YESWELDER 250A MIG Welder, 110V/220V Dual Voltage 6-In-1 Welding Machine | MIG,Pulsed MIG,Flux Core,Spool Gun MIG,Lift TIG,Stick, clear digital display, efficient setup, aluminum weldable

I’ve been putting together a metal building with this welder. Started off welding these columns I had. Half inch thick to half inch thick base plates. Put a bevel on them cranked Welder up to 26 1/2 V. Using flex core because I’m outside in a windy condition didn’t have any problems. Have been using it for about three months now ran about 25 pounds of wire through it. All of a sudden the wire feed quit. Went through all the troubleshooting no help. I called customer service. They gave me some other ideas. Still no wire feed. They asked for some videos which I sent. They determined something faulty went wrong and said they were gonna send me a new one. Keep the old one. Took about three or four days to get the situation handled. I’m gonna take the old one apart when I get a chance and see if I can figure out what happened to the wire feed. I mean, it just quit in the middle of a weld. If I can’t fix it at least I got extra parts for the new welder or if I can’t fix it I got an extra back up Welder. I’ll give an update on the original Welder when I get a chance. Other than that, the welder worked great I’ve been just using it in the manual mode because the automatic setting mode runs a little bit hot. I wouldn’t call myself a professional welder, but for the last 50 years, I have built numerous projects with stick and mig welders. Mainly using Lincoln products. This Welder was really easy to set up. The only bad thing I could say is the welding clamp was one of them cheap ones, but they all come with the same thing. I bought a heavy duty brass one. Also the power cord it comes out of is only a 12 gauge cord. I’m running a 50 amp breaker with 6 AWG SOOW extension cord that I got from prime weld which by the way is a hell of an extension cord. Anyway, the cord comes out of the welder gets a little bit warm if I’m welding a lot of really thick stuff. I got an 8 awg cord that I’m going to a fit to the new Welder. I hope it doesn’t void the warranty. Other than that, this Welder does everything that I have asked for. At the time I bought it it had $120 discount coupon with it so I only paid about $450. I also bought their plasma cutter 65. When I took it out of the box, I tested it on a piece of scrap three three-quarter inch steel. It was a messy cut, but it cut it. Cutting half inch is pretty clean. It easily cuts 3/8 pretty fast. Now I was using a 220 the whole time. I had to go cut some steel for a friend one day and we only had a 110 generator so I will say using the 110 does work but on using the 220 it works a lot better. But back to the 250 Pro I really like this Welder and if I had to buy another one, I would. Especially since the warranty and customer service was so great. I mean for the price I paid if I weld with it every day with this thing and burned it up within a year warranty I guess they would’ve just sent me another one. So if you’re just hobby Welder or a small shop, Welder, I would definitely recommend this Welder. I mean if you go buy a Miller, you’re gonna spend 2000+ dollars.

Great welder!!! Have had it over a year now and it does everything as advertised. However the trigger switch has had to be taken apart and cleaned a couple of times which is kind of hard to do. It is a pretty cheap switch. But other than that it welds really nice and the duty cycle has been more than what I need and it is 100% duty cycle at 193 amps which can do most of the welding I need. all in all it is a great welder and has never let me down

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

Alright so this is gonna be a very honest reveiw, i am a welder, i do this for a living, i bought the mct-520 from YESWELDER, it didnt have enough power to push .030 e71t wire without stuttering, it just couldnt do it efficiently, i do stick, fluxcore, and tig both at work and home. Now i sent my mct-520 back and got this one because of the higher amperage duty cycle, figured maybe it could handle it better, i have a stick and tig welder at work but wanted a flux core for pipe repair and thin stuff thats extremely dirty, i used the same wire, the same mb24kd mig gun on both, and this one ran amazing, its super smooth, very powerful, better than the esab rogue i have at work, which is saying something, i use it for all 3 processes, now for the fluxcore im running hobart e71t-11 .030" wire, and this thing hasnt bird nested on me even once, its smooth, its consistent, i used it just yesterday welding rails on a mezenine for about 8 hours worth of welding, i also built a 3 ton hoist with this thing and it was good. I run mine on 220, i dont use 110 even at home, i have a 220 outlet i hooked up for it, itll run stick like a champ too, i mean honestly i can run a 1/8" 7016 rod as low as 70 amps, i ran some 5/32" e308l16 rods the other day bridging a 2 inch wide hole in a machine plate at around 70 amps and it did it very well. So i am extremely pleased with the output quality of this machine, and the build quality is very nice too, the only thing i dont like is the euro style connector for the mig gun, its not bad, but its not nearly as durable as the tweco style american mig connectors, so it can bend easily if hit, but besides that, the machine itself is really well built, i work in a concrete plant for quickrete by the way im a fabricator, so this thing is used in an extremely dusty dirty harsh environment and its holding up well.

