I have used one for almost a year for coutless projects. It hasn't failed me yet. Just dont use the crappy tubing it comes with to hook up your gas. Just get some fuel line.

Re: is this a decent machine to start on
 

couple hundred more? Like what? This is worth the money just for the plasma cutter portion.

I agree with CS on this! I have had mine for a few months, Yes I would like to Upgrade and probably will soon. BUt if I was using this for is myself and not actually making product with it, It would be all I need.

I you are a Garage welder want to mae some things for yourself and close friends, It is all you'll need!!!!!
