Had one = sh1te

All right for a big electrolysis job on a chassis but not much else...

This one's an inverter. First time they have sold them.

Not sure about sh1te.....

Bought one.....only had changed to run a couple of beads,
on some 4mm steel ....I'm a pure novice at arc welding,
but was surprised at how much better it seemed than an
old transformer type welder, that I own.

3 years warranty, seems good for a welder of this price...
time will tell

Feed back, open box and some tests here http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/aldi-inverter-70.76068/

Oh yea and inverter tec for Arc or MIG makes you look like a much better welder!

Aldi "Special Buy" products are usually not as good as you'd like in my experience.

mmmmm.....

Maybe not the best in the world..... but they do price them
accordingly, and not afraid to give reasonable warranty's on their stuff !!


....no ...I don't work for them !!
