MIG Welder Machine 200Amp 240V 4 in 1 Multiprocess Welder,Mig Gas/Gasless Flux Core/Lift TIG/Stick MMA Synergy Welding,Large LED Display Upgrade MIG200

This little welder is a total surprise. I am so happy with it. It’s very easy to set up and use. I have been a welder for over 40 years when mig welders were the same size as a mini. It’s just amazing how easy it is to carry round with you. I think anyone wanting a small compact mig with a big migs uses. I’m convinced it’s a good tool for workshop and home 10/10

Fantastic machine and easy to set up. I'm using it mostly for flux core welding but I've tried the stick/arc function and that works great too!! I got it on special offer with15% off so all round a fabulous buy. Highly recommended. 😁👋

I’ve been using this portable MIG Welder for a while now, and it’s a great choice for anyone starting out or needing a compact, versatile machine.The welder supports both gas and gasless operation, which is handy if you’re working outside and don’t want to deal with shielding gas. It also offers LIFT TIG and MMA welding options, so it’s versatile enough to tackle a range of tasks. The adjustable power settings make it easy to fine-tune for different applications, which is great for beginners learning the ropes.At just 3.5kg, it’s incredibly lightweight and easy to move around, whether you’re working in a garage or carrying it to different job sites. The large LED display is also really clear, making it simple to check and adjust your settings.So far, it’s handled light and medium-duty tasks well, though it’s not designed for heavy industrial work. Overall, it’s a solid, user-friendly welder that’s perfect for DIY projects or learning the basics. Definitely worth considering if you’re after something lightweight and reliable.

Now I'm a complete novice and have been looking to learn for a while and have many friends who weld.Have been looking for sometime for my first machine and settled on this one.Well I am glad I did!Have only used a couple of times and it's obvious I need plenty of practice, but what a pleasure.I totally recommend this machine you cannot go wrong.

I've used my machine twice since I've had it and it's broken?

Does the job

This is a 3 in 1 welding system Gasless MIG, Lift TIG, and MMA.You will need to buy a Tig torch if you intend to use the Tig system as it does not come supplied with a Tig torch.it is a fully portable unit with all the normal adjustments you would expect on this type welding unit including welding speed and current.The unit has several safety feature built in including overcurrent protection, overload protection, and temperature control.If you overload it, it will trip and cut off the power supply to the motor while running the fan to cool everything down.I don't really have anything to weld at the moment, but I've tried MIG welding on a couple of steel tubes and it works perfectly.This is a really light and portable welding machine.It doesn't take up a lot of room and would be ideal for the home DIY'er or small workshop.Very good quality and price.

