I've got the 220, and an infinite voltage setting would be nice, if they make such a thing.Step up to a 220V and have the best of both.
I feel for a mig welder the two knobs is all the bells and whistles a person really needs.
No kiddin, I bought my Lincoln 200 square wave tig about 6 years ago and now they're $1000 more.Price has risen quite a bit since I got mine which is unfortunate.
Broad question, highly dependent on what you expect to do with it.Any suggestions on a good mig welder? I have a hobart 140 but would like to find something with a little more voltage control and maybe a bell or whistle or two and I'm really not sure what's out there.
Jody is very good. No nonsense drama.welding tips and tricks website really good info
I bought that PP220MTS last winter. I have a Millermatic 250 with a spool gun but I wanted to experiment with the pulse MIG. It takes some getting used to and is different from short circuit that most of us are used to. Also to take advantage of the pulse and spray you need C-8 or C-10 gas mix instead of the C-25 most of have used for years with short circuit. The PP220 does have short circuit programs and all the programs are highly adjustable. The HTP will TIG (DC only) if you buy the TIG torch set up and foot pedal. I don't plan to do that because I have 2 other AC/DC TIG machines. The HTP is good quality, heavy duty (24) MIG torch, nice work lead with a heavy duty ground clamp.Don't know what your budget is but this is a very nice machine for a lot less than what Miller or Lincoln would charge. Synergic pulsed MIG. It will do a lot of things conventional MIG's can't. I plan to get one when I can afford it.
Pro Pulse™ 220 MTS
We are currently including the Optrel Neo P550 Panther helmet and a pair of gloves with the purchase of any welder (while supplies last).

That Hobart was the choice of a friend of mine until I pointed out the difference was the synergic Autoset function of the Miller 211. More money but he liked that the machine would set wire speed according to metal thickness (voltage). He doesn't weld often and that function is super easy. If it's too cold or hot raising or lowering the thickness knob changes the wire speed with it. More money for the Miller though.The sister machine to the Miller 211 is Hobart 210 handler. A 110/220 mig. It took me from I welded it to a welder Ha Ha Oh I run solid ,023 wire with 75/25 gas
