Out of all the reviews I’ve watched this is definitely the best I’ve watched and this video is why I bought mine. This is the way videos should be. Straight to the point and no fancy stuff.

He said “ I don’t grind anything …. Cause I don’t really care” I like this guy

I have the same machine. works great. A little pointer for you. You should be leaning the rod 5 to 10 degrees in the direction of travel "drag, not push". It will improve your welds. A lot.

I've had mine for about 5 years, don't remember exactly why I picked this one, but I was pleasantly surprised how well it has held up. I have had sticking problems forever but that's my choice of rods, I didn't know which ones to buy. I do wish I had gotten a combo unit though. Was just on Deko's website and their combo choices are very slim.

We trained with mine at work to practice welding on steel plates, everyone seemed to love it.

Hi! Nice review!
I got the same machine and love it. Being an electrician I had to test the unit to how mutch amps it does really delivers compared to what the display is showing so while my son was welding, I clamped the whip lead with a klein cl800 clamp-on meter. The results were right on!
The only thing I would add is that on 120v, it does not go well over 90 amps, the machine will show over 90, but it’s not giving it. If you want it to be precise and powerfull, use 240v.
Some other brand I tested, Yeswelder I believe, had a technologie that adjusted the readings on 120v so you’d get the amps that it was set to, but I found the deko to be less stiky and better machine overall.
120v works well but you got to keep in mind the amps doesn’t go much over 95-96 amps, and display is off a bit. But on 240v it does go to a solid 160 amps and the display is spot on!
Hope it helps.

I just bought this machine and I'm pretty happy with it. This machine is absolutely capable of making pristine welds you just need to practice your technique more.

Great video! Glad to see that you and all the rest who have purchased this machine are happy with it. Not too often these days when one can score a real bargain.
One word of advice though is that you should be using a "drag" technique when stick welding, never "push".. The old saying of when it leaves slag, drag, still holds true. This will produce a more sound weld deposit. This also holds true for flux-cored welding.

Thank you for keeping it simple and straightforward. So much bs on others videos and I just wanted a simple good or no good. Appreciate it

[tangledline]

You are my kinda welder. Just get it done and make sure it works..beauty is just a plus if we are lucky.

I bought an even smaller stick welder from Amazon and I've been pretty impressed. Ghouzi mini 130A

I bought this machine a while ago to start practicing my scratch tig skills. Just got an argon tank and everything setup.

Nice video man. Looking for a cheap 110 arc welder for around the house, will definitely check this one out. One thing that will help you out, drag your rod, you never push stick or flux. Old saying, if there's slag, you must drag. Thanks for the video man!

[bayoutrapper]

Your bead would've turn out better in every way if you'd did one thing differently. Any time you're running a process that produces slag, you use a 5-15 degree drag angle on your rod or gun if it's flux-core. You gotta stay in front of your slag and it flattens out your bead, and gives more penetration With other processes that do not produce slag like mig or Tig you use a push angle. Just a tip from an old hand. Overall a good video and I'm looking at one of them little machines. Thank you for the review.God bless you brother.

Just ordered one on sale for 100 bucks thanks for the review you made my mind up for me ❤

[Nanogrip]

Thank you very much for this video. I was on the fence on purchasing one, and your take on this welder got me ordering it right now. Greetings from the tiny Pacific islands of Palau!

I've had mine for over 1yr. I'm not a pro but I'm welding on a Chevy truck frame doing restro
But no problems with it.

Try dragging the rod instead of pushing you can get slag entrapments

[philipfitzsimons]

Thanks for the video my old welder has given up. So I'm looking for a new one.looks like I found it.😊

[clintcowles]

I can't right this minute but I'm interested. I work for a poured wall company in northern Michigan. We recently did a lot of panel repair. Lots of heating and bending. Lots more welding. There is a Miller mig welder at the shop but....I brought in my own welder. The condition of the material called for SMAW. My Hobart stick mate is an 80 pound machine. This would be much easier to transport. Thank you for sharing your video. And, I promise to use your link.
