Everlast Power ITig 200 DC Stick TIG Welder 110v/220v

For less than $600 and free shipping I could not be happier with the Power ITig 200.I have not used this machine for long, but I am very impressed thus far. The machine arrived quickly and the box was in perfect condition. No damage to the welder.Pros: Wired a new 220V 30 amp circut to my garage. Turned it on and it worked perfectly. Lots of adjustments and controls.Cons: The manual that is comes with is not much. Go online and download the real pdf manual from Everlast's website. Doesn't come with much in terms of a starter kit, but what do you expect for this low of a price?I spent probably $100 on tungsten, welding wire, collets and cups. Another $75 on wiring my garage. Bought an Argon tank. My total out of pocket was about $1000 to be ready to weld.Will most likely upgrade to a smaller 125 amp torch with a more flexible cable sometime in the future to work on smaller projects. For the time being the 200 amp torch works just fine.

The one I received was different from what was advertised, also it is not good for aluminum. I talk to someone that has the same unit supposedly and they said they can weld aluminum. I think mine is not built correctly if that is the case, wrong diodes or whatever inside of it. I had for a decent amount of time before trying aluminum so I don't think there is any chance getting my money back. I hooked it up to 220 for you out there thinking I just didn't get the correct amps, well I did end up seeing on YouTube that it would not work for a guy also who is a outstanding and reputal welder.

I have the misfortune of owning two Everlast products. Bought at the same time. The Mig Failed within 2 months and now the 1 year old plasma system has also failed. Support is hit or miss. They both now make excellent door stops. Both have been replaced by solid reliable Miller Systems.Buying a USed miller would be a better choice then a new Everlast

Nice machine for value. Dc makes smooth arc start and tig welding is stable. Electrode holder is not that great, I switched the holder out with a tweco. And an upgrade to a gas lens is another plus.

I was really impressed by this little machine... it welded thin stainless like a champ with the pulse feature... ran a great 7018 bead... I bought the connectors to be able to plug my tig rig in and used a dryer cord and bought an outlet to give me an extra 6 ft. Other than that this machine is perfect right out the box... i personally do not like the stinger that came with it but the tig rig is ok... I plan on using it to practice pipe welding on schedule 40 and 80 pipe and I don't think I will have any problems handling it with this machine...

Shipped and arrived on time.The machine is great. Have taught myself how to TIG weld with it and am very good. Even only using the 110v power supply I can weld 3/8 mild steel without any issues as long as I prepare the area and hold the torch correctly. The only thing I regret is not looking into a unit with an A/C output option, but for the price I am not too worried about it. This machine is at home in my small shop, I feel this took my capabilities to a whole new level.

I was very skeptical when looking into these because I've been blessed with high end millers and Lincoln's, water cooled torches and foot pedals but I wanted a tig at home. Packaging was great. Now for the cons. The torch and electrode holder are pretty cheap. Never had I used a screw type electrode holder and I'm still not a fan. The tig torch itself isn't bad but the cable is EXtremely stiff and hard to work with. And if you plan to run this off an older generator, think twice unless it's an inverter style generator. These are very sensitive to voltage fluctuations. Other then that, it is the best money spent and I will be buying another everlast multiprocess as soon as possible before their prices go up.

I have been using this welder in a busy gun shop for 2-3 years. It gets used daily but I seldom have the arc going for over 30 seconds. I am welding on guns and must keep the heat load in the metal low. So I have no Idea how the machine will hold up doing long continuous welds.The argon gas cut off valve is very prone to sticking open. I know a number of folks with these machines and eventually they all start doing it. A sharp mild smack to the left rear side of the welder un-sticks it. However, get used to checking for gas after flow or it will run out your entire talk in a few hours. ALWAYS shut off your gas bottle when you quit welding for more than a few minutes. This is good practice anyway.I was a dealer for these for about a year. For the price they are wonderful machines. Considering the price you may have issues. I quit being a dealer on these due to less than wonderful ethics on the part of the importer. I also sometimes had difficulty getting any satisfaction on warranty issues. They were great at times and uncooperative at others.Would I recommend these - yes. I am recommending that a family member get one. Buying it through Amazon is good protection if you do have an issue with the "home office".