Bought this welder to finish a set of custom jack stands for a classic car. I attempted to use it to weld 2x2x.250 thick mild steel tubing as well as sections of 2x2x.125 thick mild steel tube. I am not new to welding and have used other brands of machines including Miller, Lincoln, Forney and Vulcan brand welders. This welder had several issues and I cannot say that it operated consistently enough to trust it for my purposes. Issue #1: would not feed ANY brand of .30 MiG wire or .35 for that matter. I tried Lincoln, Forney, and Vulcan brand. No matter how I adjusted the tension it would sputter and eventually bird nest. Ruined several 2 lbs spools. The design of yes welder spool tensioner is terrible. The spring barely provides any tension on the spool, this is combined with defective axle bolt which is also loose and flimsy. Any adjustment to the Wheel tension to compensate for this tension system would not help. Issue #2: Inconsistent Gas coverage. This is perhaps the most serious fault of this welder and caused me to ask for a refund. The first weld beads I ran with the welder looked perfect, gas coverage was sufficient and I was impressed with the power of the welder. That seemed to last only for a few runs. Every run I attempted after this point caused severe issues with gas coverage. It seems the gas solenoid is defective. It sputters and the weld beads would not wet in and fuse with the metal. I checked everything, gas leaks at my valve, ground clamp. The weld bead bubbled and did not fuse with the metal. I’ve never seen this issue with other welders I used. It seemed like the gas solenoid cut off gas at intervals and caused incomplete fusion of the filler metal to base metal. I cannot say that I would trust this welder for future projects. I requested a refund and hope the company reaches out. I was hoping this was a fluke. But I just had too many issues with this machine. Never encountered these issues with my other machines. Just does not run well.

Overall very happy with the welder. Lays down a good bead and was easy to set up. Instruction manual could have used some work but lots of info online to help get it set up. Yes even has a video on set up that helped the most. I initially had the postive/minus reversed and was welding caterpillars. The settings decal they give is very hot. I immediately got concerned it was an overrated welder when i saw 250 amps and max the welder out for 1/4"(which is what I weld most of). I tried it and the plate was glowing when I got done. I looked at the Miller App(its great btw) and realized it had voltages/amps/wire speed. I initially missed it had voltages. I then adjusted down to that and didn't get quite good penetration. I upped it about 1/2 volt from Miller and sped up the wire a tick(that was easy, could tell it didn't sound right) and it is welding great. Someone else on Facebook said the miller app is money for the 250 Pro. For mine it isn't...so I'm guessing the low cost components vary from welder to welder a bit. Just have to adjust but a good starting point on mine is the top end of what miller says. It appears you could likely weld 3/8 w/o much issue with this. I don't know if the 250 Pro is 'overrated' like their older 250 versions that I've seen several bad reviews on(claim only capable of 180 amps barely)...but it welds 1/4 like a pro(I'm an amateur) and I can't complain. I have work to do but am laying pretty nice beads right now. Just have to hone in my process. I'd say this works great for heavy stuff. Haven't done much thin stuff. Cons of this welder that I saw online before it even arrived. Yes should just upgrade the clamp to a forged or whatever Hobart style. Saw them for 15 bucks at Harbor Freight. I cut the cheap ground clamp off mine and put the new Hobart one on and its great...I don' tknow what a cheap clamp does but for 20 bucks after I put it on the welder seemed to wake up. I also saw someone complain the gas hose fittings were not standard. I threaded the one that came with it right in to my Victor regulator I bought at LInde Gas...and it worked great.(Still deciding if there's a small leak...just got a new cylinder so I"ll be making sure its air tight). If you're on the fence...I'd be hard pressed to believe you can get a better welder for the money. I haven't tried Tig or Stick. I could see trying Tig but doubt I ever do anything with the stick. Grumpy that this thing went on sale a week after I ordered it for 25 bucks less. I did order the 4 yr replacement plan on it from Amazon just to be safe. I'll use it for projects like Rock Sliders and such for off roading. A couple projects a year likely.

