I have the Miller Passport- it runs on 120v & 240v with no re-wiring. An aluminum spool gun plugs right in and it's got a 20 oz. internal bottle and is in a suitcase- totally portable.Don't know of a combo plasma-mig-tig unit? Good luck with your search as a welder carries a personality just like the buggies we own!

Question

Why would you want two machines in one?
If one craps out or gives you issues your down two machines .
