DEKO 220V MMA Welder, 200A ARC Welder Machine IGBT Digital Display LCD Hot Start Welder with Electrode Holder,Work Clamp, Input Power Adapter Cable

I really like this. It's super easy to set up and put back away. It's extremely lightweight too. It's small size means it's easy to pack away, but don't let that fool you, it's pretty powerful! I've done some great welds with it so far, and I'm glad I spent my money on it. Totally worth it.

Miles better quality than what could be achieved with the older and extremely crude transformer type arc welders at an amazing price point.

The first thing I did when I received the welder was check out the fuse in the plug as other reviews have noted it is an issue. This one had a fuse that said it was a BS1362 30 amp which doesn’t actually exist so is fake . 1362 fuses only go up to 13 amp . I simply replaced it with a real 13 amp fuse , this is the only reason I didn’t give it full five stars . I imagine if you are using high amps for long periods you could blow the fuse unless you changed the plug and used an industrial plug socket arrangement for this purpose. A very capable little inverter welder for the cost and perfect for transporting around. The leads are an ok length and are in a tough rubber.I have run half a dozen 2.5mm rods when I wrote this review and it was easy enough to get a consistent arc going once struck . The fuse didn’t blow nor did the welder overheat. I noticed it has a 40% duty cycle on its high output = 4 minutes welding in every 10 minutes on high power. A good thing for hobbyists and those who use a welder for jobbing repairs and smaller projects.

I was a bit wary as it is so light, I did not think it would be up to the job. I am pleased to say my fears were unfounded. It works really well.

Great price and an excellent welder. Very good control of the current. Very light.

I am NOT a skilled welder but have used welders at work for small jobs, so I knew the fundamentals of using one and found loading the flux core wire easy to do and get spot welding on the garden furniture....PLEASE NOTE : the 0.8mm tip is already installed on this machine, so you might need to swap it for the 1mm if you use the included spool (check beforehand).The repairs went well and took little time to dial in the correct amps/feed setting to create strong welds, it is pretty obvious I'm not neat or skilled but I will practice and hopefully get better.

Just wanted to share my experiance. Broke during first use. Welder unit itself seems to be fine, however the electrode holder broke on first use. Very cheap build. Tried to contact the company direcly as it was past the amazon return date but they don't reply at all, didnt even acknowledge the email / whatsapp etc. Just ghost you. Wouldn't touch DEKO in the future for the reason mentioned. Would I buy from them again = absolutely not! (Purchased due to a good review on youtube)

So i have just taken it out the box so this is just based on what I have seen before using it. It will only mig weld with flux wire as there is no where to attach the gas. This is not a huge problem as that is how I had mainly planned on using it but they give you some regular wire with the machine so kind of makes it a bit pointless giving it to you, makes you wonder what the people making these know about it. I will update the review once I have got the right cable for it and tried it out.
