Excellent Versatile Welder!
The ARCCAPTAIN TIG Welder 200A is a fantastic dual-voltage machine! It handles TIG, Stick, and Arc welding smoothly with a clear LED display. The 2T/4T function and included tungsten electrode make it user-friendly. Great performance on both 110V and 220V—highly recommended for pros and hobbyists!

Excellent value AC/DC TIG welder!
The media could not be loaded. This is an awesome little AC/DC TIG welder! As a beginner TIG welder myself, I've been really impressed by how easy the welder is to setup and use. ARCCAPTAIN includes basicallly everything you need to get welding right out of the box. The only things you'll need to add are your argon gas bottle, PPE equipment, filler rods, and some additional tungsten electrodes. The included torch consumables for the WP-26 torch are fine for getting started but I'd definitely recommend getting a stubby collet/gas lens kit to make the overall torch more compact and give yourself a few larger cup sizes for increased shielding gas coverage. ARCCAPTAIN even offers such a kit. I really like the on-demand cooling fan of this welder. It's much nicer than listening to the fan endless spin away even when the welder isn't being used.The TIG200P ACDC offers a lot of user controls without being too overwhelming for a beginner like myself. It probably doesn't have as many advanced arc control features as a much more expensive unit, but that is probably actually better for someone just starting out. You still get full control of all standard TIG parameters (pre/post flow time, starting/ending current, ramp up/down time), plus pulse functionality, and the option of doing AC welding with square or triangular wave (AC balance and frequency adjustable). These settings alone will be enough to keep me busy for a long time as I learn the art of TIG welding.ARCCAPTAIN offers a separate foot pedal controller for the unit and I suggest picking it up if you want to have pedal control of the amperage. The pedal/torch trigger interface connector on the welder is a XS12 series aviation connetor which I have not seen used before on any other welding brand so finding an alternative pedal that would be compatible with the ARCCAPTAIN would be difficult unless you're up for modifying the connetor on the cable yourself. The ARCCAPTAIN pedal is a bit large and bulky but it gets the job done fine.Because I'm just learning how to TIG weld and can't provide a fair assesssment of the units performance yet, I took it into my work where we manufacture fluid control equipment for semiconductor fab tools. One of our professional welders tested the TIG200P for some stainless steel DC welding and was really impressed by the performance of this welder. For the price point, he agreed this is definitely the best budget friendly welder he's ever used and would be great for a beginner like myself or a hobbyist that can't justify spending 2-4X as much money for a unit from the big Blue or big Red brands. I'm really looking forward to continuing to hone my TIG welding skills with this unit and start using it for my automotive restoration and other hobby projects.

A lot of machine for the money
This welder was way better than I expectedI’ve welded with the blue machines the red machines and the one from Italy via IllinoisThe bang for the buck here is unreal . The arc is very stable the hf arc start works well . It has a lot of features you find only in high end machines . Quality seems good time will tell . A good warranty I think 5 years. Outstanding !

Compact and Light Welder
Compact and light, easy setup, great customer service from a company that really wants to provide a nice product.Update: This is a very capable little tig welder, been using it on a couple job sites for repair and small fab. The price is definitily a selling point and cant beat the HF starts with slope etc. I upgraded to a better work clamp/cable and CK Worldwide 17 torch, using stubby gas lens. Nothing I have seen on the market can compete with this little unit right now. You can carry it with a small bottle of argon plug it up to 120V and fix almost anything, for those bigger jobs it does even better on 240V.***Hooked up a pedal to the machine to see how it would do. Its an XS12 5 pin male connector, they all have to come from China, so it will take a few weeks. Easy enough to change out connector. Pins 3&4 are to start the arc, 1,2,5 are for the 2w/10k pot. Has full range from 10-200 amps. You will set max amps in panel mode then switch to remote for pedal (using pedal it will go to amps set in panel), its smooth and holds well on desired power. Pedal was a game changer for ease of use bench welding.Used it on a bigger job site powered by a Miller Bobcat 250 as generator, ran it for 3 days welding pipe, it never missed a beat on 240V. Welds turned out nice and no problems with generator power. We can use the Bobcat to tig weld but dont have a HF box hooked up so this is an easier/cheaper option to have HF, also gives the abilty to move around with just longer extension cords and the unit is right there to change amps if needed. You can pulse on the downslope by just clicking trigger off and on. It was run way past its listed duty cycle many times with no issues.

This product looks good
This product looks good, but it's a little bit not very user-friendly!

Beginner at TIG - Welded Stainless Pipe in 3 days
Hobby welder for 30 years, but first time to TIG weld. Watched a few beginner videos for the basics and gave it a go! I've wanted a TIG welder for years, but wasn't sure what to get (too many options and no knowledge of what I need). Decided on this one based on reviews from pro welders. Worked great! Practiced for 3 days on scraps, then fabricated a new exhaust pipe for my airplane out of 18 gauge stainless. The machine is fantastic! I'm not disappointed whatsoever. Bought the pedal as well but haven't used it yet. NOTE: It doesn't come with Tungsten electrodes, so you will need to get some of those.
