I have the $350 Arccaptain MIG200 Multi Process welder and it is amazing for the price. I started with the $62 Seesii 135A 110V MIG/TIG/stick welder from Amazon and amazingly it works OK for up to 1/4" thick steel and stainless steel! Preheat thicker steel to reduce the chance of porocity with .030 wire. .035 wire creates more heat and the weld puddle stays molten longer so it isn't as prone to porocity since any bubbles have more time to escape before the puddle solidifies.

I just bought one, I hope it works OK. I used to have a really nice Hobart years ago but had to sell it when I moved.
I'm just looking for "farm quality" welds -- sticking 2 pieces of metal together.

Just got the $62 seesii the other day. Did you go to welding school? Just wanted to learn as a hobbyist and was just gonna look for scrap metal to start. Any advice on YouTube tutorials or anything is appreciated!

I don't have this version. but theyre lesser model 135-pro multi process. I paid like 100 bucks for it. its worked for a year. the only thing ive had to replace was the welding Helmet. I just keep it in the truck for small repairs. ive only used flux and stick with it. im assuming this one would be better

I never welded until about 4 weeks ago when I got the Seesii welder. 1 week ago I got the Arccaptain MIG200 with a TIG torch & aluminum spool gun. I wanted to start welding around 8 weeks ago so I watched hundreds of welding videos for a month and asked a lot of questions regarding all the common mistakes that new people make so I didn't make them, and all that knowledge helped me be a competent welder from the start rather than making tons of mistakes by going into it blind. If I do make a mistake or a weld looks wrong, I also already know how to fix it quickly with different settings or different movement technique which is something new people can't do if they jump in without researching it first. After about 3 weeks I could consistently make nice smooth beads and filets on thin car sheet metal as well as 1/4" mild steel plates so that's why I upgraded to the MIG200 because I wanted to be able to weld aluminum as well as thicker than 1/4" steel without being limited to just thinner steel. I like TIG welding a lot more than flux core MIG now because it doesn't create smoke/fumes/spatter so I can TIG weld indoors without having to lay down an 8ft by 8ft fiberglass blanket to catch tons of molten spatter which is a fire hazard, and TIG welds looks a lot neater and more finished so I don't have to spend time grinding the welds afterwords like I do with flux core MIG. TIG is harder to get consistently nice looking beads than flux core MIG but it isn't super difficult, it just takes more practice. I drove around to 4 local machine shops asking for scrap mild steel bits the were throwing out for me to practice welding with but they all said no, so I changed strategy and went to a bunch of grocery store loading docks as well as Wallgreens and Dollar Stores asking for any random metal they were throwing out (broken shelves, displays, etc) and they had enough bits of both sheet metal and thicker metal pieces for me to practice with for me to go through the entire $25 3-pack of 2lb spools of YesWelder .030 E71T-11 wire plus the original 2lb spool of E71T-GS that the Seeii welder came with. I just got my delivery of a 10lb spool each of $39.99 YesWelder .030" E71T-11 and .035" E71T-11 from Amazon 2 days ago which don't fit in the Seesii welder but they do fit in the Arccaptain MIG200. General concensus is BlueDevil is the best flux core wire you can get with lowest spatter and smoothest flowing welds but it costs 2.5x more than YesWelder wire but based on my welds vs what I see others do on YouTube with Blue Devil wire my YesWelder wire doesn't spatter significantly more and it seems to make nearly as smooth welds so for now I'll stick to paying $39.99 per 10lb spool vs $99.99 per spool for Blue Devil, but I am curious to try that out some day to see for myself.

I have the HF Start TIG/Stick welder from this company and its really solid for the price. I've done a decent amount of aluminum, stainless and regular truck body steel. Great for hobbyist. Really tempted to get this as well.

Their welding helmets are terrible, get flashed when doing AC TIG. Luckily their customer service just refunded me and I kept it as a backup. Just got a harbor freight helmet and its all happy welding.

Back in 2020 I bought a similar model Yeswelder. I think it has a higher amp rating, and it's painted blue, but is mostly the same setup.

In short, the machine has been fantastic. I've used it on maybe a dozen projects and recently finished off my first 11 lb spool of MIG wire. It's an inverted based welder, that works a little differently than a transformer based machine. I've been welding a long time with a wide variety of machines, and won't hesitate to recommend this one.

A few years ago I made a video as part of a lear-to-weld youth activity. It's not a review, but maybe you find something useful.

As general advice goes for setting up a welder, here's what I have.

Do what you need to run 220 volts to your welder. It's not impossible to weld on a 110 circuit, but it can be a drag. Even if it isn't a full 50 amp 220 circuit, 20 amps is fine for a machine this size.
Spending the money on a bottle of C25 shielding gas to do proper MIG welding is a must. There's a place for flux core, I guess, but it's awful in most applications.
The Yeswelder full color auto darkening helmets are great. Make sure the helmet darkens, though, as dead batteries make for unwanted flash.
Listen to what your welder is telling you. It should sound like bacon in a frying pan.
Get some consumables and be ready to use them.
Don't weld in synthetic clothing.
Be careful welding anything plaited or painted, assuming of course you like to breathe. Galvanized steel is especially hazardous to you when you burn it off. A respirator is well worth the investment.
Wear ear plugs when welding under a vehicle or in odd positions where you tilt your head. It's not for the noise.
