This welder is an awesome value! I've used many different welders for many different jobs and this unit rocks! I needed a new 110v machine for my own personal use and did my research online comparing the "big 3" to this unit. In the end the Eastwood MIG135 had the most features, best warranty, and most competitive price. Now that I got it and used it, hands down it's the best deal! My favorite feature is the heat dial. Most comparable units only have a couple of settings instead of an adjustable dial. For $300 you can't go wrong!

This welder is the bomb! I had a 110v Lincoln (which I paid $450 for 10 years ago...) that finally crapped out. I did my online "consumer comparisons" and chose the Eastwood MIG135. Without actually touching the welder it's features and price was a better value than the competition. Now that I've got it and used it, there's no doubt. Honestly for $300 you can't go wrong! Now remember, this is no production welder, but for $300??? Wow! I'll be checking out more Eastwood tools in the near future!

Started welding right out of the box. Had not welded in years this machine made it so easy to get back into it. Very well compatible with other machines and cost alot less. Love this thing.

tried my new mig welder 135 for the first time this weekend. I am putting a new floorpan in my jeep. Started out great then the tip started slidinging on me and turned my job into a big tug of war. The tip won. I gave up. No qualms with the welder just the tip that came with it. I ordered a couple new tips today. Lets see what happens this weekend.

I wanted to upgrade to a better mig welder than the cheap one I had, but couldn't justify the $$ of a Millermatic, so I decided to believe the other 50 reviews and the demo video and try the 135.
What I read was true. The thing works great. My first weld was beautiful.

As far as the welder goes its unbeatable for the money. My review is more for customer service.
Ordered my mig135 and it was promptly delivered by FedEx. However, FedEx left package on front step and some passerby liked it enough to snatch it up. Leaving me slightly annoyed to say the least. After a couple of phone calls and a little run around from FedEx I called Eastwood and lo and behold a person answered. Once they took over I received my 135 without any other delay. I am now a customer for life. Thank you

I have stick welded for many years and am looking forward to MIG. Videos and price sold me on Eastwood's MIG 135 over Chicago Electric and Hobart brands. I ordered on Friday and it showed up the next day - FANTASTIC service!! Unfortunately the unit they shipped me was dead on arrival. The highest voltage setting it barely causes a spark. The wire turns red hot and but it doesn't weld. Yes, the electrical and gas connections are all correct - it's really pretty simple and would be difficult to mess up. I left a voice message for tech support but I don't blame them for not calling me back on the weekend. I'll deal with it tomorrow, on Monday. I'm sure Eastwood will make it right, it's just very disappointing - especially for my 16 yr. old son who had his first MIG project all ready to go. If I have to pay return shipping on to get this corpse back to Pottstown, I guarantee there will be sparks flying then!

I am a professional fabricator with 10+ yrs experience. This welder will cover just about all home projects you could throw it's way. But the gas system has some bugs, the first unit I got had no gas flow at all, the second worked for about a week then a gas solenoid causes free open flow. Although the company has held true to the warranty, and replaces the units free of charge it has become annoying. Hopefully the next will not have any bugs! Great product for the beginner!!

just got my mig 135 today haven't had a chance to use it yet still have to get my gas bottle , I have used other 110 mig's before but the weight on this one is heavy compared to all the others I have tried . Going by the rule of thumb my dad tried to teach me the heavier the better the quality

I've owned this welder for about a month now and am thrilled with it so far. After using a Harbor Freight 90A welder for a few weeks I knew I needed something better. I tried out my friend's Lincoln Handy Mig, and was just about sold on it, but the infinitely variable voltage control was what really sold me on the Eastwood. Now after using the MIG135 for a few weeks, I honestly feel I made the better choice. So far I've used it to build a trailer, welding mostly .090" and .120" wall steel using .030" flux core wire, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I'm looking forward to adding gas and trying it out with some .023" wire on some thin sheet.
