I'd be tempted to give the HTP 221 a try if you are going to just be welding a few hours a day on the thinner stuff.

All that said, I have a Miller 280 Dynasty without cooler right now and it has way more features than I'll ever use on a daily basis. The price on the 280 has climbed substantially over the past years, to the tune of $1200 more since I purchased. You can get an HTP 221 with water cooler and the works for $3200. The HTP 221 should easily cover the thin materials you plan on welding.





Where can you get a water cooled one for $3200?

Both highly unlikely. How can you possibly want more features than a Dynasty DX?


To spend $3000, I can't get a Dynasty DX. I can get a non-DX for a little more than that.

If there's a Miller dealer on here that wants to sell me a Dynasty 210 DX
For $3000, I'm all over it.

Multi voltage inputs and other features make the DX too expensive.
