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.

Customer Service nightmare
(Posted on 2/20/13)
Review by KB -
The welder works great and is good value though I had a cooling fan issue about 8 months into my warranty. I called to get a new cooling fan which I was told would be sent, 2 months later no fan and I can't use my welder. I call again and finally they agree to replace it, I ship it out, here I am 3 weeks later and 3 phone calls and it still isn't on its way. 6 months ago I told people to buy Eastwood. Today I say buy a Lincoln.Quality Price Value -
Eastwood MIG Welder 175 Amp with Spool Gun

Review by MajorWreck -
I was ready to pull the trigger on a Miller Mig unit ($1200.00), and decided why not try the Eastwood Mig. It has a 30 day no hassle return policy. To my surprise this Mig 175 can weld as good as the competition. Took me about 10 min to get it going, and man this rig is an excellent welder. Lots of voltage for what I need. I had a small issue with a item in shipping, and customer service went over and above to make it right. Give it a try and you will be impressed. I WAS!!!!!!Value Quality Price -

Makes good welds

Review by beebe -
What matters is the welder makes good welds. It's easy to use, and so far it has been reliable. The downside is the cart is flimsy and poorly designed. If I could go back I would buy the welder alone and then use it to build a good cart. The welder has an overall feel of low quality. Like the rubber isn't as strong/thick, some other parts just aren't up to par with the miller/lincoln welders. But I have used miller and lincoln welders and it is just as easy to use and makes just as good or better welds. For the price it is UNBEATABLE. Trust me I did a lot of research. The spool gun has the same cheap feel but it works great for fixing my aluminum sprinkler pipe and I have had no problems so far (it takes some practice to weld aluminum though). Great overall I would and have recommended to others and they also agree. Gets fairly heavy use on a 500 acre farm and no real problems so far after two years. The price with spool gun is amazing. It uses same disposable parts as lincoln mig welder I believe (they have the parts at local hardware stores.) I never write reviews but thought I would cause this was a great buy.Price Value Quality -

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. -
