Review on πŸ”₯ Hobart 770869 Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet: Highly Effective and Versatile by Jonathan Wilson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not suitable for personal protective equipment

Does not darken. Contacted product support, they said they would send a new module, after weeks of waiting, didn't receive it so I called back, they helped, it should be there next day, didn't receive it in 3 days. I called again, explained the problem and was put through to a different department, they couldn't find any information about the replacement order so I was put through to another department with a different company name where I was on hold for 45 minutes until I... hung up and didn't call back. . The person I spoke to this time couldn't find any information about the bug report number so they sent him a new module. Received within a week but was busy out of town. I finally tested it, but the controller didn't seem to make any difference in the dimming function. I ended up cranking all the controls to the max and looking at the sun it got dark but there was some flickering and then after about 10 seconds it went full light causing temporary blindness. I have to assume that these modules are not tested for functionality.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
