Thanks so much for the reply, exactly what I was looking for. . I don't do a lot of TIG welding but do need it occasionally, and I hate borrowing my friends welders.

I had a pretty nice talk with the local welding supply/miller shop guy. My original intention was to buy a Miller, but I mentioned to the sales-guy that I was looking at the Everlast. He lowered his voice a bit and told me he thought it was a great bang for the buck in non-production work where the odd event something did go wrong you don't need instant service/turn around.
All that being said, I've been very happy with it but I'm by no means a pro. I have messed around with Aluminum on it without the cooler and it was fine for me, but again.. small bike tubes, not big production work.

Thanks for the review of the AHP Zeke... It is also one I had looked at, but was unsure of how long it would last after reading online reviews.