This is a SprigHolly multi-process welder that claims to do gasless MIG, MMA and Lift-TIG, with an optional torch and gas supply, the latter however does not seem to be present on the SprigHolly store. Interestingly, their store and boxes all say "Its like sewing", which is a bit odd as I've not seen many seamstresses want to get into welding, nor hobby welders who are also into dress making.Unfortunately, the evaluation unit has taken a reasonable knock during shipping, with compression to the outer box and packaging, then the inner box shows compression and although it has foam liners, there is some bending in the bending the top and front panel and the screw holes don't line up well between the case and the base now. Thanks Amazon Logistics :-(I've straightened it out as best I can, but will need to test it properly to make sure other damage didn't occur and possibly talk to their UK support function, since the front display is not sitting right and that's where some of the electronics is. As a result, I've not powered the unit up yet.Although I've welded before with Stick/MMA and TIG at a hobby level to the "A Grinder and Paint makes the the the Welder I ain't" level, things are "hot glued" together properly, but I'm not going to win any Welding competitions for perfect welds. I have no MIG torch time yet, except for some training videos. This unit is going to help a lot with that. Supposedly, MIG it is the easiest of the welding technologies to learn and almost point and squirt, which is why its a common first choice. The choice of gasless MIG also lowers the cost of entry to get going. This is where this product fits.Watching the two videos on the product listing though, does make me wonder if I'm any better than the person running beads on the floor in their production facility, they don't even show the welds close up and they are on maximum current according to the front panel shots.The pictures in the listing are not accurate, for example the farm picture shows the welder to be much larger than it actually is, plus they seem to have a wireless version in the picture since its got no power cable, but is still welding. The documentation for the Welder state that its suitable for plate thicknesses of 0.5-8mm and can take MIG wire from 0.8mm, 0.9mm and 1.0mmAnyhow. The evaluation unit is a MIG160, it comes with the welder frame, which is remarkably small and lightweight, coming in at 5.3Kg according to the cardboard packaging. The main unit is 300mm long, 140mm wide and 170mm high, excluding the fold-down handle. This is definitely a hobby grade welder, rather than something more professional. It is supplied with 0.5Kg of 0.8mm flux core steel MIG wire, marked AWS E71T-GS. The unit will take up to a 1Kg spool, but nothing larger than this (again proving its only a hobby grade unit).Two welding cables are provided, one is for a ground clamp and the other is a "stinger" for stick/MMA welding, both are on chunky 16mm2 cables which are just under 2M long when the connectors at the end are taken into consideration. They use the standard rotate to lock Dinse Plugs, but in a small form factor 9mm type. The clamps on both cables are very strong, taking a fair amount of force to open, at least a lot more than my other kit.A basic MIG torch is provided, this measures 2M long in total, but only about 1.6M of that is the wire / sleeve / tube for the wire. Accessories are provide for the torch, there are 3 x 1mm contact tips and 2 x 0.8mm contact tips (no 0.9's), one of the 1mm tips is fitted to the torch. A metal nozzle is provided and this can be pulled off. A ceramic nozzle is also provided, which I originally mistook for being a TIG shielding gas cup. This can be fitted in place of the metal nozzle, so ideal if you need to insulate where you are working. The torch has a hanging hook on the back so you can keep it out of the way when not in use.The only accessories other than the manual is a very basic wire brush with combined slag hammer stud on the rear, although this is a common beginners tool in many welders, its so basic as to be virtually useless, there are 15 wire bundles, each with 6 folded wires in each, giving 12 bristles per set, but their spacing is like two rows of trees down either side of the road, they will not do anything in the centre area. So buy a separate wire brush for cleaning off welding slag, it will do a much better job. Don't follow the lead in the manufacturers video, where they are using an adjustable wrench as a slag hammer. Yet more proof this is not a professional product, since they are not following professional techniques.There are no safety items provided, so you will need a face mask - get an auto-darkening one so you have another hand free when working, it makes a lot of difference. Additionally, no welding gloves are provided, however the SprigHolly web site does list these, along with BBQ and pet handling leather gloves (good to see they are specialising).The manual contains only 4 sides of A5 paper in English, so the instructions are fairly basic, it gives the specifications. The most worrying part of this the current requirement, particularly given the label printed next to the very chunky mains cable, which says its rating is 2x2.5mm 1x1mm, so presumably the L, N and E cable diameters, its also a rubberised cable, just under 10mm in diameter.The cable terminates into a 13A socket, with a 13A fuse fitted, however a big red label, rather worryingly states1. If machine has no power please check machine plug fuse ,if fuse cutting off need to be changed first2. 30A circuit breaker recommended3. Recommended 16A industrial plug if use high current and continuous working time.4. Ensure that the power grid used can withstand welding operations to avoid causing safety accident.I think (1) just means check the fuse first.The bottom of the welder contains a ratings plate and the current listed there, match that printed in the manual, which states the maximum current taken by the welder is 23A for MIG, 26A for MMA and 18A for TIG. Obviously these are well above the 13A maximum rating for standard UK BS1363A sockets and also above that for the recommended 16A industrial commando socket. I guess they are relying on the fact that many fuses do not go pop at their rated value, (1) in the instructions also implies they may go pop fairly frequently. Note that Commando sockets don't have a fuse and instead rely on the MCB on the radial supply feeding them. So, be careful what you plug this into and heed the warnings. Definitely don't run this off an extension cable !!The manual also includes information on how to set up the MIG wire feed mechanism, this is the part that feeds the wire out and through the gun, it is the standard arrangement of a pressure plate and a roller with teeth in that bite into the wire. The bottom wheel has a plastic cover, which is rotated off, giving access to the feed roller, this can be removed and flipped over, one side is 0.8mm, the other side is 1.0mm, 0.8 was configured at the point of delivery and matches the supplied MIG wire. No mention of 0.9mm is made, so I guess you see which side works best from 0.8 or 1.0.The majority of the diagrams in the manual are very small, the exploded diagrams for the torches are useless as they are unreadable, even under a good magnifier.Some of the diagrams are also not representative of this model of welder, they show plugs that are not present, this implies that you need to know the correct configurations for each welding process Direct Current (DC) (Electrode Positive (EP) vs Electrode Negative (EN). The legends on the front panel show the supported modes, but I can't check these yet, as I cant power my unit up yet.The front of the welder is split in two parts, the top half has a display showing the welding process and the electrode wiring polarities, the mode is set with the "mode" button. The left knob is for the welding current (32A lowest, 160A highest). The right is for the MIG wire speed, which is between 2 and 15 metres per minute. The bottom half of the front panel has a 2 pin socket for the switch on the MIG gun along with the two high current Dinse connectors for the negative and positive connectors. Interestingly, these are not labelled, even though the top of the panel states the polarities. I therefore assume that the welder electronics flips the polarities when required depending on the selected mode. Only the right hand connector has the wire hole for the MIG wire, since this is behind the driver part of the unit.The rear of the unit has a 65mm fan, so I'm expecting this to be fairly noisy, since it will need to move a lot of heat from the IGBT drivers within the unit. However fans are often on with welders, since they need to keep the electronics cool. This may be an issue with this unit too, since the top of the welder and the back of the manual lists the error codes. Many of these are related to temperature safety cut-outs, implying that the operating duty cycle of the welder is low (how much time spent welding vs doing other things, as a percentage). The technical specifications in the manual state its 35%, but the rating plate on the bottom shows X=60%, which is a very different value for the same thing. Lower duty cycles are also another indicator of hobby grade kit, since professional welders would want to be burning wire far more of the time, compared to a hobby user who will be typically sticking a couple of bits of metal together every so often.Note that this unit cannot use a separate gas supply for MIG welding, gas MIG is not supported by this unit as no gas connectors or gas solenoids are present.So, overall, a reasonably good starting welder for the price (about half the price of a machine mart MIG) as long as you accept it will have some compromises and you will need to buy some other accessories and consumables.I've knocked off a star for the poor quality documentation and the questionable maximum power ratings.I will update this review, once I've got the damage sorted out and can get some burning time on the MIG torch. I don't plan to use it in MMA or TIG mode, since I already have those capabilities
