I've had a gas cutting rig and arc welders in my home garage for decades and use them safely - have not come close to setting anything on fire yet. Eastwood is a good company for many things. However, I purchased a plasma cutter from them and did not like it. I sent it back and purchased a Miller, which I love using. I have a Miller mig welder and have had no issues with it. I say if you have a need or want for a piece of equipment that will make what you do more enjoyable or easier, then go for it! I'd go with Miller, Lincoln or Hobart.
