MIG250DP

I bought this as a replacement to my trusted welder when it failed. Straight out of the box I was welding within minutes. especially like the non gas ability.

Very easy to use good solid unit with lots of great features definitely a good buy professional style gun

Haven’t got time to try it but a friend has one and it’s good

The plastic shroud around the electrical components and connector block of the MIG gun is poorly constructed and just fell open, exposing live wiring behind it. The twist off end cap which is poorly secured and takes about 1/8th of a turn to remove. Which as I found can be done by just the torch cable movement over the end cap because it’s so loose. Below it are live cables. This poses an electrical hazard. These cables are joined using US style twist caps which, although not illegal in the UK, are far from best practice and designed for in wall use and on 110V circuits used in the US with lower electrocution risk. See images. The included manual for this is useless. I asked support for a better manual and they sent one. This was also useless so I asked for a better manual. They sent a near identical one. The manuals were poorly translated but make reference to switches and functions that have no corresponding diagram. So there’s no way of following what the manual is saying or making the adjustments it references. Support is lacking. The marketing says “【The Coolest Colourful Large LED Display】- The unique colour LED screen design to provide you with accurate data display“. Yes, if you are in a dark room. But in a well lit area the screen is quite dull. See image - you can see the amps/volts but not the colourful welding format selector. In the specifications it says “Applicable wire: 0.6/0.8/1.0.“ It’s not supplied with a 0.6mm roller. Note too in case you miss it – the TIG torch is not included. The machine worked for both MIG and TIG but due to the issues noted -particularly electrical safety - I returned it.

The first time being able to use this welder since buying it. I must say I'm very impressed so far. Lots of 5mm mild steel welding with full penetration. Set the Amps to 180 and away I went. All afternoon, two days in a row without a hitch or any sign of reaching it's duty cycle. Very very impressed for a machine that's such good value for money

The welder has far surpassed my expectations, it runs really smooth and puts a good weld down even with the included flux core wire

Some people say on here it does not work when connected to a normal 13amp socket, it does, even at 250 amps! No problem, the booklet says it needs 30 amp socket but it’s wrong. Buy it and see for yourself.

Surprised by the price and delivery quick turnaround but not using until later next year
