I have been looking for a review for these inverter welders. You see I only just got into welding, as a matter of fact, I am still a spectator at the time of writing but now I can say I am confident in going into welding and choosing a welding machine because of this Video, I appreciate your effort in making this video. Thank you Kasyan TV

[@StewsChannel]

I bought one of those small DC inverter welders as well (though not this exact one) and it just amazes the heck out of me how well it actually welds. A lot easier to move around than my old Lincoln AC225 buzzbox too :)

Hi. Would you highly recommend this device? I only want to use it to do light welding on Classic cars that I will buy and sell, but only will weld occasionally as I try to buy classic cars that don’t need welding but past experience has cost me to pay someone else to weld bits of my previous classic cars! Apologies for the long message 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️👍🏻

I bought this machine from the geek less than €50 including delivery. Delivery time was 2 weeks. I tested with 1.6 mm stainless, 2.5 and 3.2 normal stick. The performance is very good, ach is stabile, start is easy. The size is awesome. It's been a very nice deal, i am quite happy and satisfied.

[@MrMarkspaced]

thank you, it is extremely rare i make comments on KZbin but i really appreciate your review very detailed and extremely helpful, well presented thank you, i have been restricted to a wheelchair over the last few years and my mig welder has sat there for years not used as it just way to big and even on wheels it just not practical, and this sort of welder looks to be the sort of thing that i can use, that is easy to move about light and i will be getting something similar, the sip T1400 and will be looking forwards to being able to do some small welding jobs again. you are a star thank you so much i wish there were many more like you, you made clear all the info people could want, i would suggest maybe if you do any follow ups or similar items you demo welding a couple of bits together and show how well the weld reaches in to the metal, i know you said you are no welder but many people that have never welded will likely watch and be interested in how easy or hard you find it as a novice. anyway take care and thanks again.

Good review

[@pabloricardodetarragon2649]

15 years ago I bought for 100 USD an italian Telwin 100 Amp, a 125V which could be plugged on a common 15A plug so it was usable everywhere with 6013; 309 and 312 sticks. Excellent for light fabrication and reparations anywhere with a 15A plug. I gave it 5 years ago to a friend after burning hundreds of sticks, it works always flawlessly. A trick, with these miniature inverters, stainless steel sticks as the the 309 and 312 are easier to use, with less heat and gives very good results, specially on 14 gauge galvanized tubing, as the welds are smooth, with minimal burn of the galvanization. No grinding needed as the "glass" pops by itself and the welds are nice.

[@gangleweed]

That is a characteristic of DC welding.....you hardly ever get a bad weld and no splatter either.

[@freddielouh5323]

linear transformer welding is still the best for regular use.but I bought one for projects that needs only few welding,very light and compact.

Do yourself a favor and buy old transformer machine-sure it will be harder to start ,but once you learn use those you will be better at welding with anything new. +It will outlast you and your grandkids since its just copper coils and no electronics but a switch. These cheap inverters are just not worthy,even for hobby use.

[@emanuelmifsud6754]

@@zumbazumba1 You are right. The old welders were solidly built with plenty of copper and really indestructible. But the Chinese want to build everthing the cheapest and having cheap labour, minimal materials used and government subsidisation results in equipment such as these inverters. They will last only as good as their manufacturer. Here in Australia we made excellent welders, and I believe all the makers have disappeared, replaced with container loads of Chinewse junk.

[@earthflute2248]

Good review. You get what you pay for. Hobby only.

[@Tyvo1]

First Video I have watched of this channel and it only took half the video to become a subscriber. Good video. I have a unit like this, mine came with the cable for a few dollars more. I suspect that these boards are built on mass and then a "manufacturer" puts in in their own case and labels it. However I could be wrong. At any rate, mine does not provide the amperage it advertises (200) but it does weld pretty good.

[@ramblerssafarnaama4181]

What ampere breaker do you use at the panel for it? And do you use it on 110v?

[@Tyvo1]

@@ramblerssafarnaama4181 I have used it at 110V and 220v, While it does work at 110 volt, I have to increase the amperage on the dial in order to get the same kind of weld. I find it lacks the initial "Omph" to create the arc and sticks more often at 110v. I get better and more consitant result at 220v. For the 110v, I have a 30amp breaker available and at 220v, it is a 50 amp breaker. Do you find similar results?

[@41172]

[@nelsondog100]

Me too! I just can’t understand what I’m doing wrong when trying to weld. This guy’s weld looks not too bad from such a tiny machine. I have a Yamato 300 amp inverter type and my welds look really bad. I tried adjusting the amperage, reversing the leads, cleaning the weld surfaces like a mirror and still, my welds are poor. I’m wondering if it might be the rod I’m using. I would like to try a different type but I can’t find any.

[@FrietjeM]

Can you please explain how you did connect the wires? Because there are two cables (brown and blue) and what type of plug did you use

[@phyx1s]

Are the mains and secondary windings of the transformer not isolated from eachother? Dark and light copper wires seem to touch eachother. If that is the case, isolation is only from the coating on the copper wires. That can not be good. It's difficult to see from the video.

[@phyx1s]

No reply on my point. So point taken :-) I bought such welder too. It was actually cheap (

[@getyourwordsstraightjack5523]

Got mine working today, first time welding. I noticed mine has a screw at the back near the power switch, it says in the manual that it is supposed to be used to connect a ground wire to the unit, which is an odd way of setting it up, as the wire would be housed independantly of the others. I noticed on yours that there is no such screw on the back. Mine is the 120v version. It is very difficult to strike an arc with it, it sticks to the metal a lot, but for $100 I got it, plus the grounding clamp wire and the electrode holder. Very good deal.