I can't believe this welder works this well!! If you're looking for the best value this is the machine to go with! It works better than the $1500 miller machine I tried before this one.

Chose this machine as it will do most of the jobs I'm likely to take on in the near future. Was pleased with how well it worked on the first job that I used it for. Flux-core welding some thin 1/2" tubing. I've done stick, mig, and gas welding & brazing for years but have never used flux core. I'd heard good things about Yeswelder wire, so got a 10 lb spool of that to try. Welder worked flawlessly and the project was completed successfully. Very little spatter and good clean welds. (just remember to set your electrode polarity to negative when using flux core) Before using it for a real job, I ran some test beads and a couple joints on some 11g steel to get a feel for it and to try some different setting. They all turned out good. Looking forward to trying it with other materials and processes. I can carry it in one hand, even with cables attached and 10 pounds of wire in it, so quite portable. You get an assortment of tips, rollers, and a Teflon liner for mig welding aluminum. I added a flux core gasless nozzle to replace the mig nozzle for a better view of the work. The manual leaves a lot to be desired, being long on warnings about how not to burn or electrocute yourself and short on the plethora of setting available to you. If you are a beginner, get yourself a good welding book and watch a lot of videos. It's actually a fairly easy machine to use in synergic mode but lots of setting to dial it in in manual mode. You'll also need 50amp power. Not a problem for me as both my shop and generator will run it fine, but if you have a 4 prong outlet, order an adapter. There is a switch inside the spool compartment that shuts off the wire feed mechanism. If your machine won't feed initially, check the position of the switch. Only used it for a few hours over one weekend so far, but I like what I'm seeing initially. I wish I'd had this machine when I was a teen learning to weld.

Seems like a great, affordable welder to replace my Millermatic 211. I've not been happy with my 211 ever since it was new ($2500 CAD!). In automatic mode the 211 just struggled to operate smoothly compared to an older one it replaced, so I've been looking for a replacement for a long time. After seeing several reviews of the Yeswelder mig-250 pro by real, professional welders, I decided to get one at a fraction of the cost of the Millermatic 211, and capable of way more, and at a higher duty cycle. So far I'm quite impressed. I will only be using MIG in synergic mode, and it works very well. I set the wire feed speed according to the chart to stat with and let it run the voltage itself. On very thin metal it's way better than the 211. With thin steel and contaminants, the 211 would often spit and hesitate, leading to some very ugly blobs. No such problem on the MIG-250 Pro. Can fill holes and gaps, penetrates well without burning through too badly. Occasionally the wire will vaporize in a flash while starting, but that was the only issue I found on the thin stuff. Welded through paint and dirt much better than the 211. On heavier steel it worked well. I ran it up to maximum wirespeed on 3/8" steel bar and it laid a very nice bead that seemed to penetrate well. This is all with synergic mode which works well for me. I did briefly try stick welding with it and it had no issues but I'm no stick welder. Some time I plan to adapt my Miller 300 spoolgun to work with this welder and give pulse mig a try on aluminum. I've only found a few things I don't like about the welder. Loading the wire and feeding it into the wire feeder is very awkward, due to where the feeder is positioned. The spring tensioner on the spool axle wasn't on very tight and the manual says nothing about tightening it, but it definitely needs to be set right to get the proper tension on the wire and prevent the spool from unwinding when you stop welding. The grounding clamp is rubbish. Plan to buy a good clamp and throw this one away. Finally I didn't really like the stick welding hand piece. It has pretty good strength to grip the rod, but the shape and width of the clamping surface isn't ideal in my opinion. If you plan to do much stick welding, consider replacing it with a good stinger, perhaps one of those ones you twist to tighten up on the welding rod. Despite that giving it 5 stars because it's a fantastic welder at an unbelievable price. If after a year or two I start seeing problems with quality I'll adjust my review.

