## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Miller-made quality
*by E***Y on May 29, 2025*

Exceptional welder. Does everything that anyone could ever need for around the house, around the ranch, or even light industrial work in facilities. It's basically a Miller-made unit, so it's great quality. Got tired of hauling around a giant Miller-matic 252 and this has not given us any buyers remorse in the decision.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hobart you are the best. Love it.
*by E***D on May 12, 2023*

This is my first welder. I was saving money for something decent for a long time. I tried to start with Lincoln Electric 211i. First order didn't come on time so I canceled it. Second unit came in a horrible shape(see my review) so i returned it and man I glad I did. This welded is much much better value for money. Not only you get Mig, stick, tig for 30ish dollars more plus this unit comes with fan-on-demand option. It is so pleasant to work and study with this welder. When you are preparing your part for welding it is dead silent. I mean, if you work in the shop and your coworkers drop steel all day long it doesn't matter but for me in my personal shop it does matter. Plus this guy is a beast so much power! Built quality is also great. Don't be upset with the fact that it is made in China. It doesn't matter anymore. Don't forget that Hobart is a little brother of Miller. Tech support, warranty, parts, service distribution is great as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Compact Welder
*by S***N on July 18, 2023*

This welder is great for the home garage for small to medium jobs. Set up was easy and it is easy to use. Definitely pleased with my purchase.
