Amperage and output voltage can be controlled precisely to get the proper penetration required. Wire speed can be infinitely adjusted to gain proper wire fill in the weld pool. This unit has been compared to the leading U.S.-manufactured red welders, with equivalent results at a fraction of the cost. The drive roll mechanism which is the heart of any MIG welder is designed to our specifications and delivers flawless wire feed without skipping or slipping on the wire.

Great Machine

Review by Ray -
I recently purchased an Eastwood 175 Amp Mig Welder with spool gun this product has met and exceeded my expectations I'm just learning to weld from the guy's I work with.They were impressed, I let three certified welders use my welder they were surprised at how smooth it worked and that the settings for metal thickness and wire speed were so close they needed no fine tuning.Quality Price Value
Thanks Eastwood -
Great Bang For Your Buck

Review by Turftech welder -
I needed to upgrade from my Lincoln Weld-pak 110v welder. I looked at many machines, and it came down to either Hobart or Eastwood. The free shipping, spool gun infinite heat control and 3 yr warranty convinced me to pull the trigger on the Eastwood.Quality Price Value
To my surprise the welder showed up 3 days later, Fed Exed to my door.
I ran a 2lb spool of .023 wire and about 1lb of .030 welding a wide range of materials and thicknesses the first day. This machine did great, you may have to tinker/fine tune your settings, especially on thinner material, but that is where the infinite controls really shine. I have now built a HD welding cart, that holds both my welders, a 200 CU ft bottle, and a 125 CU ft bottle, and a go-kart. I have yet to have a single hick-up or problem. This welder kicks my 110v Lincoln's butt!
This is not a Miller 211, or a higher end Hobart, like the 230 Ironman, but it is a great machine that has performed as well as any brand name 175/180 mig I have used.
Good job Eastwood! -
Nice welder!!!

Review by Big Bopper 1959 -
I've owned this welder for about six months and love it. I used to manage a Fab shop and was a certified pipe welder for years and this welder stacks right up with the name brand industry leaders except for the fact that the Eastwood MIG 175 is affordable.Quality Price Value
You can dial this unit in so it sings and lays a perfect bead. It is a joy to use, I'm glad I purchased it. -

Best Bang for the Buck

Review by RedZ -
Purchased welder not initially for automotive use, but rather to weld 3/16 steel on a custom made fence. I began project in one of my friends commercial welding shops using his big Lincoln machine--he retired before I finished leaving me without a welder. So far, I have used 10 small rolls of wire and half way through a large roll, two bottles of argon mix--and all I can say is this welder is awesome. When compared to my friends commercial welder, I couldn't notice any difference on 3/16 steel, if anything, I think the striker trigger was more controllable on the Eastwood. The instructions that come with the unit--and the videos set the standard for all tool manufacturers--they are top-notch and simple to follow. If I had any complaints; the first isn't related to Eastwood, but rather the shipper--the box is kind of heavy and they smashed two units--Eastwood sent out new ones right away--the last one they only broke a door hinge and Eastwood sent me out an entire new door (great customer service). My last desire is that the striker hose was longer--maybe 10-12 foot long instead of the 8 foot. I have yet to use the spool gun, but I keep looking around the shop for something aluminum to break so I can try it out. All in all, this welder performs just like the big boys, but as it is equipped, costs half the price, and has better warranty.Quality Price Value -

Best Christmas Present since the Red Ryder BB gun
(Posted on 8/21/12)
Review by Alaskagoldman -
I drooled over this welder for over a year while I was taking a welding class. Wife decided it would be a good Christmas Present for me and I have to agree with her opinion. This welder performed as well or better than the Miller Mig machines I learned on. My only suggestion is that Eastwood make a longer cable for the gun available as an option. I'm sure the shorter length adds to the reliability and smooth operation but many times a longer cable would be much more useful when you just can't get the cart any closer, like welding inside of a car body. No regrets here and I just ordered the spot welding tip and pliers!!!Price Value Quality
This is a great tool for car builders and restorers. -
All I can say is WOW!

Review by Crazicop -
I was uncertain with the purchase but thought with the 30 day money back guarantee, why not try. I did try to purchase it through the website and for whatever reason paypal had a hick-up. I called customer service and they were super helpful. I had a coupon code for free shipping but customer service was able to find one for me with $40 off and free shipping. Their customer service is worth trying this machine if you are even a small bit skeptical. Everything I've read on this machine lead me to believe it was a good welder for the price. I've used the blue brand and the red brand wire feed welders that are in the same class. This welder welds the same if not better! I am completely impressed with it and very glad I purchased it. The purchase also saved me that little extra that I can use else where in the shop! Plasma next!Price Value Quality -
Love the Welder / Hated the Cart
(Posted on 7/28/12)
Review by Corrosion -
My welder was damaged. Not a mark on the Carton. Found the Face plate cracked, after opening the carton and removing the unit from the foam inner packing? Had to be damaged when packaged... Automated packing I guess?Price Value Quality
I live 40 miles From the Store so I called, and spoke with Ivan, and he was going to Ship a new unit ASAP.
I added, I was not to impressed with the Cart. So I asked if I could pick up the Replacement, at the store. He said Come on down.
He listened to my complaints on the cart, and got me an up-graded Cart, for my inconvience.
Thanks Ivan, For...........
