Weldpro MIG155GGD 155 Amp Inverter Flux Cored MIG/MIG/Stick/MMA Arc Welder with Dual Voltage 240V/120V welding machine, spool gun capable

This is probably the most feature packed TIG welder you can buy for this price. You absolutely cannot beat this machine for the price, AND it comes with a 2 year warranty!It is solidly put together, nicely and carefully packaged, and comes with everything you need to start welding except for the normal consumables.I like the fact that the fans start running on HIGH as soon as the machine is on. Other inverter machines will wait to turn the fans on once the transistors start pumping heat into their heatsinks. I mean for reliability sake, why wait?? Fans are easier to replace than IGBTs :) This machine does just that and keeps its cool during high amperage output at all times.I've purchased this machine primarily to weld thinner than 3/8" thickness aluminum and stainless steel materials for fabricating components on a track day type car, like exhaust and turbo charge air piping. The adjustable A/C duty cycle (if you want to call it cleaning or EN/EP bias), A/C amperage pulse, and A/C frequency are an absolute dream on aluminum. I've not used a machine that had this level of A/C adjust-ability before, how life went on before adjustable A/C frequency above 60 Hz I don't know... lol. DC works just as well, pulse DC works fantastic for thin material.The level of adjust-ability through all parts of the process from start to finish (this is how the front of the machine is laid out, you know exactly which setting does what during which part of the process, courtesy of LEDs that move around with the arrow buttons) is something that I didn't know I would even appreciate as much until you realize how simple it makes menu navigation.I've not stick welded with it yet as I also use a MIG for most other general projects, but I'm sure it works as intended as it is the power source that is the primary component, which works fantastic.There was a note in the box that said the foot pedal that was supposed to come with the machine (no amperage knob on the pedal) was on back order. They provided a pedal-adjustable amperage knob type pedal with the machine to give me something to be able to use, AND THEN sent me the originally intended pedal in the mail a few weeks later. You want to talk about trouble, worry and hassle free service? This company goes above and beyond for this price, seriously it has been one of the best customer service experiences I've had ordering online to date. Everything so far has exceeded expectations.As mentioned at the start of this post, this unit comes with everything needed to start welding right out of the box except for normal consumables. I would suggest picking up a set of torch gas lenses for cleaner stainless welds if stainless is what you are going to be doing. If you are a somewhat more frequent user of this machine, or are a pro who wants a good all around machine for home use, the ONLY thing you might want to add/change on this package is the length of the work clamp cable and installing a slightly smaller size TIG torch. The torch handle that comes with this unit is rather large, and is hard to hold with a traditional pencil/chopstick type hand position. If you have good gloves and a TIG finger, you will eventually learn to just work with it over time. The sheathing around the torch cables/lines is a decent quality silicone type substance, and the end of the torch has a swivel ball to remove the stress of the cables at the end of the torch body. It honestly is a well built torch for occasional use.So far I've got about 8 hours of run time on this unit, and almost burned through a 300CF bottle of argon. I've laid about 150 feet of 4043 and 5356 aluminum 3/32 rod, and about 30 feet of 308L 3/32 stainless rod, literally just to lay beads and play with the settings to see how certain functions affect weld quality. You will find your sweet spots eventually! Already planning my pie cuts for my exhaust haha.Overall: a great machine, great customer service, one happy customer. Thank you for making such a feature packed machine available to the public at this price!

I did my research before buying this amazing new welder and found that it had all of the features that are now expected of the new Multiprocessor welders but it does it all a little better and gives the operator a lot of choices with no confusion. It is easier to use as the welding parameters are clearly defined and 10% above or below those selections are easy to access. This is true for selection of Volts and induction. This makes MIG welding easy and beautifully done on the first try. All of the accessories MIG gun, ground clamp, TIG gun, Flow meter and Spool gun are of excellent quality. Yes you might quibble because we all have personal preferences but Weldpro has put together a quality package at a rock bottom price. There is no one on the market that offers this quality at this price. I am sure that this price has to go up in the near future so get on it now. I have worked with many of the name welding units over the years Miller, Lincolin etc.... Great machines but really out of my price range. Weldpro lays down a bead that is just as good using mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, using MIG, TIG, Arch, or Spoolgun. I bought this machine because I felt it was time to set up my own shop for fabrication and I wanted an all around welder that could handle many different demands that specialty welding calls for. I also needed dependability at a price that was within my budget. I have had the machine three weeks and it has already paid for itself because I could afford all of the accessories at once. I work it 3 to 4 hours a day and it has never hit its duty cycle. It is the easiest welder I have ever set up. The drive roller is aluminum cast and all metal parts and it is user friendly putting in the spool either 10 inch or the smaller 2 pound spool. The external connectors are the large dinse connectors, easy in just a twist. Additionally choice of Plus or Minus power to the gun is done externally by way of an exterior dongle again using a simple dinse connector. All information is put in through a user friendly menu system with digital display for volts and wire speed or amps depending MIG, TiG, or ARCH function. There is also a built in switch for the Spoolgun when using aluminum. By the way the spoolgun which Weldpro offers is the same gun used by Eastwood welders at 2/3 of the price, nice bargain. One last comment, this welder is also a dual power input using either 110V or 230V, which makes it easy to use anywhere and weighs only about 30 lbs. I could go on and on about this product but check out the specs for yourself and compare. I have and I made my choice Weldpro MIG200GDsv. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have.
