I have been in the welding game for years. I'm not a shop nor a pro welding every day. Lots of people who do are using brands like Everlast and some big welding supply stores that have an imported house brand. If you can get parts for it, it's not unreasonable to want to save some money over buying red or blue. Think of those guys as the Snap-on of the welding trade.
I've been tempted to by a multi-process welder to save space. But I have a stand alone Hobart for MIG and an Amazon welder for TIG which does stick. And I have a little stick only machine, AC/DC that I reach for a lot. It does quite a bit if you learn how to use it. I also still have my 120v MIG Lincoln like sold at the box stores. I can take that with me and do small jobs.
The TIG/SMAW machine I have is
here. They have been selling this machine for years now and the ratings are decent. I don't know where to get it fixed if it stops, so consider that.
I have used Eastwood's welders. They seem to be a marked up version of what you can buy online for less. Buying from a big company that handles service is important. HTP is sold in house by USA Weld. CK is another house brand from CK Worldwide. They used to sell direct, IIRC. Now they don't and have dealers all over just like red and blue. There are others.
