I weld a good bit for stuff which has to stay together. If it's not Miller, Lincoln or comparable (if there is comparable) I'm not wasting my money on it. I've seen lots of "inexpensive" welders which either don't work long or have no parts/service. I look at these low priced things all the time seeking one which is modestly priced but still works. Haven't found that yet.
If you want TiG, budget about 3 grand for a start. You need a foot control high frequency welder, a GOOD gun, a dedicated grinder with a wheel used only for sharpening the
TiG tips and a work area clean of contaminants.
Now, MIG isn't nearly that demanding, but you still need grinders, cutting tools, aprons, GOOD helmet(s), gloves, etc.
110V welders are good for sheet medal and that's about it as they're limited to maybe 110-120 amps. You must have 220V and preferably 50 amp service if you're going to weld much. Otherwise you're better off finding a good welding shop near you and having them do it right. I still use a welding shop for heavy work or aluminum.
As an analogy, I have two lathes, two mills and two drill presses in my shop. But I still use a "real" machine shop for heavy work.
Welding can be fun and you can learn to do it well. But it's not entirely trivial and you will have to spend quite a bit more that $350 to even begin to do it poorly not to mention well.

Please people, don't listen to this advice. This is not the 1980's where the market of welders was much smaller and the cheap Chinese welders were junk. 99% of hobbyist welders are not welding professional racing turbos and don't need a minimum of a "3k setup" to weld in their garage. Hell, the Harbor Freight Vulcan welders are rated exceptionally high for what they can do for a fraction of the price compared to the other big name companies. Not everyone needs to dump multi-thousands into a top of the line professional setup to weld a go-cart together in their garage.
The main reason is the better option and settings on the "pro" and less about the additional aluminum welding.
Asssuming I will never use the 110v function what do you guys think?

I cant seem to find reviews from someone that actually purchase those welders.
All reviews start with the saying that YesWelder send them the machine for review...
(well, I'd jump on it now, if I didn't expect to kill/maim myself w/ this)
Also, all kidding aside, while videos are not the best way to learn a manual skill, getting a little practical experience at a class, then using videos and practice to improve is a very viable path, even more so if you just want to be able to build and repair things (As opposed to pursuing welding certifications).
Lastly, its electricity, DC in this case. That doesn't mean you should underestimate it, but as long as you understand how current moves through materials, and the basic concepts of polarity, you'll be fine with due caution.
Edit: I reloaded the page and it re-sent this comment, whoops.
Hood is interesting, almost copped one but decided to save the $82 because when it comes down to it, as interesting as the color correction feature is, I will never trust my eyes more to an $82 knock-off over an 3M Speedglas.
I wish they had the Bernard gun with the 15' whip available as an accessory, that would have been pretty sweet. That said probably don't need to spend $160 on a $450 welder. Trying to find the appropriate MIG tip accessory pack for the factory gun should have been easier.
Stick... not a functionality i really care about. Nice to use building fences and you don't want to drag a bottle around, that's about the only time i've ever used it for at home, when there's a MIG around you tend to use it. The scratch start DC TIG... I'll use my AC TIG machine with HF start. I think I read something that you could modify these machines to be HF start tig which would be cool for beginners.
Can't complain for the price, will report back after I have it set up and buzz through some stuff. I think its a good package for a beginner for sure, esp with the hood. Harbor Freight didn't keep their prices low for very long once they started making adjustable welders to the point I'd rather buy Everlast over HF. I'm sure once they get enough market share YES will increase prices as well.
The power cord situation on the small one is pretty dangerous. Hopefully they switched to a 6-50P plug instead of the 6-15P.
I do feel like I'm the first/only person to spend actual money on the brand
Funny because I ordered from Yes and it arrived in a Amazon prime box..heheheh
I am a novice, never welded. I want to be able to make my own tractor implements, metal, steel, aluminum welds. I am an engineer and good with fixing mechanical, electrical, and fabricating wood.
From what I have read I think MIG is the best welder for me. Can someone recommend a welder for me, cost is not a concern, quality, durability is. This welder or something else? Thanks!!!
While I can't share the same sentiment as the older gentleman who has done this professionally since high school, I do respect his opinion. For work, I have a shop I share a Miller and Fronius with the MEs. However I work mostly from my garage with a Chinese DC / AC inverter. Work also paid for another Chinese one in case my personal unit goes down, it has not, so the spare is in a big old box in the corner for the last couple years. What I'm saying is if you frequent the Miller forums and do not have 3-6 thousand for a setup to start, you will be completely discouraged from trying, with all that negativity and toxic comments on any machine that's not blue with a white logo. Do I weld for a living? No, but I've cut and etched and seen my penetrations using my Chinese POS those guys call it, and you know what? It works just as good as when I used the Miller at the shop. Did I have formal training? No, just wanted to stick metal together so I practice and practice and read and YouTube a lot.
I chose tig because it was the hardest one with the biggest learning curve. I've never picked up a FCAW or MIG gun in my entire tenure.
While I've seen this particular machine, I do not recommend it. I use the AlphaTig 201XD running amperage below 150a/multiple passes if needed, and the spare unit that hasn't replaced my main welder is the Primeweld 225. Yeah, the Miller and Fronius are nice systems, no doubt. Would you benefit from taking classes? I think that's obvious, I personally didn't.
If cost isn't a concern, going with something with better service and warranty will be your best options, anything Blue or Red…

Ooooookay gonna call bullshit. You'll definitely be able to weld poorly with this unit.

There are a lot of occupational hazards around welding. Fumes are an issue depending on what you're welding, but the bigger issue is material cleaning and prep which usually requires a grinder or flapdisk which put off a ton and of metal dust. Budget a 3M P100 respirator with 2276 discs or, better yet, a full face respirator or Adflo unit. Now you're up to $3K.
FWIW, I know tech has changed but not having option of DC / AC stick welding may be a limitation but in this price-range that's expecting too much I'm sure...
The main reason is the better option and settings on the "pro" and less about the additional aluminum welding.
Assuming I will never use the 110v function what do you guys think?
"Not able to weld aluminum nor is compatible with a spool gun."
The TIG is DC only, so it'll be good for Steel and SS only.
Just some things to consider for people that might be on the fence because of the aluminum thing. This price is pretty great for a multipurpose machine even if it's not a big name brand.
Aluminum stick welding instructional video from a professional welder/community college instructor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_...l=W
To get started, all you need is some flux core wire. (but they will have to chip the slag off every weld... I got tired of this real quick and went to gas)
To gas weld, you need a roll of regular wire. A tank of welding gas (this was expensive because I bought a tank also) and a gas flow meter. (As mentioned above, you definitely need a helmet, gloves and long sleeves to start. I had this stuff.).
I'm not going to use this for a living so I'm happy with this purchase... I've used this for a couple of hours and so far so good!
