i have an arccaptain stick welder. i bought it on amazon for peanuts, like 135.00. i fully expected to be sending it back a day later, but its been terrific. not super great with 6010, but not horrible either. not too many inverter welders are, you just have to be on your game. . 6011, burns like butter. runs 1/8 7018 like its nothing. hot start, dig, its been great. ive been pretty tough on it, hasnt failed. i would for sure buy from them again. quite frankly, for what i need, i will never buy big red or blue. their replacement pcb boards that go bad regularly cost the price of 5 or more arccaptains. the welders themselves, you can buy 25 or more arc captains. keep em coming. buy what you want on amazon, they take back anything if you are unhappy with it. not sure what you mean by multiprocess. those are usually stick/tig. some even mig. if you want tig, it probably wont have AC for aluminum. you think you wont need it, but when you have it, you will be surprised how much alum there is to repair. scratch tig not so good. need a pedal, especially for aluminum. also, i hate tig with the knob on the handle to turn on and off the gas flow. mostly wastes a lot of gas. post exactly what model you are looking at. i just looked up a couple. they have them on temu for 350 bucks. lift tig though. i had a lift tig for first tig welder, out grew it very quickly.
