I picked the folding one (FX30) up about six months ago. I was going to make one, but I got it on sale while Miller was having a mail-in rebate for it. Got it for about $185. It's been well worth the money. I don't weld with the need for a table often so I really wanted to save the space. I...

I had them build a 60x30 for me and it turned out great. They put it up really quick too. I recently moved and my new property also has a CB structures pole barn on it and it seems just as well built as my last one. I also have a family member who had them build a pole barn recently and they...

I went through a few plastic reels before finally getting a Rapid Reel (2 wheel cart that holds 100'). Yes it was on the expensive side, about $200, but after the plastic reels... I felt it was money well spent. I've had one for about 6-7 years, kept outside even during winter (I would try to...

Congrats on the great purchase! I've had my Miller 211 since April of 2009. It's been a great machine that has allowed me to do so many projects and repairs. You're going to love it. I say go for the cart first and be sure to post some pics.

I can give you another vote of confidence on the Miller 211. I've had mine for just over a year now and it's been great. The ability to use it on 110v or 220v is what sold me and it's been a nice option to have. I've used it on a lot of repairs and projects for the garage and house and it...

Yes, I did a bunch last night and they all turned out great.

Mine is holding up great. I'm also just a hobbyist, but I've used it quite a bit. Actually just used it last night on weatherpack terminals and insulated terminals. The dies switch out quick and easy and the thing makes great crimps every time. Will be using it again tonight and much of this...

I just replenished my garage stock with a few pairs today. After having many that seemed to want to just fall off my face I came across the Uvex Genesis. They fit me great and have since been using the Uvex Genesis XC which provide a little more coverage. I get a few pairs of the regular...

I think you'll really like the 211. I've had mine since April and have used it quite a bit. It has performed really well. I don't have the spool gun yet but it's on the list. The option to plug it into 110 was a big selling point for me as well, however I've only welded in my shop on 220 so far...

You can get a Miller 211 and get both in one machine. I've had mine for about 7 months now. Great welder, I'm usually running 220 since it's in my garage, but it's great being able to take it somewhere that only has 110v.

I've had one since April. I'm not a professional, just your average backyard welder. It was the first welder I bought, but I have used a few others in the past. It's been great so far and has helped me complete some projects and repairs. One of the features that sold me was that it easily...
