Awesome video and based on your review, I did order the YesWelder. However, due to very poor customer service and with the errorously charging and fraudulently collected a city sales tax which I am not required to pay, I cancelled my order and YesWelder is providing a 100% refund. YesWelder customer service refused to refund the fraudulently collected city sales tax and stood their ground on ignorance and laziness, and "relying" on their "system" to "automatically" charge for said taxes. PSA: I do recommend for those who have made a purchase with YesWelder to double check their invoices for accuracy of all charges. I live in the county, not the city limits, and therefore I am not required to pay a city sales tax. For charging me a city sales tax was in error. This information was in fact confirmed by me calling the "City" revenue department. Not only did YesWelder lost the sale because of the fraudulent collection of city sales tax (in my situation), they lost a customer and any possible repeat sales.
I got one when in kickstart development. Oct 22 was when it shipped. Used it very little. 6 hours between its functions. After tig welding first time the stick function quit working. If the warranty is up your on your own. They emailed saying they will respond asap. Month ago now. Wish I wouldn't of bought it.
One thing that would be nice on a review like this is, to show an amp probe so we can make sure we have the power required to run different machines. I'm a bit amperage deficient in my shop.
It's my understanding that the TIG torch uses high freq to initiate the arc. The plasma torch uses a blowback start. The blowback start does make the plasma torch consumables more expensive.
I purchased one and after the first cut the cutter quit. So I spent $115 more on consumables and that did not fix it. Now it’s just a welder I would not buy it again.
How come nobody actually takes about duty cycle on Yeswelder machines. This is most important. "PUT the machine to heavy use like welding hardsurfacing on a dozer blade or dual shield fluxcore on 1/4 plate. This machine just will not cut it because of duty cycle. You need at least 80% duty cycle at 200 amps for mig/flux core and at least 60% at 180 amps for stick. Plasma cutting needs 60% duty at 40amps out put. Then you got a machine. All mine welders are light industrial and they all have great duty cycles. Of your just fixing the odd thing here and there then this might be the right weld set for you. I think this is were this welder is marketed to, the hobby market. Whether this machine will beat the test of time is another issue. Too many things to go wrong with all the different functions.
Seems like 100% duty cycle at 200amp when running at 240v on a 50amp circuit is not a lie. I just ran 5 foot long beads on 1/4” I beam to 3/16” plates for structural steel girder under a double wide. I was tired after 3’ of welding, 2050 wasn’t phased. Totally worth it.

I think its cool having the ability to control the arc so precisly

Quality review. Seems to be a well rounded machine. Features that i feel important. I may go for it.
Great flag on the back ground.
Does it have laser welding control
This looks like an impressive machine, but with the bad experience I had with a Chinese plasma cutter, I am a little skeptical. Very good video.
Am in Ghana can you help me purchase the machine
Does the torch use a blowback or hf pilot?
From ehat i found HF
Blow back S45 torch.

Will it handle 1/8 rod?
Toy machine
