At what rating should a player begin to use engines like stockfish or houdini?

In your opinion............I personally believe engines should be employed once a player reaches 1400 or so.

It can help you at a 500 rating and hurt you at a 2800 rating. As long as you use it well your rating doesn't really matter.

IMO.

it depends on how you use it. Understanding the moves is better than playing the moves.
