It was holding me back so I got a 252 Fabricator to supplement it. It's a awesome welder but it's overkill for most of the stuff I do and takes more effort to set up, 220 volt cord etcetera. With the belief that a more modern 120V welder would increase my production I purchased a Everlast 140E. The Fabricator was the first Inverter MIG I Had ever used ;and as I have stated before, it makes a all transformer welder seem like it's broken, The arc is more stable , it starts the arc faster ,the arc is clearer etcetera. The Fabricator is marketed as having (Power Factor Correction) while the 140E does not but the 140E is also much superior to my Century welder. The 140E is touted as having a 135 max output. And how do they do this with a 120V welder you may ask? It needs a 30amp High Magnetic breaker. I knew this before hand and it's also somewhat misleading. Most household outlets only go up to 20 amps so you will need special wiring anyways. The wire drive assembly looks good and sturdy but the rest of the welder is not really robustly built. Neither is my Fabricator for that mater and it cost 3 times as much when I bought it. The build quality is okay and should be good enough for home use. The front panel only fits one side correctly and the other overlaps the case. Why they didn't design the front cover right is beyond me. The minimal wire speed is 80imp and not the 60 the sales brochure states.I wanted a slow wire speed capacity because it works better with flux core. I contacted the sales people there about this and ,well they did not know what they were talking about but it seems to be slow enough for my use. I modified my century to do 40ipm but the inverter design works better at faster wire speeds. Everlasts use a Euro Connect MIG gun which is easy to replace and use. I wish all welders used this type of gun. The Everlast gun is on the cheap side and it only ships with a very short ground cable, like 4 feet.
I purchased a longer one for it.I have bought replacement 'Welder Direct' Guns and they are a little better than the supplied Everlast but are still on the cheap side. I have had good service from them so far. The Everlast ships with the cheap floating ball regulator but I have never had a problem with them. As far as the beads possible to lay down ,the 140E is much like the Fabricator and will hold a stable arc at lower voltages than a all transformer welder so this allows you to be able to arc at a lower setting where a transformer welder won't arc at all. The wire roll holder works good with the 4" inch rolls and does not need a adapter which is a big plus. The 140E's wire speed is also much more consistent than my Century. The 140E's fan is not really loud so that is nice as well. It continuously runs. I only like the simple 'E' series of Everlast MIGs. Their upper range models don't have options that they really should have like adjustable pre and post settings on the shielding gas.Harbor Freights Valcan brand flux core mig nozzles fit Everlast by the way. So initially anyways, it looks like I will be getting more work done as desired.
With my all transformer welder, if you use too high of a voltage the weld bead gets very porous and this is a known issues with other welders as well. 
About 3 years old but has a 5 year warranty. Made a arcing/popping sound a few times and then had a fireworks display inside the case. Smelled like a ozone machine afterwards. I have it boxed up and ready to ship.
