What we like
Just as there are pros and cons, there are also some added advantages that we like and believe deserve a mentions. These include: –
- This welder can be used for gas less flux coed welding for deeper penetration of thick steel. It can also be applied as gas shielded MIG welding on thin gauge steel or aluminum.
- It has an easy to understand chard inside the unit which provides easy instructions on how the machine should be configured. In addition, there is a quick reference chart with the various machine settings for different metal thicknesses.
- An excellent choice for first time welders as it is so easy to use.
What we don’t like
There are certain attributes of the product that do not sit well with us. These are: –
- The fan makes a high pitched whining sound which can become annoying after a short period of time.
- Feeding of the wire is not always constant, meaning that you may not get a good looking weld.
- The control board has a few issues that come up from time to time.
Customer Reviews
The customer reviews for this welder were mixed in regards to likeability, although they do lean heavily on the positive side. It seems that there are several small problems to contend with over time with this product, though on the whole, these problems do not affect the total output.
There are issues with customer car and service from the manufacturer, meaning that things tale a little longer than normal to get resolved.

As it can operated from a standard household power source, it is more likely to be found at homes being used domestically, than it is to be found commercially.
