Herolaser T700 Air-Cooled
#12 in Up to 1,500 WFull review
For a hobbyist with no 240 V outlet who welds thin sheet. It is the lightest full-function welder here, but the missing warranty is a real risk at this price.

For a garage welder without a 240 V outlet who still wants cleaning and cutting. Budget for the wire feeder if you weld gaps.
