Duty cycle at real amps
The quoted duty cycle only matters at the amperage you'll actually run. A machine at 35% duty at its working output out-performs a bigger number quoted at unrealistic settings.
Service network
When a trade machine stops mid-job, the price difference between an Australian-distributed brand and an import stops being theoretical. Ask who repairs it, in what state, before buying.
Included kit
Regulators, trolleys, torches and starter consumable packs move real value between listings that look otherwise identical. Price the add-ons before comparing machine to machine.
Power supply match
The right machine on the wrong circuit is a paperweight: check 10 A / 15 A / three-phase before the price tempts you.
Buying tips before you commit
- Match the output class to the thickness you weld 90% of the time — not the one-off maximum
- Verify the plug type suits your circuits before anything else
- Price consumables (tips, liners, shrouds, rods) availability locally — running costs outlive the purchase
- Buy from sellers who answer the phone; warranty is a service promise, not a document
- Check our observed-price tables above — list prices and street prices differ more at the trade tier
