I have used, and like ESAB, and Miller as well. I am not doing production TIG welding.
So far I really like the Everlast, build quality and user interface seems on par with any name brand machines I have used in the past. I wouldn't buy it to weld 8 hours a day though. I bought it for the occasional motorcycle casting that needs repaired, or O2 bung welded into a stainless steel header for aftermarket fuel injection. Also for piddling repairs at home.
I have a Miller engine driven DC stick welder at my shop for heavy work, and a Lincoln MIG for light duty quick fixes. I spent a year looking at review after review, and the Everlast seems to pass most everyones tests. One caveat though is all the adjustments. The Miller TIG I used before was simple. I am having to learn which setting work best for me on Aluminum. Will take some experimenting before I am laying down dimes.
