A New Inverter from the Red Company?

I haven't seen this at Home Depot before, and wondered if they are trying to replace the old bread box soon with a lower production cost unit?

I think it's just a lower-cost AC225 with a slightly lower duty cycle. Weighs around 85 pounds. It's been around awhile. One manual says May 2006 on the cover.

When I first saw it, I thought maybe it was an inverter (thus the thread title), but then I noticed it was only an AC machine.

Lincoln used to make a couple different AC-180 models way back when.
