Hi, I recently bought a Amico electric, 200 amps multi-purpose 3 in1 welder, from Amazon. I got the the welder. However i discovered, it have a factory defect,(the wire speed dial isn't working). I informed Amazon about it. They asked that I return the item. However to do so is costing more than i bought it for. I am outside the usa. So I am left stuck with a a defective product. So i am looking for a solution.
I got the 80$ one its blue and very similar. It runs on 110 and ive put it on my kitchen outlet and ran a 50 ft extention cord with it and ran 3/32 rod welding a gazebo together. Never popped the braker, the cord for yhr ground did get hot but didnt melt. The rubber felt soft though. Great welder for the price. And i went to school for welding. I got mine as a joke pretty much. My helmet could buy me 10 of these things and im quite happy with it. I use it qhenever a friend needs something welded i can throw this in the glovebox of my truck and go do small to med size jobs without clunking around my big Lincoln and tanks. Definitely a 10/10 machine. A beginner can definitely use it and lay good welds eventually or a pro can use it and lay good beads. You will be surprised for the price and how well it does id recommend them to anyone
Man I keep seeing these stick welders everywhere. I guess for 40bux it's hard to go wrong. I may pick one up sooner than expected. Thank you for the review. Good quality video.
If you're doing it professionally you want a machine that can run constantly. The cheaper ones usually only have a 30% duty cycle. That's perfectly fine for most DIY applications. There's also things to consider like maintenance and support. Lincoln and Miller have great support, but these cheap ones the only support you really have is Amazon's return policy (which is actually pretty good).
@@bossoy0769 yeah that's pretty good. It means you can use it at max power for 6min then have to let it rest for 4min. At lower power you might be able to use it nearly continuously.
mine works fine on 110. how strange you left out the amp reading out of frame when it wasnt working, almost like you had it on super low amps and count keep the arc started. user error dummy.
And also brother would you recommend this welder? Or look into a tad bit more expensive ones got a got a little bit more money then this one is going for but I not welding super super thick stuff
Thanks. I have the yeswelder 135 mig and 160 arc welder. Both work great on 120v. Have a great day
Thank you I think this video may have saved me from catastrophe.
Ebay has them for 69 bucks with the 110/ 220 adapter plug. I bought one and it does work well on both. Only 1/8" steel or less on 110v with 3/32 rod.
Sounds amazing!
I have the s7 it does great on 120
yes welder and tooliom both come with 10' leads for ground and stinger
ooh nice, good tip!
The havadou 225 works great on 110. It burns 6010 rods with no problem including long-arcing.
I’d love to see that!
most deffinitly are 50amp 110 breakers

Try 5/64 rods. These are a hair smaller in diameter than 3/32 (obviously). Nice little welder with these.
6011 3/32 run perfect on these little machine
Thank you
glad it was helpful!

Yeah these little IGBT inverter machines are great.
My goodness, and there is a lot of empty space inside to make it even smaller!
I’m gonna buy one of these to weld a whole bunch of 12 oz aluminum cans together
Probably not the best use case but have fun 😂
As long as you're not going to weld a bucked grabb, then I guess it's okay. But it won't be able to push thru thick steel...
You wouldn't use a 140 amps welder for that... No matter what brand

Yeah, hard to beat for the money. Glad you enjoyed it!
I would say taking it to 110 would really hurt your wattage and lower your heat by 50% as well.
"Knocking your slag off" is very different in British English...
😆
You didn't weld with it! What the? No next time! No clicks!
Thanks for leaving.
so why do people buy the expensive huge ones, when these do the job just fine?

@@BookAutowerks oh alright thank you so much for the Information o subscribed keep up the good work

10$ welder when
Both pieces of your equipment are cheap, sorry to be honest to you. Get better equipment or teach electric?
I think, you get what you pay for!
