad stainless either

I don't have an htp, but I do have an Everlast, I also venture to day it is better than any Miller i have used as well. I don't think anyone should ever overlook offbrand machines when it comes to purchasing a quality piece of equipment.

Well htp is built in Italy and Have not seen one bad review. Everlast is a chinese welder right? Ive also heard alot of good from everlast.

American made with Chinese parts. Well, they were, I don't know what they are now.

Great choice. I know a couple fabricators that love theirs and chose them over miller and lincoln machines. I've noticed a good difference welding with an HTP vs my $700 AHP.

I love my ahp but when and if it does die I'll be getting either an htp or an everlast. I like how the cheap Chinese welders have the extra knobs and controls so you can fine tune them. I almost got a Hobart tig but I didn't like how you just had a setting for whatever you were welding without any ability to change balance or post flow. I'm definitely no pro but I've been able to pull off some decent welds with it.
