SereneLife Inverter MIG Welding Machine

I have a very heavy duty Lincoln welder that is very big and heavy, and needs 220 V to operate. It's great but way overkill to do smaller welding jobs. THIS little baby can run on 110 V which I can't tell you how convenient that makes it for me. I have wanted to buy a smaller welder for years. Wish I pulled the trigger sooner. Speaking of triggers, this machine is incredibly smooth operating as far as the wire feed/trigger touch. It has the option to use shielding gas too. I can't comment much on the welding helmet that comes with it because I use the one I had already with special lens for my vision issues and auto darkening. This is an incredible value. I can't believe someone can MAKE a MIG welder at this price point! My BBQ grill hood handle kept getting loose and the screws were rusty and stripped on me. I plugged into my deck outlet and put down a few little welds, 5 minute repair. I needed a cymbal clamp to be very specific, to reach to a certain spot on my kit. I welded two different pieces together to get the reach I needed that nobody else sold. This little fab job was so easy with this welder. -It's lightweight (for a welder!) -It's extremely affordable. I paid MORE for my soldering station than I did for this. -It is extremely efficient. I thought all my lights would dim lol -This is a GREAT first welder to tinker and learn with! Always wanted to learn? Get one and start laying down some beads. Much easier than learning stick welding. -This was designed for 110 V ALTERNATING current and it was done right. AC on welders, well I won't get technical but it can cause some issues with the welds, porosity, etc. This is designed to work with the .30 flux core wire. I don't know how they did it, but it's right. -Add an argon tank (or CO2), Nice that this has that ability. -Portable, like really portable. I hooked this up to a little generator I had and it worked fine. I used to ride quads and dirt bikes in the middle of nowhere. I wish I could have had this then. With a small gen and this, could be very useful for a quick remote repair when something broke. Nice to have at a construction site for those little unforeseen needs too. Two thumbs up!
