you'd probably have a hard time doing aluminum with that thing since it is only dc.

No idea man. No professional welder is going to use that thing anyway so getting a decent opinion on the product is going to be damn near impossible.

NO, spend the money and get a Lincoln, Miller, ESAB, or Thermal Dynamics.
Parts and consumables are easy to get.
