Time for an upgrade, but do I jump ship from Blue and Red and try something Green?

Welcome to the forums, IronFreak!

I lurked for a long time before joining the forum, trying to objectively gather information, and obviously the answer you get will depend on who you ask, and on what forum. But I'll throw my 2 cents in.

I worked at a LWS for some years back in the day, and originally only considered Red and Blue as viable options.What opened my mind to Everlast were some of the obvious things: lower "admission price" and the 5 year warranty, for instance. When I entered "Everlast" into a search engine I eventually found a site called WeldingTipsAndTricks.com and the reviews of Everlast machines on that site helped me make up my mind.

Now that I've been on the forum a while, some details that may not be immediately obvious to a lurker came to light: Everlast maintains direct control of production at the factory, for instance.

Looking forward to seeing your future posts.

A broken RED machine brought me to Everlast many years ago. Have not looked back, sold me BLUE as well for good money. I have both the 210EXT and the 255EXT. I like the start a tad better on the 210, but the 255 has all the power and feature you will probably ever need.

I also have out MIG-200 and MIG 250P. Our MIG prices on the higher amp machines are close to the BIG COLOR, but work all the same and solid.

Good luck in you pick. The 250EX is one of my old favorites. Does not take long to learn the knobs, power and better price.
