 Great welder, great price, American Made March 5, 2010

I did a little research before purchasing this welder. Turns out it is made in America by Hobart- Miller( even though neither name appears on the welder). There is little difference between the Hobart and Miller products and this one, it is apparently made on the same production line. The machine performs just as a 110 volt welder should. The included helmet is functional but you definitely need an upgrade. The cart is not optimum but with the new welder I modified it to work just fine. I received an adjustable Hobart regulator rather than the fixed one, but either will work well. This welder has an eight foot cable rather than the usual ten foot, but rather than pay the additional cost I am happy to move the welder closer. I am very happy with this machine and as long as you do not need a 220v machine this is a great one at a reasonable price.
made by HOBART in the USA April 1, 2010

this welder was a great buy, it is just an awesome unit. 24ga to 3/16 welds great with or without shielding gas. made in the usa by a well known manufacturer HOBART. i bought it for sheet metal work using the shielding gas its just awesome, i cant say enough about it top quality at just an unbelievable price. these were manufactured to compete with the imports in the same class, it just blows them away no comparison.
great buy March 23, 2010

great buy for the price.hooked it up with the flux wire and works good on 1/8 inch good but not the thinner stuff.bought a bottle of gas 75-25 and wow this thing will weld anything.
Best Deal.... June 22, 2010

My neighbor has a Lincoln welder the same size and this one blows it away. He is jealous. Everything worked straight out of the box. It came with a better regulator than the one that was advertised. The only things that I changed was I put better screws in the cart and a larger ground clamp. The one that came with was too small for 1 1/2 tubing. Tractor Supply is close by so getting parts is easy, they carry HOBART.

ATTENTION, the welder shown in the picture is NOT what comes in the 500550 package, the picture shows a handler 140, which is a good bit better welder than the 130 that comes in the kit. That being said it's still not a bad deal for a beginner/hobbiest. UPDATE: They have now posted the correct picture for this kit.
