The cheap $200 ones generally break easily from what I understand. Watch Youtube.

That said, I bought a cheap one from an electronics guy in Milwaukee. He has a neat business where he buys them in bulk, tests them, upgrades the components that usually break, and then sells it for $300 or so with a warranty for a year. Search craigslist in Milwaukee under "plasma cutter."

I have had mine for over a year, and works fine. cuts 1/2 inch steel.

It doesn't feel heavy duty, but for my hobbyist use, works great. He said that repairs, if it blows, are usually around $25.
