I have a trucking company and wanted to start to do some repairs on our trucks. i was told by many people to buy a miller or a lincoln . i was looking for one of these and the prices were out of control for these units. im certain your just paying for the name. i then saw eastwoods advertisement so took a look and saw other reviews on this product was good. i also searched on google and reviews were good. i decided to buy one and i received order in 1 day. I started welding and took me about 4 times to start welding nice beads. love this welder and i want to buy the plasma cutter next

Welder seems real nice. Hooked everything up no gas from nozzle?? checked regulator fine. checked hose no gas thru it, called company got machine left message. started checking hose ended up fitting for end was not drilled out (solid no hole) Drilled out myself works perfect. Company called back 2 days later. Welding cart S**ks real cheap bent my top shelf pulling across room. Would recommend welder but not cart.

I have used several Manufacturers welder over the years on hobby and auto projects. Right out of the box and assembled with an argon bottle, I was very impressed with the quality of the welds from thin to thick material. On Christmas day I was welding everything I could find in my garage and it proformed great on everything I tried. I even put a couple of items I welded together in a vise and beat the crap out of it in an effort to break the weld. Instead just bent the steel.
Overall a great welder at a SUPER price and welds are very attractive. Highly recommend this machine to anyone.

The cart is the only reason for 4 stars in quality. It is flimsy and does not fit a large gas tank and does not allow the access panel to openwhen built as per instructions. I installed the top shelf upside down, ground off the top of the upright supports, added 3" of steel to the rear and added a layer of plywood to the top of the shelf in order to gain clearance to set a tank in the rear and secure the welder to the cart with easy access to change wire spools. The welder works great and the accessories are a good deal. The tip lead and the power cord could be longer but luckily I have a 100' extension cord that works well with it.

I got my welder on Wednesday and Argon tank Friday. I didn't have a chance to use it until this weekend. All I can say is I love it already. I used flux wire for steel and ran some beads. Had to play with the settings a bit like turning up the amps and turning down the wire speed. Eventually I got good beads and good penetration on butt welds. Swapped out the MIG gun and put in the spool gun. It was a lot of fun to use and was very happy when I got the hang of it. Cart is a little bad but the helmet is great. Wish the gun and clamp were a bit longer but I needed to make an adapter/extension cord anyway so that gives me the length I need.
