Can deny the quality of lincoln welders when your workplace has standardized on them and you have to use them every day. My home miller, at less than half the price ($4k), comfortably runs circles around them. Inconsistent wire drive speed, nonsensical errors (such as "power supply not connected), and badly designed plastic parts.

Thanks for another stellar review, Todd! As a welder with 25+ years of experience, I will say that what you get out of buying Miller or Lincoln machines is great customer support. Pick up the phone and a tech can walk you through a repair, or you take take it to a local dealer for service. Not so with the Chinese stuff. Had a problem with the control board on an Everlast PowerMTS 251 welder at my last job, and getting in touch with anyone was a joke. They emailed me a PDF that looked like it was drawn up by a 5 year old, and when I had a question about clarifying some of the ridiculous crap on their drawing I couldn't get anyone to call me back. I ended up leaving that position before we ever got a resolution on it. With welders, buy them cheap enough that when they break you just throw it away, or save up your money for something blue or red and keep it forever, fixing it along the way. There really isn't any middle ground unless you want to be constantly frustrated. My two pennies, anyway.

And its not like the worker in the US is getting any decent medical benefits like in Europe, either. We are paying workers here nothing but overcharging customers. What use is the tech help if the parts are another ripoff, eh? I'll get the Chinese one.

Those aren't all hobby welders just because of their price. That Vulcan Welder is superior to all the welders from Miller and Lincoln that cost 5 times the price. More durable, more features, easier to get a better quality of weld, and better duty cycle. Miller and Lincoln are resting on their laurels from long ago. Just like shitty ass snap off tools.

The repair part is partially true, but the problem with the new inverter machines is, if a board goes out and it’s not under warranty then you may as well buy a new machine. So you can spend say $2500 on a newer Lincoln machine and fry it, or you could spend $1000 on a Hobart/vulcan/insert other “cheap” brand and fry it. Key is getting a machine that has a good warranty and take care of it. This is my view as someone who sells the red and blue machines for a living

I looked seriously at the Vulcan several years ago. At that time it was a DC welder only and not capable for AC to run aluminum. By the time I priced two Vulcans(DC unit and AC unit with MIG and TIG) with the necessary accessories to get what was needed they were within just a few hundred dollars of the Miller Multi-process 220 with everything included. Ultimately I bought the Miller. Every time I run the Miller the grin under my helmet is huge. It does everything I need and does it well == at a higher price point than any of the ones you tested. I have always subscribed to the "Cringe once - Grin many" method of buying tools. Having been a licensed and degreed aircraft mechanic for many years, as well as licensed in motorcycles and many versions of small engine equipment, this mind set has served me well if not not inexpensively. Having an expert welder to consistently run the units and give commentary was extremely helpful.

​@@connivingkhajiit I restore old Emerson brand fans from around 1920-1935. They can weigh upwards of 35+ pounds and are packed full of thick chunks of metal. Nothing was made to cut cost. Everything was made to last, and when finally worn, it was easily replaced. I have a 102 year old brass six bladed fan that funs like new sitting next to me now. It's been used by others for 85 years and me for 15 more. I have went through several Walmart generic fans out in the garage, they last two or three years. Most Emerson examples today need work, but most can be restored to fantastic running condition. There are actually lots of people like me and most have even more antique fans. I alone have over a dozen fans about 100 years old that run great. There are SO many antique fans that are in such good mechanical shape. That is A LOT of rambling for "they don't make them like that" comments. I just wanted to give a detailed example where I know it is 100% absolutely true. Don't even get me started with 100 year old axes. The short of it is any axe from 50 years ago is better than any axe today. :(*** Ok, to end this essay. That fan next to me that will probably run another 100 years. Well, it cost $37 back when it was new. Adjusted for inflation it's over $650!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine going to checkout at Target with your new fan, some milk and deodorant and the total is $700. ;) Inflation and many other things basically make it impossible to manufacture this way. We are in the age of value priced shit and must struggle to find anything of decent quality.

It seems like getting both a Yeswelder and an Azzuno for $612 might be a good strategy. Use the Azzuno for light gauge welding and the Yes for heavier stuff. Seems like the only downside would be breakage strength on heavy materials. I always check out your tests before I buy a new tool. No disappointments so far. Thanks!

My father had a Lincoln stick welder that we used mainly 6013's for welding frames and such. I was taught to stick weld and did well enough for our purposes (Not pretty and my welds didn't break but they were not like a real pro). That was many (50 years ago) I'm happy to see that Lincoln still makes high quality welders despite the price.

Plus you can't buy a "commercial" pressure washer from a box store, those guys are really FOS about their ratings. On electric units, they can't really lie because if they try to push a 10HP electric motor over it's ratings, it will either trip the breaker or burn the motor up. They don't sell commercial duty electric units at box stores either though.

One of the things that sets the welders apart is the differences in duty cycles. You touched on it a little with the 5 minute test but it would have been interesting to see how long the welder needed to cool down before going again on a repeated cycle. I use a miller 250 (~$5k set up). I regularly will weld for upwards of around 30 minutes or so with minimal breaks for repositioning myself or the material. Ambient temperature makes a difference but I can usually weld for 2-3 minutes before the fan kicks on and that thing has never shut down on me.

It does run a bit hot using internal settings, but its easy to adjust for application and user. Hope that made sense, and helped anyone wanting more information. Another great comparison!

I bought one of the generic Chinesium Mig/multi-process welders that eventually turned into a better known brand about 10 years ago for scratch-building a jet engine, and the quality difference between then and now is startling. I ended up replacing just about everything outside of the control board to make it run stainless consistently, but for the price I paid back then, it's mostly paid for itself that was destined to be a one-off project. Got lucky (?) on that front as they're all about the same welder with a different case these days, but the price gap between them and the top shelf models doesn't make sense if you're a weekend builder. Commercial stuff, sure, I'd spend the extra coin if/when you have the budget and the use case.
