Reply:I was looking at that on your website.The only thing was both Miller and Esab are selling their units for $2999Hands down Everlast has the most options.I have said in the past I would jump on the 221 Everlast except for the fact of mail in repair/replace if there are problems.If I buy from my LWS they will always give me a loaner if needed during repair time.Tom
Reply:Their list price is much higher.  Some retailers are selling at a higher price.  I suspect that is an introductory price you are looking at, especially since the 25% tariff has hit ESAB and Miller on this stuff as well and the prices on the ESAB unit were posted before this tariff was on the horizon. As far as mail in, ESAB is much in the same boat since so many so called dealers are only online with them.  The brick and mortar stores that can sell them, don't stock them, at least in my area and my travels across the South East.  Even if they do, they likely won't be at the discount price, but closer to full retail.  If they don't stock them, they don't provide loaners, IF they can fix it.  I have an ESAB, and have gotten the cold shoulder about things I needed in way of parts even from the name brand store where I bought it from.Esab Migmaster 250Lincoln SA 200Lincoln Ranger 8Smith Oxy Fuel setupEverlast PowerPlasma 80Everlast Power iMIG 160Everlast Power iMIG 205 Everlast Power iMIG 140EEverlast PowerARC 300Everlast PowerARC 140STEverlast PowerTIG 255EXT
