Have used one of the ebay £25 one's for 3 years now with no problems, that is hobby use.

If I was welding on a regular/daily basis I would buy something up market simply for the build quality and comfort.

I also use a cheap eBay solar powered one and have had it for approx 5 years not used constant but has held up very well, if I welded constant I would have air fed helmet but this is plenty good enough for how much I use it

Something like this, although no good for professional use is similar to mine and it has been exceptional for the cost,

I have been using that mask for about 2 years now and it still does the job. It probably gets used about twice a week max so not a hell of a lot. If I was welding everyday I would defiantly get a branded one.

those i like due to the plastic protective part that can be removed and replaced

just got to decide which one to get now vs the jobs i may do to the price of helmet
