AHP Alpha Tig-200x Review

What I Wanted

Before I even thought about purchasing a tig welder, I did extensive research. Sure, I could have just bought the cheapest one available, but I had some specific wants and needs in mind. I will list a few of the most important ones to myself below.

- Must Be A/C & DC compliant

- Have an array of manual adjustments

- Excellent customer support

- Needs to stand by their warranty

- Great Reviews from other experienced welders

- Tig Welder to my needs under $1,000

- Work Great with Automotive Repair

- Hoping it would look nice :)

- The NEW inverter technology

- Pulse Technology

- High Frequency 200mhz

The Competition

The big names in the industry are Miller & Lincoln. There really is no disputing it. They are quality, and will definitely last. The question is, "Can you afford it"? Budgets are always tight, and we tend to scrap by sometimes. I've been there a hundred times. If you're anything like me, you think, if I don't buy a Miller Dynasty, or a Lincoln Electric, will I be able to even put down a decent steel/aluminum bead?! Will it even come close to the quality of a Millier Dynasty 210, or even a Lincoln Electric Square Wave Tig 200?

The Pros & Cons

You hear pros and cons for just about any product out there. What I know from my personal experience with the AHP Alpha Tig-200x is the foot pedal slides, and doesn't have the transition the other pedals have. Other then that, I honestly can't say anything else. It's an amazing machine that lived up to all my expectations. Even the price is a steal of a deal in my opinion. Welding with it is extremely fun. The quality of beads you can lay down are right there with Miller and Lincoln, it just comes down to the experience of the welder.
