Phenomenal! From striking up the first rod to the last on a day- consistent and quality welds. Very happy with this product.
Wonderful problem solver! Comes with the 110 cord for your garage no 220 required.Ive owned this for over a year. No issues, light weight. Remember, its a plastic shell while you weld.
For the money, you can't beat this brand! I sell welding supplies and industrial gas. I like to offer cost-efficient options for my customers among all my hard goods. Over the years, I've brought in a dozen different economy welding machine brands, but never have I received as much satisfied feedback as I do with this brand. In the first week I introduced them, a customer bought one. The next day, when he returned, I thought, 'Oh no, here we go again,' fearing it would be returned. Instead, he raved about it and bought a second one! Needless to say, I've been stocking Yes Welder machines for around two years now, and I haven't had a single return or repair. The ARC-205 sells like hotcakes; I buy 24 at a time because they just fly off my shelves. The 250/205 MIG also receives great reviews from customers, and the MIG/TIG torches aren't half bad either!
I have been a certified welder for 37 years. This little machine is nice. Well burn a 1/8 7018 on 110v. I highly recommend.
Have an older transformer Miller Thunderbolt. Got tired of hauling it around. Saw a review by Project Farm on YouTube and it rated fairly well. I'm sure most of these low cost models work about the same, but make sure it has safety interlocks. Already have a Lincoln MIG, needed a smaller stick welder. I can see problems with this falling off the welding table as you move the heavy cables. It has a carry handle, maybe strap it to the wall so you don't pull it off the table. I burned a half dozen rods testing it out. The largest I have is 1/8 inch, and it worked great. Bought a cable to run it from my 7000 watt generator. Wish I had one years ago.
