Reviews on Resanta SAIP-135 show that this is the best device for a beginner. The device shows itself well in the car industry. However, it should be borne in mind that the power of the device is not high enough, and therefore it does not lend itself to steel with a thickness greater than 6 mm.
In short, the main advantage of this welding inverter is its ease of use and easy transportation.
Aurora OVERMAN 160
A simplified version of the previously considered welding inverter Aurora OVERMAN 180, which is close to the ideal title. The creators of this model have reduced the power and the maximum value of the welding current, at the same time reducing the price tag. At the same time, the device still can boil metals with a thickness of up to 0.6 mm, just the speed of this process has somewhat slowed down.

- Very high cost.
This is one of the most expensive welding machines in our selection. The high price here is due not only to the support of several welding modes, but also to high power. All this allows you to prepare the device for any material, as well as to weld in the shortest possible time.
Reviews on the FUBAG INMIG 200 PLUS only confirm this. More people do not like the largest size of the device, which greatly simplifies its transportation.
What welding semiautomatic device to buy
If we are talking about welding machine, the device is not required to support only one mode of operation. If the device is purchased for professional use, it is better to consider models with the support of manual arc welding. Everyone knows that this method allows you to create a more even and reliable welding seam. And semi-automatic welding (MIG / MAG) is good because it is easy to learn.
When choosing a welding machine, be sure to pay attention to the electrical network to which you will connect it. The fact is that some devices require three-phase power. However, such models are rare, but traditional single-phase power supply with a voltage of about 220 V is usually used.
Current speed and power affect the speed of work. Be sure to check these parameters before purchasing the device. Moreover, the current depends on the thickness of the metal sheets that you can weld. Finally, knowing about the duration of continuous operation will not be superfluous - not all devices are capable of delivering maximum power for a long time.
