I bought the Hobart 210 MVP about a year ago, and I love it, it has a dual plug setup for 220 or 110, I use gas and this machine makes me a better welder, not a good welder
Let me know what you decide to go with. Ive been in the miller 211 vs Hobart 210 boat for a few months now.
Not on voltage.On voltage too?
Miller has a new rebate out. 200$ back for a 211 and 200$ back for spending 200$ on miller acessories. I'll be putting an elite helmet and 211 on order on monday.
Also, newer miller and Lincoln inverters have a 10 year design life span.
This should not be overlooked. It's likely because of lead free solder on the boards, and essentially means that no matter how much you use (or don't use) the machine, it's likely to be garbage in 10 years. That goes for pretty much all consumer electronics nowadays -- if you turn it over and it has a little recycle symbol with a 10 on it, that's when you can expect to throw it away.
I'm assuming that's how some of the inverters made in Europe are claiming 25 yr life span? Better solder?
