My brother happened to be the UPS guy on the route and didn’t wanna leave in the open so he out in the shop ( I was kinda tripped out they would just walk in my shop so I figured he might have had the route so I called he and he started laughing and he was like I didn’t think you wanted that on the porch while you were at work even though your in the mountains) so yes they are an amazing company and there customer service is out of this world.

It arrived in less than 2 weeks across the border to Canada!! Packaging was flawless and was excited to get going ( hadn’t done any welding in over 40 years - TIG welding is on my bucket list!! Never having used tig before I had major trouble getting to work….. turns out the foot pedal was pooched from the get go. I hooked up the finger trigger and amazingly was welding ( not pretty but first time they looked like welds !!! Anyway. 1 email and a brand new foot pedal arrived within the week ( again to Alberta Canad ) Worked perfect and they said ‘ just keep the old one for parts’. It’s been awesome in every way. Great company and service.

I have been researching AHP 200x and the Everlast 200dv for over a year now trying to make a decision and get as much info as possible. This video and talking to Mike at primeweld on the phone has made my decision real easy. No more struggling over yellow or green. Black is going to get my money as soon as they are in stock. And, if it breaks, I'm not shelling out cash to pay to have it ship both ways. This, i think, is going to make yellow and green have to step up and start doing the same thing or get left behind. Not to mention the primeweld includes a CK torch with a super flex cable. Nuff said.

My PrimeWeld story. I decided I was going to learn how to tig weld. After doing my research I decided on the Prime Weld 225. It sat in the box for 4 months until I finally was ready to focus on learning. I set it up and started practicing. After 2 days the regulator flow ball was not working properly, the ball sat at the bottom no matter what I did. Miffed, I switched out the regulator from my mig welder and started practicing again. I sent an email to primeworld customer service and told them about my experience. I couldn't find my receipt, I really figured I was just going to need to buy another one because it had been so long, my fault for not inspecting things quicker. Much to my surprise, customer service found my original purchase paperwork, asked me a couple more details about my regulator to confirm it was dead and not me using it wrong (I took no offense to that, it's entirely possible). Then they shipped out a brand new one completely free of charge! Prime Weld showed me that customer service is not dead! Since that time I have learned to tig well reasonably well and I use it nearly every day. It's a great machine, I'm extremely happy with it, Prime Weld has a customer for life. There you go, that's my story.

In my opinion they saved money using noisier fans and dials which is fine for a budget welder.

I put a 1" square piece of aluminum on the foot pedal which made it a lot more comfortable. I don't have enough seat time to know about control. Nice to know that there's other options out there for foot pedals that give you more control. My current issue is keeping my tungsten separate from the metal I'm welding. The way I weld you would think the two were star crossed lovers who can't stand to be apart any longer. I spend more time grinding tungsten then I do welding, meh, one day I'll get there.

i assume this was reviewed on 220VAC? i would have liked to see him do both, 220 and 110, just so those of us garage DIY'ers that dont have 220 yet know what to expect. great video!!!!

Had mine for 10 months. Still love it. All these videos and social media have made me a little insecure about longterm use with it though("get an everlast or miller if u wanna 'go pro' and have a machine that WILL last 10 years) I've welded proficiently with everything but titanium, inconel, magnesium, platinum etc lol with it. NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. have a nice nova foot pedal, furick arsenal, all that. Getting water cooler and ck20 next week for it. Some say "if u really want to utilize a cooler, get a 275> amp machine" but why?? I hardly EVER am welding 1" aluminum...and basically everything else, it handles great, AC AND DC. AND ITS SHOWING NO SIGNS OF AGING, AFTER ALMOST A YEAR. but now, sadly, me constantly wanting more, wanting to get better, wanting more capabilities, more machines/tools/skills...has made me think I need to invest in a everlast 315lx or 355ext. Simply for the amps, and advanced Ac wave forms. It will not make me MORE money.....am I blowing money by buying another machine not even a year later, or is it a solid investment? All comments appreciated

If you're getting by just fine with the PrimeWeld and it's putting $$ in your pocket, run it til it dies!

I’m a brand new welder that doesn’t like junk ( even if it’s cheap) I’d rather pay once and once only. My research says that tig is the way to go and, can weld everything ( yes?) Im looking to pull the trigger And I think this machine is the one

This was an awesome review. I would love to see the cover taken off to see a bit of the inside though.

A lot of folks are asking for a comparison between this machine and the AHP but I really want to know how it compares to a $3000 machine; either a dedicated TIG machine or one of the new multi-process machines like ESAB 205? As a new TIG welder would I see the difference in my welds?

For Europeans watching: It appears that there is a clone of that thing for us. It's the Sherman TIG 210. Rated at a little lower amps, the case has a slightly different shape and therefore the switches are a little different. But other than that it looks extremely similar.

It looks really similar but why would it be so much cheaper?
