Alright, start by saying, I am out of practice on stick so it take take me some fiddlin to get back in to the groove of it. Been doing nothing but Fluxcore for 3+years right now. The Yeswelder ARC205DS-PRO from here on out shall be known as "The Machine" This machine can run on 110 and 220 thought I havent had much luck on household 110 plugs other than blowing fuses. Im running the machine off a Champion 8125/6600Watt Generator on the 240V plug and no issues supplying power. I have more than enough wattage and then some. Watts out the Wazoo The machine runs really well as a hobby or farm unit or for small side jobs like repairs or something. The duty cycle listed is 60% at 205A and 100% at 158A on the 240V plug. However I had run 5/32 6013 rods all day long one after the other without issue on "205A" (In quotes because of Below) The amperage reading on the machine is off, by quite a bit. Looking on any welding reference chart, the amperage range for 6013 3/32 rod is 40-90A and having it set to that is not working. It runs stupid cold. Fiddling with it, turns out where I need it to be is around 150 on the dial. 1/8 rods sit around 180 and the 5/32 rods sit in the 200-205A range basically maxing out the dial. Thought I'm pretty sure no where near the max of this machine because the hot start definitely goes even when maxed out and I know thats some extra amperage so I do believe I'm not anywhere the max. I believe the manufacturer knows this which is why they only seem to sell up to 5/32 rod. On to the components. You get a good length of cable for your ground clamp and your stinger. They seem to be good quality. The stinger has little grooves the clamp for positioning your stick and it holds firm. For some reason one side of the stinger clamp is covered in a very thin layer of plastic that starts chipping off after use and exposes another copper contact within. Why? I dunno. I ran 3/32, 1/8 and 5/32 6013 rods without issue from the machine. Any problems seen here were user error because again, I'm out of practice. I was welding on 3/16" carbon steel plate. Tossing down stringers and fillets. I believe I got my moneys worth for a nice machine to get me back in to stick. Aside from the amperage dial being incorrect, this machine runs like greased lightning and I think if you're looking for a cheap home unit or something to get yourself started in your welding journey, this is a great option in my opinion. The Machine is also capable of Lift-TIG welding however does not come with a TIG Torch. That is sold separately. I do not have anything to say on the TIG Capabilities on the machine and even if I did, I wouldnt because I suck at TIG, I'm even more out of practice
