For a home shop or small fabricator who wants a laser welder from a maker with real US support. The built-in feeder and air cooling make it easy to live with, but the warranty is short.
Amazon $3,999For a mobile welder who wants to leave the gas bottle behind. The price is high for the power.
Amazon $6,999For 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.
