Message	The one in the pic is a LTPDC2000 3 in 1 ;) When I first started researching welding a didn't know that I needed AC to be able to properly tig aluminum. So I sold that unit and picked up the LTPAC 2500 5 in 1. I did a lot of research on Lotos and they seem to be a really good company for the money. For less than the cost of a lower model Lincoln or Miller I got the ability to do tig / stick / plasma. I have used the name brand ones and honestly can't tell much of a difference. If i were to start welding 30 hours per week I would look into maybe upgrading but the Lotos has a 5 year warranty so its hard to justify the price difference when I am just a hobbyist. Also, the first unit arrived with a broken handle from Amazon. I called Lotos and told them.....zero questions asked they mailed me a new handled. Madhatter10-6
