I bought an SSC controls foot pedal to use with the 160STH.

When the pedal is plugged in, the digital display oscillates back and forth between 11 and 12, regardless of what amperage I set on the machine.

I called tech support and was told this is a known quirk (I prefer "defect") when using a foot pedal with this machine. I was told it won't affect my welds. And to unplug the pedal if I want to see the amperage setting.

And while it welds fine, pedal works as intended, I don't consider this missing functionality acceptable.

I plan on returning this machine to Home Depot. And since I have a $160 foot pedal that only works with Everlast machines, I intend to roll the Home Depot credit into an i-TIG 201.

I'm wondering if this is status quo with Everlast? Something's wrong with your machine, you are politely told "deal with it"?

Certainly doesn't make me want to buy another machine with the Everlast name on it.
