Blue Demon Mig Welder at Enco? Review?

[ridgeway]

Anyone have positive reviews on the Blue Demon Enco sells? I almost purchased a Hobart 140, but I don't foresee using it often. Maybe a few small projects a year. If I hold out for a 20% + free shipping from Enco, the price of the Blue Demon would be attractive!

Just wondering if anyone has or used one and what your thoughts are?

The Hobart 140 is a much better machine. It is well constructed and will last a long long time. The Enco machine is an unknown quantity at best and could turn out to be very good, or it could turn into the source of huge regret. I don't have experience with the Enco stuff, but I have worn out a ton of Hobarts over the years.
