AI-generated from the text of customer reviews

438 customers mention355 positive83 negative

Customers like the performance of the cutting tools. They mention that it works well under both 110 and 220 voltage, and has no problems with it. The product is excellent and works well for prolonging the tip. The size should not put you off, and it's powerful. Customers also say that the longer power cable worked well.

"...For apparent quality, ease of use, and performance, I could easily give this many more stars - if that were possible...." Read more

"...It WORKS, and works well, In anything under 3/16 inch, if you get the heat and air settings right, there is almost no slag...." Read more

"...I took apart the gun to see how much it ate at the consumables: The cup was fine. The nozzle showed the plasma swirl. The electrode had a small pit...." Read more

"Nice unit. Worked just as predicted...." Read more

316 customers mention226 positive90 negative

Customers like the quality of the cutting tools. They mention that it's a very capable cutter that handles both steel and thick steel. The torch cuts quite well, and the machine works great. It makes it easy to cut steel and aluminum, making it a fantastically easy way to cut.

"...for longevity or durability yet, but I can say that the cutter feels solid and well built, and the cords (ground and power/air/arc power combo) seem..." Read more

"Nice unit. Worked just as predicted. Made it easy to cut the bars to get out of the county jail (just kidding). Do NOT order the recommended..." Read more

"...Once I got it dialed in the cut was very crisp and went very fast. Mind you all this was done on 110v...." Read more

"...Torch/torch cable - this is of a decent usable length, but it is not nearly as stout as what you will find on a commercial grade cutter...." Read more

241 customers mention186 positive55 negative

Customers like the value of the cutting tools. They say it's a great budget little plasma cutter, well worth the difference, and has the right combination of features to price. Some customers are surprised how well it performs for the money.

"...Comes with 2 spare electrodes and nozzles. Consumables are also inexpensive.- A stand-off that actually clamps!..." Read more

"...It just keeps going. MORE than cost effective over a magnetic drill and I still have more uses. Only down side, wish the grounding lead was longer." Read more

"...I would say that this is well worth the money and for my occasional use, should last me the rest of my years ;^)..." Read more

"...The first one I cut was not very good. The cut was beveled horribly and the slag was just brutal on the back side of the cut...." Read more

88 customers mention81 positive7 negative

Customers find the cutting tools easy to set up and use. They mention it's simple to make an adapter, and the instructions with the unit are excellent. The unit goes together in less than 5 minutes, and it connects quickly and easily to the cutter. The controls are easy to use, and there's a digital display for the amp setting. Overall, customers say it makes more projects much easier.

"...me a little bit to get back up to speed, but this Lotos unit really makes it easy. And it works so much better on 220!..." Read more

"...It quickly and easily connects to the cutter, so replacing it if it does cause problems should be quick and easy...." Read more

"...The directions with the unit were excellent - it went together in less than 5 minutes. If you wanted to connect to 220 volts you would get that plug...." Read more

"...The initial setup was ok where multiple clamps were required to eliminate air leaks...." Read more

52 customers mention52 positive0 negative

Customers like the portability of the cutting tools. They say it's very light to carry, compact, and easy to move around. Customers also say the cuts are clean, narrow, and fast, and the slag under the cut is easy to nock off or grind off.

"...- Small. It'll fit on a small welding cart (like the Lincoln Buzzboxes fit on)...." Read more

"...When I initially unboxed the unit I was surprised at how small and compact it is...." Read more

33 customers mention28 positive5 negative

Customers like the documentation provided with the cutting tools. They mention that it has very good tech support, and wonderful product support. Customers also appreciate the little guide included with the product, which makes their projects a lot more form.

"...Also, there is a little guide included, that you install on the gun, that holds the tip at the proper distance from the work, and preventing..." Read more

"...Boy was I impressed! I had never used one before but the videos were really helpful and informative. Set up was super easy...." Read more

