I own 5 welders, and I didn't buy any of them new. Don't be afraid to purchased a used machine. But, if you buy it from an individual, you might want to test it, or at least see it work, before buying. You can get good deals on used stuff. If you have a Snap-On guy near you, see if he has any trade-ins. Two of mine I got off my Snap-On dealer for steals because he wanted them out of storage.
