I have had one of their AC/DC TIGs for couple of years. Looks like they have upgraded the display, much nicer looking. I have never worried about the fan being on with mine, although I only TIG with it never tried stick. Been a good little machine. Though the #9 flex head does get hot running it at 150A. Which is probably the limit for a non water cooled head that size.
I have a TokenTools multi-function for MIG and Stick. Find I hardly use MIG or stick though. I find it hard to find the sweet spot for MIG so tend to just grab the TIG. Plus its so much cleaner.

A bit late, but I had the same issue with an easement. I have storage shed which sits behind the big shed on an easement. I built a wooden frame from 90mm treated pine, screwed the shed down to it and used structa floor inside, floor never gets wet. If welding in there I'd use cement sheeting. I leveled it with some small pavers to keep the pine off the ground. Use it for all the excess rarely used crap, like parts washers, engine crane, etc

I had looked into doing it that way using steel floor framing, but the shed is 5x3m and came with the 6 main posts designed to be concreted 60cm into the ground. I ended up putting a retaining wall in on the low end to level out the area (up 45cm high) using small 1.5m concrete sleepers. Luckily I didn't come across the main stormwater or sewerage pipes digging the many post holes . I then put in more retaining wall at the low ended to form a ramp as that end has a large sliding door. I concreted a border around the base of the shed walls about 20cm wide, so that has formed solid base around the perimeter.
Quite few tons of road base later (in the last two weeks) and I'm now looking at how I'm going to compact it. (Given the depth I know it should have been done in layers.) Hiring a compacter is pricey and then there's actually transporting it (60kg + in weight to load / unload.) I don't know the neighbours well enough to persuade them to help with the lifting.
PS: Ironically, a couple of months after I'd done the shed SA Water arrived and knocked on the door saying they wanted to do maintenance on the under ground pipes. (The first time in 20 plus years we've lived here.) I had come across the large steel manhole cover soon after we bought the place- it was buried under about 20cm of soil. I orientated the shed to avoid it, but it's close to it. Once I told them it was buried they lost interest but did say it should have a collar fitted to raise it.
