Which Everlast?

[Bramic71]

Hello. I am new to welding and looking at getting my first welder. I was looking at purchasing a Hobart HH140, then I saw videos on the Everlast welders. In your opinion, is Everlast something you would purchase again? I am also worried about repair issues, as I live over in FL. I was looking at the IMig 200 and 200E. Thanks

Yeah,

I wouldn't recommend any 115V MIG unit, especially a heavy transformer one, as it may not give you it's full rated output without a 30 amp breaker, which isn't typical for households.

So, you can't wrong with the comparable Everlast 200 amp MIG stuff, since most are dual-voltage, inverter-based, have infinite adjustment (not tapped), and have better duty-cycles than virtually all other comparable units.

The 200 is the better of the two.
