I have a Miller elite flame hood. I am a welder by trade and weld 10 to 12 hours a day 5 days a week. When i'm not using it at work I weld for my dad in his machine shop on the weekends. I've had the hood for over a year now and have had zero trouble with it. I think it's bar none the best investment i've made as far as welding equipment. I would recomend it to anyone.
