miller and lincoln have many models. from bare bones up to models with all kinds of buttons and knobs and bells and whistles. depends how big your wallet is. been reading alot of good stuff on the everlast, atleast regarding the machine itself. some of them are right up there with miller and lincoln. the price looks good, 5yr warranty and apparently they use name brand internal components, although theyre assembled in china. ya i hate china but some of the miller and lincoln stuff is assembled over there also from what i hear. figured i would ask here since you can never have too much real world info from trusted people.

All I use anymore is a shop master 300 single phase Lincoln so I'm a little picky on the stuff I use.

I bought a everlast power tig 250ex and I really like it but I had one issue with it, It would trip the over current protection so I sent it back and I'm waiting on my new one, I should have it today.

210ext is what i have my eye on but its out of stock. should be some available in a few weeks from what im told. from all the things ive read and videos ive watched it seems like a pretty good machine with a bunch of features normally only seen on $4000 machines. ill likely get a few upgraded accesories like foot pedal at time of purchase as the supplied pedal didnt seem to get very good reviews

No I don't care for the foot pedal either, Check out Mr tig on youtube,  he sells everlast welders that come with a few upgrades.
