Allows experienced welders to manually adjust wire feed speed and voltage with no limitations on wire thickness or shielding gas.
Features an intuitive, easy-to-use control panel with a color LED screen that clearly visualizes the welding process and parameters.
Weighing 20.5 lbs and supporting both 110V and 220V, providing excellent mobility for shop or field use.
Built for Every Job
“This was an outdoor repair on an existing steel frame, nowhere near a perfect bench setup. The YWM160 was easy to carry over and still had the output to fuse the joint properly.”
“Lift TIG surprised me on this little machine. The start felt smooth enough to settle into the seam, and I could carry a neat practice bead without constantly restarting the arc.”
“The MIG side has a crisp feel when the settings are up where they need to be. On this T-joint, it dug in well and left a clean, even fillet.”

4 out of 5 starsFlux and Mig Work Best
I recently purchased this welder for hobbyist projects. The mig and flux settings and feeds operate well. You still have to tinker with the settings. I found that the recommended settings by YW ran a little to hot for the 1/8 steel I was practicing on. Just a quick note, flux welding produces a lot of gas, I recommend you wear a p100 respirator when flux welding. I've struggled with the stick welding both with 6011 and 7018 getting the settings right for an arc and a good weld. Also, I've had good results with the Yeswelder 030 flux wire. Very easy to set up for a newbie.

5 out of 5 starsThis has been the best portable welder I've had.
I got this as a easily portable mig to do jobs with when I had to go to the location. I previously had a Miller CST280 that the board decided to let the magic smoke out. A lot of the welding I do could have been done with a mig, so I went with this after seeing so many positive reviews. It has lived up to them! I have never had a issue with it and probably have 15 or 20 hours of welding with it so far. I love that it works on 120v or 240v. I have tripped a breaker several times when using it on 120v, but I just reduce my weld on time and increase my wait time. I have recommend this to several…

5 out of 5 starsGreat tool for a fair price
I have been using this machine for a few weeks now intermittently in the afternoon. I use the smart setting and it works well. I am still trying to figure out the manual mode. Currently, I have not been able to find a good manual setting; but I don’t have 220v , so I am using the 120 v power supply cord. Not sure if that is a reason, or probably why I can’t get it to work well in manual mode. Regarding the customer service. I have had a good experience; anytime I have questions I get responses via email.
