I, personally, have never heard of Telwin. Get a Lincoln or Miller. Remember; when buying ANY welding equipment, you get what you pay for. You pay cheap, you get cheap. Simple as that.

Btw, I would like to welcome you to the site! You will find this site a great source of information.

Hello, Although I have not used a Telwin Mig, I have used a Telwin Inverter Arc welder for a year and a half, and love it. It's a portable "handbag" sized welder and totally suits my needs. Never had a problem with it. (Touch wood)

Telwin may not be very common in the USA, but more common in Europe as I believe it is an Italian company but I am sure it all gets made in China- (doesn't everything??)

a Telwin Mig may or may not suit your needs, probably depends (like anything) on what you will use it for and how much you will use it.

Generally I´m willing to agree with
