The only thing I don't like about mine is the mig gun stinger itself; I find it flimsy and low quality. I welded in the trade for years and I'm use to just better quality. I did some looking and there are really no aftermarket options like with a Miller and Lincoln. Other than that, it's a great machine.
I just opened and finally tried it. It's a big improvement over my Hobart Handler 210 although the Hobart was a good starter machine. LOVE IT so far. Looking forward to doing more with it.

We have 11 of them in our body shops for close to 3 years now. Only one failure on one of them and it wasn't the actual solenoid it was the switch in the torch. We use these every day . Multiple times a day. We use them for cusi silicon bronze also and the spool gun for aluminum. Our guys love these machines . We have a few big Lincolns and millers that just sit in the corner now .
Ive had my omnipro 220 for 3.5 years now. Ive gone through multiple bottes of c25, and 20lb rolls of 70-6 and ive had absolutely zero issues with the machine. Ive stick welded many times with it as well. My buddy borrowed it to run stainless on, and he loved it so much he went and bought one for himself. Highest quality machine on the market for the value in my opinion.