I got to say, that was not the welder I wanted to buy from the getgo, but I figured I could sell it to a friend if it lasts and proves itself when I'm ready to upgrade. I was aiming for the Prime Weld 285 mig, which is 1000 USD, but living in canada (CAD) AND add to it the shipping costs; you're looking at least at 2000$. The Yeswelder model has lower specs, not 4 rollers, can't take a full sized spool, so I was really hesitant, but in my case, TIG is more my thing and I already have the machine for it. Mig/fluxcore is a faster process (I know, "Duh!"!) and it's also a matter of practicing and seeing if I use it enough to ever need to upgrade. The 250 mig pro is light, doesn't take much space, of course. The ground lead and stinger too are light. I have a small "toaster" smaw welder on which those are heavier for the same length cables, which makes me believe Yeswelder ships aluminium cables coated to look copper (?)... Haven't cut through them to check (not my thing to damage my things), and I already have functional copper stinger and ground cables, so I figured I don't need to complain (though the information could be important for those wondering), as I already own the upgrade "parts"... That being said, the stinger with the Yeswelder seems cheaper than most, in the sense that the grooves/teeths in the brass jaws are less pronounced that most, like rounded/less detailed/shallower AND it looks like the plastic around those jaws was molded directly around them, as said plastic seems to have ridges melted around the edges of the jaws. Not in a manner that makes it look like it was misused or used prior to shipping to my door, but the finish seems lacking on this detail. Then again, it's a mig welder, so I'm pretty sure they threw a stinger in the box for good measure, but put the budget on the machine, which is appreciated, as, in my case, as said above, I already have replacements. Of course, I only had the machine for over a week, so only time will tell and I'll edit the review if need be, but I was pleasantly surprised! I only tested it on flux core GS wire for now (for those wondering, -GS is single pass VS -11 which is multiple pass; look it up before buying wire, so you know what to buy for your situation/projects), but I was able to make good first-in-a-long-time (2021) vertical uphill passes as a test on flatbars I tacked to form an angle and stuck in a vise. I'm more used with tig, and trying to find the right configuration for WFS/V isn't my forte, but the suggestions the machine makes while in synergy mode aren't bad to find a ballparc, and the machine IS forgiving, so you can play around with it. I used 0.035 wire. For the specs of the machine, VS the price, what it can do for now, for me, is far more than I could have hoped from this little machine, especially considering the number of people reminding others that "you get what you pay for"... So I'm happy it hasn't turned into an horror story! Speaking of which! If amazon gives you the option, do ask for a box over the box. The reasonning is that I was lucky; the machine was in pristine condition, but the box itself did take a beating and was just taped back lazily, so much so that I was sure the machine itself would be all banged up. It wasn't. But it could have been worse. Not Yeswelder's fault, but just the shipping prossess itself and the "luck" variable put together. When I started using the machine, everything went smooth. The spatter is minimal and really easy to remove. I only scrape it lightly with my chipping hammer without needing to hit anything, brush a little, voilà! For those with incredibly hard/prominent spatter, maybe it's the machine, OR, which is much more common on these machines : your polarity is wrong. Remember : People tend to see flux core only machines as a negative, as in "I ONLY have a flux core machine", as in the imply they would want to upgrade. That's one way of remembering you should put the machine's polarity in negative when welding with flux core, and positive polarity with mig (gas). I did say before I was pleasantly surprised. Guess what? I noticed I forgot to change the tip from .8 to .9 before testing the machine. It pushed the wire through it like a champ and welded anyway! Changed the tip, OH how much better! Then guess what? I encountered the same problem someone else was talking about in their review! The thing about the wire cutting itself (melting, but it was really small) just after the roller, just before entering the whip. But before complaining (and here, if you ever read this, "someone else", I'm not calling you a fool; just try and see if it was the case on your machine), I searched the net a bit. You see, I hadn't welded with mig or flux core in a long time, and had forgotten how to adjust proper tension on the roller. It turns out if the roller tension is too high, you're squashing --deforming-- the wire, especially flux core! The tension was set to around 3 (around the middle). You know you have the right tension when the machine can push the wire through the tip and you can't stop it with your fingers. As a test, I unscrewed the tension lever completely, threaded enough so I'd be sure it doesn't slack itself off (unthread itself) and, for good measure, tightenned just a bit more; I'm directly on the 1. Rollers for flux core are knurled, so it bites into the flux core wire and, at 1, you're not stopping it with your fingers without bending it. So 1 is enough at least for flux core. Guess what? even without being able to physically see if the wire was squashed before (it's so tiny), I can feel it comes out much better and welds hotter, now, on the same exact settings! I thought it worked well before adjusting the tension, now it's more like a dream! You're going to tell me I never owned a mig welder before and that therefore I can't compare and, of course, last time I used one was long ago... I get that, but the last time? It was welding school and I passed the whole class. Was I the best? no! Meaning I did spend a lot of time practicing again and again with those machines and got to understand how to use them (meaning I spent a lot of time redoing the exercises, welding even more so than you would by doing the whole project you want to buy your machine for). It just so happens that I worked in a TIG shop since then. I was afraid I had "lost the hand" on mig, but that thing, that 250 mig pro gives me hope. I'll stay on flux core for a while until I know I'll use it often enough to want gas, and as said above, I'll update if my appreciation for the machine changes, but not only does it work better than I thought and then some, even without the test of time, I'm confident in that new machine on which I was able to encounter --and solve (at least for now, but still)-- the one thing in the comments that made me doubt about it. I'm not paid for saying any of this. I'm just really surprised and eager to use it more! Don't hesitate if you're in the same situation as I am, or in any situation where you aren't sure; you're testing a machine and your abilities, and if it lasts, you get to know if you want to keep it or sell to a friend and upgrade, but either for you or your friend, it seems it will serve well. Have fun!

