Who's got experience with them? I'm looking to expand my capabilities a little. Dragging a Milllermatic 185 and a 10K genny around isn't really efficient. I'd like to pick up one of the several 200A class MTS machines, but I was curious who had played with what and what they thought. Looks like respected Chinese units start around $800, Esab and Linc have something in the $1500 range, and Miller is too expensive to consider, especially considering the things I've heard lately about their quality slipping.
 
No experience, but I will be following this. I've been looking at the esab rebel, and the tweco (thermal dynamics) fabricator 211.

I looked at the Tweco briefly. It's not the cheapest to get into, and to set it up for TIG or anything else is too expensive in my opinion. The accessories are ridiculous.

I have an Everlast. No issues and pleased with it.

Which one? Where did you get it from? They've been on my short list since I discovered them years ago. I don't like how they change models around so frequently and seem to drop support for old models quickly, but they were the first MP that caught my eye.
 
I have an everlast imig200 and a something 205 (ac/dc tig/plasma, stick). Never had an issue out of the multiprocess, the voltage display on the mig has acted a little funky a couple times, but did not effect function. I have ordered consumables from them directly and from ebay easily and inexpensively.

I bought the multiprocess for home use before I opened the shop and have used it in the shop ever since, primarily for plasma cutting, but a couple times a month as Tig. The mig is used almost daily.
