Review on MIG 205 Welding Machine Gasless Voltage by Cody Howard

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Works as it should in the welder

1 star because I couldn't use the unit as the 2lb wire spool is not suitable for the unit. Nowhere in the description is it mentioned that 2lb wire spools are not suitable. I ordered a 10lb roll and will see if it fits. The spindle that the wire fits on is too big for 2 pounds. It is removed, but even after that, the role still does not fit. I then tried calling the support phone number but Google Chicago answered. I'll try the email provided and see if it's true. As soon as I know if the device actually works, I will update my review. Update: After receiving and installing the 10lb spool of wire, I turned the unit on and it would not start an arc even with the MIG wire touching the ground. . I have emailed Yeswelder and will see what they say. Searching the internet I found information that was not in the manual that came with the device. Tried again, works fine. Both the joystick and the flux core function work well. I have changed my rating to 4 stars. Would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the bad manual.

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • boring packaging
