Stick welder under $800.00 ?

Looks like it is 35lbs.
with my back, I would like a machine to be under
25 lbs.
I also want a unit that comes with leads, a work clamp and stinger that are appropriate for the maximum amps of the machine.
How does this compare to a Miller Thunderbolt
210 dc stick welder ?
Thanks
 
It comes with a stinger and ground clamp.

Klutch ST201iDV Dual Voltage DC Arc Welder with TIG Function — Inverter, 120V/230V, 10–200 Amp Output​



Lightweight inverter welder. 389.00
I’ve had mine over 4 years now and I just love this little welder. It has great penetration and I think it has a 3 year warranty. And if you have a problem, just bring it back to the Northern tool store. But I haven’t had one iota of trouble and just love the way this welder performs.
 
I have a Thermal Arc 160 that I have had for several years now. It's paid for itself several times over. I've never tried to run 5/32 rods but runs 1/8 great. I believe it could though because my welder runs hotter than what knob says.

When this one quits I plan to buy another.
 
There are lots of buss boxes both new and used
recommend getting one that has AC and DC output

Yep...totally agree and I then realized that the welder I posted is only DC. I actually have an earlier model which is Ac-DC. Mine wasn’t geared towards the TIg function and I noticed that the model I posted is more of a Tig welder with the foot pedal.
Anyway.... Klutch is a weird brand....almost like a test model for some other brands. The Klutch welders are always changing in my opinion.
 
HTP Inverarc 200TLP. Yes I know, way over budget, but if you could use this machine in-person, I think you would be easily convinced. It is a BEAST for cellulose electrodes. Not made in China garbage. 1st rate Italian engineering.
