Tig Small

Evaluations on buying welders, (ie) TIG?

Looking for a non biased, kind of like a Consumer Reports / testing on welders (ie) TIG.
I have not seen any, As a small business owner I would like to know what would be the best buy, when I would be spending about $3000.00 for a welder.

I want to weld say 1/4 thick +/- not a lot of bells & whistles.

I have looked at INFO on welders, just about like making a evaluation for buying a truck,car. Which I did use the Consumer Reports in 2000 for my pickup. which I found helpful.

I have not seen non biased reports on welding or machine tools why is that.

Can anyone recommend any reports on the best makes, models etc.
