Output amp range	20–230 A on the product page. Source	Max rated output: MIG 285 A, TIG 250 A, stick 250 A. The duty table prints MIG 285 A on 240 V and 120 A on 120 V, and stick and TIG 250 A on 240 V and 120 A on 120 V. Source
Rated duty cycle	120 V: 110 A at 19.5 VDC, 60% duty cycle. 240 V: 160 A at 22.0 VDC, 60% duty cycle, and 215 A at 24.8 VDC, 30% duty cycle. Source	MIG: 30% at 285 A on 240 V and 30% at 120 A on 120 V. Stick: 30% at 250 A on 240 V and 30% at 120 A on 120 V. TIG: 30% at 250 A on 240 V and 30% at 120 A on 120 V. Source
Input voltage and plug	120 or 240 V, single-phase, 50/60 Hz. MVP plugs for 120 V and 240 V are included. Input amperes are not in the quick specs. Source	1-phase, 120 V/240 V. Max inrush (I1max), columns MIG / stick / TIG: 120 V 34.2 / 42.5 / 25.3 A, and 240 V 57.4 / 53.5 / 35.7 A. Max rated (I1eff): 120 V 18.7 / 23.3 / 13.9 A, and 240 V 27.4 / 29.3 / 19.6 A. Source
Wire or rod size	The features page says the machine is used with .024–.035 in. (0.6–0.9 mm) solid wire and .030–.045 in. (0.8–1.2 mm) flux-cored wire. The included drive roll is grooved for .024 in. or .030/.035 in. solid and .030/.035 in. flux-cored. Source	Not published by manufacturer Source
Weight	35 lb. Source	The page says “weighing under 60 lbs.” It does not print a single net-weight number. Source
Material thickness	120 V: 24 ga.–3/16 in. steel and 18 ga.–1/8 in. aluminum. 240 V: 24 ga.–3/8 in. steel and 18 ga.–3/8 in. aluminum. Stick and TIG thickness are not printed in that block. Source	The overview says the 285 A output can weld materials up to 5/8 inch thick. Source
