YESWELDER MIG-250 PRO Aluminum MIG Welder, 250Amp 220V Advanced Digital Display, MIG/Pulsed MIG/Flux Core/Spool Gun MIG/Lift TIG/Stick 6-In-1 Multiprocess Welding Machine, Spool Gun Compatible

I've used this welder for MIG and bought the lift TIG torch, but mostly stuck with MIG. Regarding 'wire welding', i've used this with both standard wire with shielding gas and flux core. The synergistic settings must work because picking up the welder after ~20 years later I was able to put down some decent welds. I bought the lift TIG to see if it would spot weld like a TIG can do but doesn't work that way since you can't adjust the current while it's flowing, would need an expensive foot pedal control method to do that. Haven't used the Stick welding option but like that I could if i needed to.

So far the yeswelder 250p mig welder has been great. However I had one hiccup first one didn’t work out the box so took a week to return and get credit towards the one I got now. I will say this now that I don’t care how expensive or cheap anything is from any brand you can and will get a bad egg period sadly which sometimes leaves such a bad taste and experience for some people they end up with epic horrible stories. I just was smart and lucky returned mine same day I got it since it failed out of the box and sent back for credit. But if I did go through customer support from yeswelder for it I don’t know what would have happened. With that part out of the way moving on.Next from the first unit I did learn real quick the stock mig gun is meh at best. I have a cheap harbor freight special 90 amp flux core with only 6’ gun and thought 10’ would impress me but it didn’t either plus it felt cheap. But upon getting my credit the welder went on sale even more from the 100 to 160 or 140 off. So I threw down a bit more and bought yeswelders tweco #2 mig gun for some esab machine since it was 15’ and euro connector which is soso hard to find guns for just have to look and have patience. But ya my biggest issue is I barely understand fcaw and I have yet to do gmaw (flux core and mig welding types) I just use it for flux core so far and the settings are my big issue not because this machine is hard to use if anything this is very user friendly it’s I know CC welding which is amperage based settings for control. CV which is fcaw and gmaw welding type run off voltage and wire feed speed for resistance. Not sure if the amperage ever changes with those but it does have a handy chart that gives you a basic idea of what amps said settings are and those settings it lists are good starting point for said thickness/metal type and welding type.Quality is solid so far. I have used it for 1/4” and 1/8” to 1/4” steel and I haven’t really had any issues. Just learning the settings and it falling into place with all the amp based settings I know and use so far. I only have run .030 wire so everything I do is manually adjusted. Can’t say anything about it’s auto settings mode. I like my control. Oh and it’s speed is metric only no inch or feet per min setting swap I can find or read about. So be prepared for that if you read online or watch vids in the US. Easy way I go with is whatever inches per min they say I divide it by 39.25 which I think is about perfect.I’d most definitely get the yeswelder tweco #2 15’ euro esab gun. It was like 115/116 considering I’ve always seen this welder on sale for 100+ off I’d spend the extra and grab it. Really nice welding gun and the 5’ extra is nice. At least you can set the welder in the middle of a car or truck and go feont to back

having bought a linde 225 mig welder 40 years ago this fall (still have it too) and now retired and a bit tired of dragging 400lbs of welder in a shop that never seems to be large enough, i started to look into the modern state of the art mig, tig and plasma cutters.now i own 4 yeswelder products, the tig 250p (dc tig, stick welder), the tig 250p ac/dc (tig and stick ac and dc), the cut65ds plasma and (this review) the mig 250pro.it came well packaged, without dents or any other problems,packaged within was the base unit, 4 rollers, a nice torch with .035 contact tip and a graphene liner (used to mig aluminum using 5000 series wire)it did not come with a flowmeter/regulator, which i have a couple of from older machines, so not a problem for me, but remember if this is your first mig you will want to order a flowmeter (available on amazon for around $30. it also does not come with any wire, or the bottle of co2 or co2/argon mix gas, which you will also need (amazon offers both and amazingly they will deliver to your door).i started out with a 2.2 lb roll of e70-06 solid wire, and connected the bottle of gas from my old welder, and started to dink around with the controls which i find somewhat intuitive, newbies might do well to have some help from a friend (expert would help) or actually read the instruction manual (which is adequate and fairly well written)having used this machine to weld up a welding table, and a 4 unit welding cart, i am downright both amazed and impressed. while i am somewhat sure the unit will not get to 250amps output (never got to spray arc which my linde 225 will reach using .035 wire at about 90% of max output) i do believe it is capable of around 190amps on my 246 volt main voltage. 99% of all the welding i have done in the past and 100% of what i will be doing in the future can be handled with around 140amps max output, so the fact that the machine might not reach 250amps output is not a deal breaker for me, and frankly should not be a deal breaker for most folks.i have since switched over to the 11lb spool of .035 wire (E70-06) wire, so the total weight of the unit with wire probably is in the 40lb range which makes this thing very portable, save for dragging around a bottle of gas.the unit will run flux core wire for those without gas as well.overall an excellent unit, and i am hoping for a long life.
