Customer Reviews for VEVOR TIG MMA ARC Inverter Welding Welder Machine 200A 8.9kVA Portable Welder

For the money it’s a great starter welder! Have tigged and stick welded have zero issues with it

The machine worked fine for me. This machine is High Frequency start TIG. Don' know why people called it High Frequency, it should be called high voltage arc start because that's what it's; when you press the trigger, it generates high voltage pulses that could jump an air gap of about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch so you don't need to touch the work piece to start an arc, which make it really easy to start the arc and maintain it. For $144, I don't really know how they make any profit with this machine, which comes with tons of accessories and the machine itself has tons of components in side.

Good product. Can't beat it for the price.

works good

Muy bueno aunque no lo he usado porque le faltan cosas

Like:Hf start is reliable, spark gap comes pre-set and the unit appears to be tested and functions great out of the box.A minor nuisance is the "starting current" minimum appears to be 20A so although the arc starts without issue every time, you might struggle with very thin materials (razor blades, soda cans)Another minor nuisance is the "clean" setting as in "cleaning" or "penetration" or "ac balance" setting is in terms of Electrode Positive i.e. 5%-50%. Not bad per se just remember to calculate the inverse if you're copying settings from the internet. 65% on someone else's machine would be 35% on this machine. This is probably obvious but just subtract the number from 100 should get you pretty close.Sometimes the amperage output can be a little weird. The display will indicate 5A current but it seems like the current output decreases slightly after increasing the current while welding. Sometimes the machine seems to be delivering less current than the display indicates. This could be a combination of things. Technique, particularly the distance between the work and the tungsten electrode seems to lessen the impact quite a bit.Otherwise the machine is excellent so far, has been great with up to 14awg aluminum sheet on 120v input.Dislike:None of the included accessories were useful except the included gas hose and tig torch body.Accessory specifics:Handheld face shield isn't very useful for tig welding, maybe stick. It and the wire brush are standard accessories that are usually included with welders but you're probably going to want to buy an auto-dark helmet and a decent set of wire brushes.Argon regulator was good quality but has Cga-320 fitting. Will not fit a standard CGA-580 gas bottle fitting. You would need to purchase a Cga-580 To Cga-320 Adapter unless your bottle has that fitting. Maybe I'm in the minority but I've never seen that fitting on argon welding bottles.Tig torch is a standard WP-26 torch.Mine came with a #6 cup and 3/32 collet installed. Tung

The welder works great especially for the price. Although if you plan on using a foot pedal don't count on the one that comes with it. It is on/off only and seems very cheap. With that being said you can make it work just fine without a foot pedal since you can adjust upslope and downslope, along with pretty much every setting you can adjust on higher end units.

I am a professional welder and have bought many welding machines for my work. It is one of the best machine which I have owned.

I have bought it for half a year, first I was a little unkown how to opearate it.However I emailed the customer service and they reply immediately and gives me many suggestions.Finnally it works expeed my expectations. Thanks!

Before I made the order, I looked through Amazon and Ebay. Finnally I chose Vevor and bought from them. I received it in two days and in good package.When I opened it, I was satisfied with it and no damage.
