Pros
- The cheapest way into AC aluminum TIG in this list
- Pedal, torch and regulator in the box, so it welds once gas is connected
- Runs on household 120 V or 240 V
Cons
- No published duty cycle, so endurance at 200 A is unknown
- No pulse for heat control on thin parts
- Lotos sells it only on Amazon now, with no maker page to check specs against
