What size have you got? I’m looking at a 250 amp, the 350 is nearly double the price but has a stick welding facility as well I can’t really justify the extra cost,
I've got the 250a and love it for being light to throw in van drag around etc. I was thinking the same as you but when I phoned and talked to phil about what I wanted what I was using it for etc, I already have an parweld inverter for stick so as he said just keep things simple. I do have a 350a 3 phase in the workshop but its rare I'm doing anything too thick and 250a is more than enough for what I need. I'd seen all kinds a good reviews for the warrior and looked at specs and prices off allsorts but it was the 10mins on the phone chatting with Phil that sold it to me.

I've got a 300. Bought it 2017 for £945. I've got the Oxford and a little GYS for stick welding. Also got a big 250 Oxford which I rarely use these days.

Is the warrior Chinese made? Any concerns with them regarding reliability and quality of components etc? Would you be better buying from a big name brand like kemppi, fronius, ewm etc?
Don’t know where components are made but they’re assembled near bath I’ve spoken with the owner about a welder and they have great backup if a welder is returned there for service they warrant it for a year, a friend of mine who builds sheds day in day out bought a kemmpi thinking it was the rolls Royce of welders and the backup was shocking and he didn’t keep it long
