This looks like a nice machine on paper, but thus far I haven't found anything on YouTube, and there is little to no discussion on WeldingWeb. Does anyone have any information? Have you used this machine? Thank you.

Reply:The 220i is a Lorch built machine from Germany. Thermal Arc/Tweco was using Lorch prior to being forced to work with ESAB. It's a good unit. I have the 301i version and a Lorch 320SP Pulsed Mig machine. ESAB name could be holding it back.