Excellent plasma cutter - especially for the price!
5 Stars
Excellent plasma cutter - especially for the price!
I have included a few pictures of my first cutting project with my new Lotos LTP5000D that I got yesterday evening. I am making a type of hanger that goes outside by the front door. It will be a half circle with a circular image hanging in the middle of it. I had to use a plate from the kitchen to go around with the cutter - it was unbelievably easy! The half circle I had to do by hand - and had to clean it up with the grinder...but I expected that. Next I'll cut out the design that goes in the circular part, and then hang it within the half circle, weld a mounting plate to the half circle, and probably hang it outside. I am using 1/8" flat plate steel.I have a rather large, older plasma cutter I picked up at Harbor Freight many years ago. I tried to use it about 6 months ago and it's not working. I am getting back into metal work in the garage and wanted to get a new, portable plasma cutter. 3 days ago, I went to the 2 big box stores (L. & H.D.) and was disappointed to find that they don't even carry them in the store. I'm glad now that they don't.When I got back home, I went online and started reading info and reviews on diff. machines. Initially I looked at a couple in the $150-180 range on Amazon, but decided to spend more and get a much better one. I didn't know what pilot arc was but I ended up buying the Lotos LTP5000D...and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!My 220 in my garage I and a friend put in many years ago when I got my first plasma cutter. However, the 220 plug on the Lotos is the 3-prong circular pattern plug, which doesn't match my existing outlet. I looked at different ways to make it work, and eventually decided on this: I bought an adapter that has the circular female side and the male side is the two vertical blades (one wider than the other) and the round piece. I also ordered a matching 3-prong outlet, which I wired in place of the existing 220 outlet. It was simple...the two 110 hot wires to the two blades, and the ground (green) to the round one. I did have to go to Lowes this am to get a mounting box to install it. Found one cheap, got it installed, and started cutting metal. Yesterday, I had used the circular plug with the 220 to 110 pigtail and it worked fine...the first time with low amps because I was cutting out the bottom of an old coffee can to make a shroud for a small fan. Problem after that was that I popped the power strip when I was using higher amps and my compressor kicked on. I then plugged the plasma cutter into a different outlet, but twice when the compressor started while cutting, the whole garage power went out. That's when I knew for sure I needed to get my 220 line working, since it's a dedicated line that doesn't affect any other power in the house.Since it's been many many years since I've actually used a plasma cutter, it is taking me a little bit to get back up to speed, but this Lotos unit really makes it easy. And it works so much better on 220! I was nervous that my compressor would have a hard time keeping up, but to my surprise and pleasure, I've found that even running at 42 amps with the psi set around 55-60, when the compressor does kick on, it still is at about 90 in the tank, and only runs for about less than a minute. I'm so glad - don't want to buy a different compressor! Also, that pilot arc is awesome! I can see it really saving me on consumables - with my old plasma cutter, I had to get the torch down to touching the metal, which created a lot of blowback. With this one, I can start the arc much higher and work it in. Also, with the power of this machine, I can start the tip right on the metal and punch through the metal instantly...without the blowback on me or on the torch tip. This will definitely save money by making the tips and the electrodes last longer.So I'd say that after spending $335 on the cutter and about $70 on the pigtail and set of consumables, coming in around $443 for everything, and getting my cutter about 48 hours after ordering it, I am extremely pleased with the purchase. I can't speak for longevity or durability yet, but I can say that the cutter feels solid and well built, and the cords (ground and power/air/arc power combo) seem very durable and capable.For apparent quality, ease of use, and performance, I could easily give this many more stars - if that were possible. I can't say enough about the looks, the feel, and the performance so far with this machine. I've learned the hard way that products can start out amazing and then develop problems, so I can't speak for longevity as yet. But in the short (1 day) time I've been using it, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase, and would highly recommend the Lotos LTP5000D to anyone just starting plasma cutting, needing to switch/upgrade from a current machine, or simply needing a second plasma cutter around the shop or in the truck (this thing is LIGHT - compared to my MIG welder, and especially compared to my stick welder!!!oh...and I can't speak for customer service since I haven't had to contact them - and hope I never do.Get this plasma cutter!!! If it runs as good and easily as mine has so far, you won't regret it!!

But in the short (1 day) time I've been using it, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase, and would highly recommend the Lotos LTP5000D to anyone just starting plasma cutting, needing to switch/upgrade from a current machine, or simply needing a second plasma cutter around the shop or in the truck (this thing is LIGHT - compared to my MIG welder, and especially compared to my stick welder!!!

oh...and I can't speak for customer service since I haven't had to contact them - and hope I never do.

Get this plasma cutter!!! If it runs as good and easily as mine has so far, you won't regret it!!

My hand is not that steady but it cut nice and clean thru 10mm steel like butter. I was worried it wasn't the cnc version because the photos don't show the connectors but the seller assured me it was and now it has been delivered I can verify it definately is the cnc version. The photos show the brown version but as per the description it is the red one. Very happy with this purchase 😁
It comes with a 240v 15amp 3 pin Aussie plug and I ran it at full 55amps on a 'modified' 10amp socket and 20amp breaker, no problems.
