What I don’t like:
It was quite hard to find a single valid con about it, but somehow, after deep research, I get to know that its sensors are quite sensitive to sunlight. Long term exposure to sun rays may damage its sensors.
Let me tell you if you exposed anything in sunlight for a long period of time, sunlight will ultimately reduce the life span of that particular item
So that’s not at all a big con to worry about. You have to take care of your welding helmet and avoid keeping it in sunlight.
