160 Amp Dual Volt Arc Stick Welding Machine by HZXVOGEN - 60% Duty Cycle, Portable & Mini Inverter Welder (110/220V)

jack LEI: cozy item, but, when I move the machine, it is obviously that something is loose inside, I dare to open to check, I tried with welding rod, the machine works, how can I do? 1, keep it to use till one day it is broken due to the loose part. 2, waste time to return it... hesitate to decide.

Charles Abney: Ours is for general light work around the house. If you follow their guidelines on the operation of the unit you should be ok, hopefully; these entry level ones are a crap shot, they either work or they don't, reminds me of the earlier era of the PC power supplies you would buy. Take care everyone.

Doc: I had a problem with this little guy at first, it kept cutting out after about 3 inches of weld so I plug it into 220 outlet and the same thing happened. I than used a compressor and shot some air in the back of the little welder for about 30 seconds while it was shut off and powered it back on, that’s when I noticed the fan kicking on, this was the first time I noticed the fan running, I think the fan was stuck or something but now it welds like a hot dam, doesn't cut out anymore, the fan keeps running and welder stays cool, if you are having the same problem try blowing it down and check that the fan is on when you power up. I was using a 3/32 7018 ac and dc rod and they both worked good, the ac rod was easier to weld with it sounded a bit smoother, I also tried 7018 1/8 dc rod and that’s pretty much it’s limit, 6010 did not work for me but that’s ok, all in all great welder for the price, I hope this may help any of you that might of been having the same issues.

swarfer: This is an excellent low cost welder. It is constructed much better than I was led to believe. Easily welds small rods on a 110V/20A circuit with very precise current adjustment. 6013 rods a breeze to start and weld. I tack welded decades ago in a shipyard and nothing since and was doing good penetration welds with the first rod. Great for garage projects. Note that this is not sold as a true 220V welder. The adapter is a 220V welder plug connected to a standard 110V plug. ONLY ONE LEG OF THE 220V is used. This allows you to plug into to a 220V/30A circuit to get a 110V/30A circuit. Its a very clever way to get more amps as most homes have a 220V dryer either in the garage or adjacent laundry room. It allows you to use a heavy 110V extension cord you probably already have. Your dryer uses a special 220V plug so still have to adapt to the adapter. I can't speak for reliability or longevity, but if you have a critical repair to make, its certainly worth it.

John NjeruJohn Njeru: I bought this welder because the work I do (installing solar street lights) requires lots of welding. I also wanted something small and light that I could carry in car all the time. The first job I did with this welder was to fabricate 2inch iron pipes to convert them to street light poles. I did 10 poles and burned more than 20 rods none stop. The machine did not overheat or show any sign of struggle. But for best results I had to put it at max on the dial 168A. From my experience, I expect the little machine to give me many hours of good work. It has a 2 year warranty which is a long time for a $100 welder. EDIT: After 4 more months and tons of welds, the little monster still works great! I must say that the first impression of this machine is a toylike product but boy wait until you start burning rods! Within a very short time you start giving respect to the little machine. From my experience it's a high quality product with a really good price. I used it to build a 14 feet steel water tower and for 2 days I burned rods from morning to evening. Not once did I notice any fatigue or sign of overheating. This is a GREAT PURCHASE! I recommend it. Attached some photos of the work...
