I should have berkeleying done this before I spent a whole week cranking barely-hot-enough weld out of my Eastwood 135 into the strut towers on my latest project- I need a bigger welder. I like the 210 MVP because it can run on both 220v and 110v, seems small enough to still be somewhat portable, and is well reviewed.
Anybody have one and want to tell me about how you like it? Is there something else I should be looking at?
I only have experience with the Iron Man 230 and the 115 suitcase models, but I found both of them to be every bit the equivalent of their Miller Counterparts. For my personal, I have a Miller 212, but I've used the Hobarts mentioned HARD. Solid Kit.
Not exactly answering your question, but I hope it helps.
Obviously a smaller box, but my Hobart 140 has been trouble-free for 5-6 years now (and built my cage and seems to have more than enough power for heavy stuff). Not that it's equivalent, just saying that Hobart quality is good.
I have a 210mvp about 5yrs old my only frustration has been very sticky contact tips that seem to love spatter and a random burnback problem that nothing has ever solved. The MVP plugs are delicate and the ground clamp typically crappy.
Good workhorse, pleanty of power for structural automobile stuff, reasonably priced it not cheap, great consumables availability thanks to Tractor Supply, most powerful machine I know of to use the smaller touch/gun
That said a few months ago when the main board died in my Synchrowave (again) I hurriedly bought a Jasic Razorweld Tig unit from the local weld shop assuming it would be fine but typical China weider frustrations. I won't clutter your thread with a review but I'll never buy a "big 3" welder again.
