I bought it yesterday, and it's my first automatic mask, I haven't worked with others to have a more objective opinion, BUT what I noticed is that it doesn't have instant darkening. It takes almost half a second to darken, which if you want it for professional use, it will simply tire you out unless you close your eyes and open them after it has darkened. I have checked all this with the lens at home, not with actual welding. I hope with actual welding it will change and have immediate darkening. I can't wait to go to work to see it in normal circumstances and give a more comprehensive opinion.
As for the negatives, it doesn't have an on-off button and it drains the batteries excessively fast, and the shade adjusters are somewhat confusing, it starts from 5/9 and goes up to 12, then goes back down to 7-9. Quite foolish. Couldn't it be in order from 5-13 to finish?
Nice mask appearance-wise, but if it doesn't work properly on Tuesday when we're welding as we should, then it's not worth its money.
I will come back with more when I try it.
Perfect mask and compared to others I have tried (I already have in my arsenal) it is by far a very good choice. I would like to emphasize that the adjustment settings are more than enough and truly functional. It doesn't "sag" after some use.
The truth is that this is my first electronic mask that I have purchased. The use I make of it is personal and not professional. I bought it after a lot of research and reading. Inside the box, there is also an eight-page booklet with low-quality images and small letters. Personally, because I couldn't find instructions online, I scanned and enlarged this particular booklet (a funny stinginess of the importer), but luckily it is in Greek. I don't have experience from long hours of use, but from the little I have used it, I am truly impressed. A huge advantage is not having to constantly have one hand occupied with the mask and being able to see the electrode and the welding point until the last moment. It adjusts well on the head and has a wide range of visibility. One can adjust it exactly as they want, there is no problem that I read in reviews of other masks, the 3-4 second delay in restoring visibility after the flash. The side plastic windows are green and do not change during the flash, nor do they bother, even slightly. On the contrary, they help to have better peripheral vision. I believe that in any case, it is worth giving a little more money to get it because besides making the job much more comfortable, it will perfectly protect the eyes and face. If I have anything to add, I will come back.
It looks very good, the "master" approved it (I bought it for amateur use, I haven't worked with it hard), I liked the fact that you can adjust everything as you want, straps, glass, up and down, you need to pay attention to these things at the beginning
