3.4/5
A budget way into aluminum TIG for a hobbyist who can add a pedal. Short welds at full power suit it best.

Pros
- Welds aluminum on AC at a price well under most AC/DC machines
- Runs off a household 120 V outlet at reduced output, so it works in a garage without a new circuit
- AC and DC pulse help control heat on thin aluminum and stainless
- Light enough at under 20 lb to carry to the job
Cons
- Only a 30% duty cycle at full output, so long aluminum beads mean pauses to cool
- No foot pedal in the box, and most aluminum TIG work needs one
- A 2 year warranty is short for a machine at this price
