I have not one bad word or complaint about the machine. It is flat out awesome. And as far as duty cycle goes on the high end you will kill a torch before you trip the machine. Im 100% pleased with it.
Thanks for clearing that up... and letting us know.....

I can't seem to open the spec sheet. I bet that the high end has very little duty cycle. Depending what you plan on welding you may easily run out of machine especially on aluminum.
Anyone know the duty cycle at the top end?
These ratings are for 230vac input.
DC TIG: 210A @ 20%, 150A @ 40%, 125A @ 60% and 95A @ 100%
AC TIG: 184A @ 20%, 138A @ 40%, 114A @ 60% and 90A @ 100%
It looks like it will stick weld at 150A max with a 20% duty cycle and the max input power for any process is DC TIG with 23.6amps.
The funny thing is that while it won't go as high on the DC tig output my maxstar 150sth has a higher duty cycle with 100A @ 100%. Of course it doesn't do AC at all. But you are pretty limited with 184A max output on AC TIG.
