Primeweld 225
I have been stick and wire feed welding for a couple of years, but this is the first tig welder that I have bought. There is a ton of hype about this machine online and from everything I have seen so far it delivers. It comes with almost everything you need to get going besides filler material and shielding gas. Pretty cool that it comes with a CK 17 torch too. I have run it some on 120 volts and it welds fine, but once you go near the max amperage for 120 volts it trips a breaker for me. I have a dedicated heavy duty 20amp 120V outlet, which it was plugged in to at the time. Primeweld does note in the manual that you need a 30amp breaker to run on 120. But not a big deal at all because I always run it off 240 with a 50amp breaker. I’ve gone through a bottle and a half of argon (175cf tank) since I have had it. Welds aluminum great as well as steel. I haven’t gotten to any SS yet, but I hope to. I have stick welded quite a bit on this machine too. Mine easily runs 6010 no problem. I have also run 7018, 7024, 6011 and 6013. The manual only talks about it running 6013, but I think they are just trying to be conservative and not overstate things; especially when skill levels vary. Anyways, yeah for the price, it is phenomenal. The foot pedal is super robust too, but it also comes with a switch for hand control as well. The only negatives I can think of are that it does not do lift tig, which isn’t that big of a deal at all for me and the ground clamp isn’t great, but its far from the worst. I replaced the ground clamp the same day to a much more robust one. If you’re doing tons of stick I would replace the stinger too. It’s not the greatest, but again not the worst.

I researched this welder (comparing it to other Tig welders) for over a year. Any large purchase, such as this, I take very seriously and don't want to have buyers remorse, if/when I can avoid it.
The biggest point in this review is to tell you, YES, THIS WELDER IS WORTH IT, after a month-ish of owning it, I can now say that I do not have buyers remorse and have been very happy with it. I have put it through 3 full argon tanks of welding (without any argon leaks).
One of the worries I had, prior to purchase, was that I would have an issue and wouldn't be able to get decent customer service. I purchased myself this welder so I could teach myself to Tig weld.
One Sunday night I ran into an issue, it was total operator error and my fault, and pulled up the website for primeweld, and input my information in to receive customer service. I knew that it was a weekend, they were closed, and expected an email (hopefully) in the next 24-48 hours. The next day, Monday, my phone rang at 7am (central time). I accidentally answered, thought it was a telemarketer, and hung up. An hour later, the same number called. It was the primeweld customer service rep, who was repeatedly attempting to reach me, to resolve the issue I wrote them about. I explained it was my own error, and apologized for wasting their time, and they were super nice and understanding.
They had every reason to give up contacting me after I hung up on them (unknowingly). They tried, and most people would have given up at that moment. This guy/company DOES WHAT IT TAKES TO TAKE CARE OF HIS CUSTOMERS, EVEN AFTER SELLING THE ITEM.
TLDR-the primeweld customer service is fantastic.
Like I said, I've been teaching/taught myself how to Tig weld (have not done stick welding with it). I have done steel and aluminum, 1/8" down to 22gauge. The machine and it's abilities far surpass my own current abilities, and I have a feeling it'll be a number of years until I'm close to outgrowing this welder. I've been so happy and impressed with the process of Tig welding, and the actual welder itself, I highly doubt I will ever use my mig welder again.
The first Tig project I did, to learn, was building the cart that it's sitting on in the picture. It's held together great. This welder has definitely helped me, making it easier to learn Tig welding than machines with confusing menus. I haven't ran into an adjustment I needed but didn't have.
Oh, THIS WELDER INCLUDES AN ACTUAL INSTRUCTION MANUAL. it's not just an assembly instruction, it gives specific detailed information (57 pages) for people that are clueless and learning, like I was, and I was able to successfully teach myself to Tig weld steel and aluminum using the provided manual and google/YouTube. I included a picture of the manual with the review.
I wasn't paid for this review, I wasn't given a discount for it, I spent my own money and paid full price. I'm serious when I say that I don't currently have a complaint about this welder. I'm genuinely impressed and overall happy with this, and would 100% purchase again if I could go back.
