Has anyone got any experience with the Longevity Brand Welders and Plasma Cutters.

Of the Chinese Welders and Plasma Cutters the Longevity and the Reiland brands apear to have the best reputations.

Thought I would ask if anyone had any personal experience with the Longevity 200PI.

No experience with those particular brands. Might I suggest a Miller for your stick and TIG welding and plasma cutting? You won't be disappointed and they have great service and repair right here in the states (if you ever need it, which is doubtful).
 
I went through this whole TIG thing last summer.

I bought a Miller Syncrowave 180 TIG welder and tried to learn how to TIG weld. I've been MIG and O/A welding for 35 years. TIG is a whole different animal.

I took an adult education course at the tech school on TIG welding and I became quite proficient. As long as I was doing it every day! If I put the machine aside for a week or two, I had to relearn most everything. My classroom notes became my friend.......

I had someone that wanted to buy the Syncrowave and was going to pay me more than I paid for it. I sold it and bought the just released Miller Diversion 165.

What an amazing machine. So freak'n easy to use. I can run aluminum and SS like a pro. No real learning curve. It even comes with a book "TIG Welding For Dummies"........

I have friends with the Chinese stuff. Terrible. Constant problems. I had to take one apart and resolder everything inside to get it to work right. All of them I've tried I simply can not run a nice bead in Aluminum. I'm not saying a pro couldn't do it. But with my level of expertise, it's a mess.

Spend a bit more and get a Diversion...........You simply can't beat Miller Blue!
