Excellent welder, crummy wire. Welds even better with good wire. I get Hobart in vacuum sealed packs to minimize wire oxidation. Makes for even smoother weld puddles and less spatter.

I've owned this for a while and it works great.

Got one last week. Great for small jobs around the house for beginners.

I bought one about 3 years ago and it works great especially for thinner steel. 😊

I have the 140 model. I love it for wielding anything up to 1/4 inch. It also does really well on thin metals using a stitch wield Lots of flexibility not problems at all I use a lot of Vulcan wire because it is easy to pick up close by, but have found a couple of others in the same price range created smoother beads

I bought one on sale for 159.99 a couple of years ago and sat on its box for a year and a half. Never welded anything before using a wire feed style but this one is so easy to use for the diy use. I fixed my kids broken trampoline galvanized steel pole and worked like a charm. I recommend this welder for any beginner.

The most important part of welding is knowing how to weld.

I've been welding 3/16" and 1/4" angle iron, horizontal, vertical and overhead with this little green box and it welds great. Nice thick beads when you need it or dial it back for 1/16. Works great for outdoor projects using Lincoln innershield wire from HD.

It’s light to and makes it easy for doing jobs and whatnot better than carrying a bulky heavy ass welder around

I have one. I love it. Welded a carriage today to use my 12 ton pneumatic bottle jack as a forging press and all of the welds tight on .125 angle iron and some 7 gauge. And that was about those same settings; not even maxed out! Only thing I don't like is that the slag doesn't always fully cover the weld. Not sure if it's a volume issue with the thinner wire or something to do with the inverter technology.

I have one of their original 90 amp welders and it does a good job for what I use it for. I like it so much that I bought a 125 amp welder as a backup unit in the event the 90 amp CROAKED. Like Clint Eastwood said in the Dirty Harry movie, Magnum Force "a man has to know his limitations". That is the same with Harbor Freight welders, you have to know their LIMITATIONS, if I was in the market for a new welder I would buy a Harbor Freight Titanium EasyFlux 125 Welder.

I have the Chicago electric 125 from harbor freight, it doesn't have as many options on settings but it works alright. I want to upgrade to the titanium soon.

Own it and I love it! Very easy to use and get used to!

I own one. I’ve used it on some small repairs. Works well.

I've had the same one for little over a yr now and have went through about 6 lb wire so far and I've been very impressed with it!! Definitely money well spent when on a budget next im really wanting multi process welder from yeswelder or primeweld!!

This little Flux MIG is awesome for the price and it works very well. I used Blue Demon for Stainless car exhaust work with lots of prep work. For Standard steel it's been great with the Harbor freight wire. For big thick pieces I still use my STICK welder.

Looks good Jimmy..I would be it.😁💪👍👍

I’ve got it I think it’s pretty good for price. Just gotta get the settings right and it flow’s perfect for me

Have one, it does pretty good for what it is. It connects two pieces of metal together and they stay together, thats all that masters

Looks like it could do small jobs around the shop just fine.

I have had mine for a couple of years. I'm a DIY welder and use it for small metal projects. It's really handy for the beginner.

I’d like to see a it longer video rather than a short. That said, I do like the portability of this one yeah I’d probably consider buy that one.

I just bought one of these and I was surprised at the strength of the welds it can make. I have been welding for 50 years but I never had a flux core welder so I'm in a sort of a learning phase. So far the welds i've cut and tested have shown a lot more penetration than I would have expected for such a cheap machine . So far so good. I even pushed it up to 1/4 inch stock to see if It would exceed the rated capacity. It did , but the weld was a little weak for my liking.

Yes man just got it and learning sbout it how to use it

I love this machine

As a factory certified welder repair tech for all major brands with over 20 years experience. Reguardless of machine color, they all evevtualy break. Major brands have better warranty support for parts. In most cases warranty does not pay for lost productivity. Most problems with small machine are caused by consumers that either do not read the owners manual or the information in the owners manual is beyond the operators comprehension. These inexpensive machines will be satisfactory as long as they are respected and operated within specs. If YOU purchase a less expensive machine and it breaks and YOU can't repair it, dont bother taking it to a repair shop. Just go back and buy another one!!!!!

@tommyhamel89

Agreed, in general cheap is expensive. The duty cycle is 30% on these, 7 minutes of cooling for 3 minute of CONTINUOUS weld at 90 amp.

Had to go to lowes and get the century version. It's pretty much the same thing. Love that litte welder. Just bought the 225 stick. Even on 120, it's twice the weld the little Chicago model is. Cost twice as much to. Now I'm looking at running dedicated power for both out back. DC inverted is the way to go, no doubt.

Your hand are little high and lower your speed wire , use gel on the welding nuzzle ❤

Nice ! Im looking at this one and also a older used one from a friend. I can’t remember the darn name but in thinking its a bigger unit and maybe hood old fashion quality. Is this one plug into 110 or 220 ?

Can it do 3/16" on a 20A receptacle?

I've got one of those, and I have had excellent results from it. If you run the smaller diameter wires, you'll get much better results and a smoother weld

Could you use this welder for a gokart or bike project

I'm thinking about buying a welder. I only have a little experience welding and it was with a stick welder. I was working at a temp agency and got sent to a new complex. I was helping a company dig trenches for conductor lines for the sliding gate. I asked if I could try welding on the fence. I weld a line maybe 4 Inches and did ok for a first time weld. Should I buy a stick welder since I have a little experience with it?

I own this little welder and I think it's great!
