Here is my full review of the product.
First of all , I bought this welder because it was portable and 110v capacity and now it have been sold and I m looking for another option. So here is my review of this product
positive:
110v/220v
ibgt
smaw/tig
gas solenoid
ready to use ( need argon and consumable tungsten and welding rod)
good quality wip
small size
weigth
run smooth on 7018 and tig
the price if you compare with high end like miller or lincoln
come with a carry case (but it might not be offer later)
atractive look
Negative
gas inlet to long and need use of a collar
ground work tiny
low ocv and unknow, (open circuit voltage) not able to weld 6011 properly ( I m a high pressure and 6011 rod come second as my favorite rod)
pedal reostat to sensitive
sticky a litle bit because of low ocv and unknow???
price high if you compare with other rebadge chinese welder
The website is a piece of crap with bad information or missing information . The less you know , the more they sell ( you have to run trought US website and Canada website and they don t say the same)
duty cycle low compare with miller but good if you compare with other rebadge chinese welder
warranty , In US, it is 5 years but in Canada it is 3 years only. WHY? (raciste lol joke)
They offer a refund of 1 month ( this is a Canadian law) but you have to pay for restocking (ALLO :S
) and you need the origninal cardboard box
most review on this welder have been made by personne who never have weld in the past so how they know if it is a good welder? It s like a children with is first scooter and say that it goes like a car!!! Yes it carry you to your destination but this is not like a car.
Youtube comparaison vs miller by (welding tips) are a waste of time as they only show you what they can do , not what the can 't do !!!
would I recomand to any personne ???
Yes, as long as they take the time to reed my post to see the negative side and positive side . Overhaul it is a good portable welder , the price is not that bad, it run smooth but Can'T weld 6011 rod. (maybe mine was defective) For the time I use it , I was impress for what it was able to do but deceptive on other aspect . Remember , This is not a Miller quality !!!
Is it a miller killer?
No way !!!this is only a chinese competitor .
Would I buy again from everlast???
Yes , maybe the micro tig 185 ( who have try it with 6011 rod on ac and dc? what was your result?)
Did I was happy with it?
Yes !!!
If everlast crew read this review , you should update your website
Thank you and I wish you understand that I try to be fair in my review even if you see more negative side in it.
