ARCCAPTAINMIG Welder, 200Amp 6 in 1 Gas MIG/Gasless Flux Core MIG/Stick/Lift TIG/Spot welding/Spool Gun 110V/220V Aluminum Multi Process Welding Machine with LED Digital Display, Burn Back Adjustment

The welder even after watching videos on it, works even better than expected, I owned a lincoln welder 120v, this runs and ajusts so much better then the lincoln. Have run lincoln welders for more than 35 years.

I can't boast enough about this welder! Absolutely the best welder i have ever used! Flux core .035 welds like butter and smooth operation!Buy this welder!

Decided I wanted to learn to weld, and this did everything I needed. Simple instructions for setup, digital display is fine, works as it should. I may still be terrible at welding, but the machine is great.

works good for what i do I like the ability to run 120V for smaller gigs. I have used Stick burn works well. I use MIG most of the time. It does seem to get hot after consistent use. On 20.5 V close to max setting and it's not rated for continuous use. I let sit for a while and does good. Good for around the house' I have only ran .030 wire works well for welding exhaust pipe.

The media could not be loaded. I have been really impressed with the ArcCaptain MIG200 multi-process welder. I bought this welder as an upgrade and replacement for my old Millermatic 140 welder. This ArcCaptain welder has so much more versatility, adjustment, and power compared to the old basic transformer MIG welder I'm coming from. The build quality is excellent, although it may not be as durable as a big name brand, but for DIY hobby use in the garage it will be more than tough enough.The welder comes with almost everything you need to MIG or stick weld out of the box. The only items you'll need to pick up are your MIG wire, shielding gas (unless you run flux-core wire), a gas regulator, or your stick welding electrodes. The welder comes with extra MIG consumables and uses standard tweco style contact tips readily available. 3 different styles of wire drive rolls are provided; V-groove for solid wire, knurled groove for flux wire, and U-groove for aluminum wire. Unfortunately ArcCaptain appears to have a packaging issue though because even with 7 drive rolls included in the kit none of them have a groove sized for running 0.035" (0.9mm) wire of any type. Hopefully they correct this issue in the future.This welder welds nicely and creates an easy to control weld bead. I'm a little rusty with my handwork so the inconsistencies in my test welds were the result of my own travel speed issues and not the welder. The Synergistic MIG functionality is really nice and provides a really good starting point for MIG weld settings. The one thing that ArcCaptain completely fails to mention in their user manual though is that when your in Synergistic mode you MUST set the AMPERAGE level appropriate for the material thickness being welded and then the machine will adjust the voltage and wire feed speed accordingly. For any beginner, just follow this rule of thumb and use 1 Amp for ever 0.001" of material thickness (ex. for welding 1/8" thick steel start with the welder set to 125A in synergistic mode and adjust the voltage from there if the weld is too hot/cold for your liking).My only minor complaints about the welder, aside from the missing 0.035" drive rolls, are that ArcCaptain didn't include a MIG setup chart sticker inside the door cover (which is standard practice on all MIG machines), and that the unit comes wired for 110V input and they provide a 110V to 220V adapter cable. I think this practice of passing 220V through a 110V plug is poor design and may even be a violation of certain electrical safety codes. The better design would've been to have a 220V cable wired to the unit and adapt down to a 110V plug when needed.Overall this ArcCaptain MIG200 welder is a great value for all of the functionality it provides. It provides many more advanced features typically reserved for welders 2-3X the price of this unit. ArcCaptains support team has also been very helpful and responsive to my emails and the customer support is excellent for an international company. I'd highly recommend this welder to anyone looking for an excellent value multi-process MIG welder.

I have been welding for 30+ years and I’ll admit, I was skeptical about buying a welder that sounded too good to be true, but this welder is fantastic! I’ve used it for both gasless and gas MIG and it just works beautifully. I haven’t used it for stick yet, but I’m thinking it will work well. I really love how lite and portable it is!

Good

I bought this 200-amp 6-in-1 ArcCaptain around 10 months ago, and I have been and continue to be very pleased with it. I bought it to replace a bottom-of-the-barrel multi-process unit, which was my first MIG machine; up to that time (25 years or so) I've welded only using stick or TIG. That little unit worked okay for basic MIG/flux core, but had some frustrations, including limited capacity and no way to see or set specific wire-feed and voltage - it only provided a "synergy" mode with an arbitrary +/- adjustment. Nonetheless, despite its limitations, that bottom-barrel convinced me that I did want to incorporate MIG into my welding capabilities.Thus, when I took on a major project for a friend (major for me, at least - completely refurbishing and adding onto a 4 x 8 trailer), I took advantage of the excuse to step up to the "next level," resulting in buying this ArcCaptain. I was specifically looking for a machine with decent capacity and the ability to switch to full-manual mode. I chose the ArcCaptain based on its described capabilities combined with some favorable YouTube reviews.Pros of this unit:* Welds very smoothly in MIG, flux-core, and SMAW, all on steel; I haven't tried it on TIG or spool gun.* Dual voltage - I mostly use it on 240V, but have needed to run it on 120V a few times, and it worked well (only tried on MIG thus far)* Easy to use interface, with clear readouts* Memory for up to 10 sets of settings* Ability to switch back and forth from "synergy" mode to full manual mode, allowing full control and fine-tuning of settings* "Spot weld" mode is surprisingly useful* Fan runs only on-demand; shuts off when it is not neededCons of this unit:* The wire-feed setting is shown in meters/second rather than in inches/minute - the latter is the way I nearly always see it expressed, but that may be due to being in the USA. The conversion is not difficult - meters/second * 40 ≈ inches/minute.* The plastic strain-relief where the wire-feed gun plugs into the unit is a bit flimsyI have no affiliation with the company, and purchased the unit with my own money. Bottom line: I have been very, very satisfied with this welder, and would not hesitate to buy it again.
