No personal experience, but I'm hoping somebody who's used one of the
3 in 1 TIG / Plasma cutter / Stick welders by Longevity or Everlast
will chime in with their experiences. Inverter machines at budget
prices. The Miller Diversion (inverter machine) has been getting good
reviews from the people who bought them.

I saw a lot of broken ones on ebay, not a good sign. I would stay
away, everything I heard about them is negative. If their manufacturer
does not even want to put their name on the product, that's not a good
sign either.

An inverter is only as good as the warranty...and the company that
stands behind it.

Friends don't let friends buy TIGs that have expired warranties.

Dont like anything that's three in one. Like scanner, printer, copier.
Never had one that worked worth a flip, and if you got problems with one
segment, usually the whole thing is useless. Not to mention the thick
instruction book. I prefer stand alone welding tools, save the ones that
have stick/tig combos.
