AWT MIG Welder 140Amp, Flux Core MIG Welder/Stick 2 in 1 Welding Machine, Welder Machine 110V With Synergy IGBT Inverter, Portable Gasless Welder Equipment

I just bought the 2 in 1. I think this is as good as a gassless flux core welder can get. It's so light, and packs quite a punch. I ran beads for about 2 hours yesterday and about 3 more hours today. It was flawless. I tried the stick welding it seemed to work great but I realized I need a lot of practice in stick. My first welder was the harbor freight special. I could rarely get a good weld out of that thing. This welder is a 200% upgrade from the harbor freight flux core welder, and some how lighter and cheaper. Overall I would recommend for beginners and small to medium jobs.

I owned a welding machine that cost three times this product but did only one third of the ability! This machine is sooo much easier to use, my welds are clean and strong, and the price for this machine is crazy amazing! I urge anyone who is frustrated with their current machines ability or the crappy welds it produces to buy one of these welding machines as you too will be amazed at how easy this makes joining metal with strong clean welds! Also if ur unsure of what setting you should use it has preset functions which are spot on (no pun intended) This was so inexpensive it allowed me to purchase a self darkening solar powered mask which fits so comfortably, operates effortlessly, and rids the stress of lifting lowering your mask or getting retina burn from frustration of losing your starting point. Get one get one get one!!

So firstly, this is NOT a MIG welder. I don't know why they say it is. They say "Gasless MIG" in the description...and there is no such thing. It is a flux core wire feed welder. But I still give it five stars because it is amazing. The wire feed unit is solid. Which is rare in cheap welders. And the inverter makes one of the nicest arcs I've ever used on a wire feed. Very stable. To test it I welded about an hour on some .065 square tubing that I was building some things with. And it kept up like one of my big welders just fine. Then I welded a bit of .120 and it was just as good. I used the one pound of wire that came with it...just to see, and it was pretty good stuff. Holding it gets a bit heavy after an hour or so which is why I quit after an hour. But it certainly had no heating problems or voltage/current variations after that amount of welding. This using my Vantage 500 as a power source for it. So I'm running it off of a GFI 15 amp plug. I don't know how it would perform on a regular household outlet. I didn't try it but it should be similar. The wire feed nozzles are the same as the ones in my welding box. Standard. If I was going to suggest any change to it at all....it would be to build a better spool cover but that's a small thing on something in this price range. So this is going to be something I carry in the welding truck in one of the tool box panels and its gonna be used lots.

I have only used it on thin metal and the mig setting.IT seems to work great!!

Fast delivery. Nice and compact design. Very handy for site projects.

Maximum output with inner shield (flux core) is only 120 amps. max as per the spec. sheet. Not 140 amps as advertised.Max output with stick is 115 amps.After test welding with the supplied wire the machine worked satisfactory but was greatly improved by using a premiumwire. I found Forney wire worked best.In stick mode the machine burned 3/32" filler metal rod great. I didn't test it with 1/8" but it may work with it in the vertical position. It may be a little cold for flat/ horizontal work.Arc stability was very good in both modes.I will update this review after I get some more run time.Just for total transparency. I am a welder with 50 years' experience.Update: The more I weld with this machine the more I like it. The syn mode parameters are spot on and they produce clean welds with little to no spatter. I mostly use .035 wire it seems to run a little smoother than .030.I don't usually recommend products, but this machine is a must have for the home workshop.I was never a fan of inner Shield flux core, but this machine made me a believer. Attached pics are flux core in as welded condition. I just used a couple of strokes from a hand wire brush to clean the slag off.

love this welder worked great and good price

This is not a welder for aluminum. There is things you have to buy to convert it over. I wish I never would have purchased this thing. The gas leaks on the inside of the welder and you have to take most of it apart to even see where it's leaking. This is the worst welder I have ever bought! DO NOT BUY THIS WELDER!
