Rated 5 out of 5 by Door Guy from Great Welder Got mine in the back of my truck now for 7 years exposed to the elements. Almost 900 hrs on it. Frame rusted off on the bottom. Still runs and welds like a new welder. True Blue.....

Rated 2 out of 5 by Sean11565 from Did not last Bought 7 years ago for a service truck. Ran fine for just about 400 hours and stopped working. Had serviced and was told the generator was gone and it needs a very expensive repair to get working. Was kept inside and maintained. Last Miller lasted much longer and thought we would get more than 400 hours on this one. Was a nice machine when it worked. Price to fix is half of a new machine, did not expect to replace so soon.