I have the yes welder ARC205 stick and lift tig machine and love it. No issues. So I bought the MIG250Pro. It arrived earlier this month and I didnt have a chance to fiddle with it until yesterday, only to find the wire wont feed. I pull the trigger and it clicks something in the machine but the drive wheel does nothing. Searched for a good couple hours for answers and customer service wasnt helpful Still within return window so started that process and then bought another one, hoping it was just a one-off. Lucky for me it seems that way. New one arrived today, rollers are rollin and all is well (for now). Ran a couple passes, found the machine needs some more juice. My generator was tripping out some when I tried to run the higher settings for fluxcore. Oh well, I can fiddle with it and adjust

A professional welder good for shop use. The weld quality is very good and the welder itself looks very nice. Not my first welder I’ve had, but definitely and without competition the best welder I have ever had. Multi processes work well, you can use tig, spool gun, flux core, stick welding and gas mig welding. Well worth the price and beats the competitors without being overpriced.

The specs for this welder are amazing better then the other big brands out there. I’ve been welding since I turned 15 and bought a MigPak 10. 25 years later, I now get to retire the old girl. I have been eyeing up the all the other big brands for many years wanting to upgrade. I couldn’t except buying the other welders in 200amp or more range with such low duty cycles. When I saw this unit with 100% @ 193amps I was sold. I had to write a review I was so excited when I opened the box and set it up. I only had 035 flux core at my disposal so I swapped the roller for the knurled 0.9 and loaded it in. Turned it on EN and grabbed a chunk of scrap 3/16 and laid my first bead. Trying the synergic mode first set the current 95A I gave it go. First impression I was so pleased. Ran smooth with little to no splatter but a bit cold. Turned it up on the next two passes. 110amps mint love it. I’m waiting on the spool gun and regulator to show up and I’ll try out the aluminum and solid wire and report back. Update unit died after 5 hours of use. Welded till I ran out of my 2lb wire spool (welds were great). Shut unit off. Next day bought more wire and unit no longer turned on. Returned unit.
