Great objective review! I appreciate that you have used it for several years (privately) and it is still operating well. To often many of the other welding channels review the machines right out of the box and as predicted they all work well ; lets see them 2 or 3 years later with some regular use. Reviewing a machine and purchasing a machine are two different experiences! Thanks again for your (credible) insights. Forget the subs, I'm interested in a genuine opinion..... not a commercial!

I have the same machine (2019 model) and have been using it for a year. It’s an excellent machine. I bought it bc I wanted a welder with analogue knobs so I can see what everything is set at at a glance. Built my own water cooler for it.

You did an outstanding job on this video. I learned quite a bit and you addressed all of my previous suspicions. I only fabricate art, furniture etc...nothing like your work which is incredible. Ive been saving for a Miller...but could buy an Everlast now. I had a Miller but my shop was broken into and they took everything. I will give Everlast a try as I have been getting by with my oxy setup which I had in the truck with me by chance the evening of the break in. Thanks again for your informative video. Best, Jay

I've had mine about 9 months now. It operates as advertised. I've put it through it's paces and i have no complaints. AC aluminium is a dream. Clean sheet or oil soaked cast aluminum is too simple with the adjustable settings. DC arc is nice and buttery. Stick is nice also. 6 switches and 14 dials was a bit of a learning curve. I can establish a puddle on 1/4 inch aluminum right now, no lingering. Boiling off impurities on dirtbike engine case cracks is very controllable. I mainly use the AC function but DC pulse features make thin sheet steel welding almost brainless. Get it.

I have set it up with several different torches, heavy duty air cooled and lite duty flexloc for small delicate work. Both lens & regular nozzles. I built a 3 level rolling cart that holds tank, power supply, torches, hood, filler rod, small tig tooling & accessories. One stop shopping all in one package that shoves out of the way in a corner.

Thanks for the great review! I went with the 256SI on your and afew other KZitemr reviews. There machine is flawless. After using a Simadre 3in1 for 10 years without issue (it basically paid for my Everlast), i had no reservations about buying foreign. I forwent the full digital version for the same reason I didn't buy the Miller DX- no patience. The knobs allow for very rapid adjustment of multiple parameters. Also, one bad circuit is more likely to disable the fully digital version whereas one broken knob means I can likely still use the machine pending repair. Also, if I bought the Miller used for twice the price, I would still have to buy the Miller plasma (used) for another $1,000= 2 welding carts instead of 1 ( I have Miller mig too). The plasma cuts so efficiently, it's difficult to keep up with. Stick welder leaves nothing to be desired. Tig welder- I can't imagine how it could be better... except for the knobs not having graduations. It's childish. Also, there's no reason why the value for each field doesn't display upon adjustment. It makes procedural repeatability impossible. 9/10.

I don't do alot if stick so i can't compare but my miller multimatic 215 seems to run better than the everlast, and it's not even rated to burn 6010. The other thing i would love to try is the low amperage tig on a dynasty. Ether way i want to support miller. Every time i call i get exceptional tech support within minutes. I feel if we don't support quality when we have the chance we will be left with crap. It's frustrating to see American name brands sell out we have to blame ourselves to some extent.

I had a Everlast at my work that after two year of use the board went out and then they sent it to be repaired. Came back after 6 months and it was like the voltage regulator went out. Everlast is garbage imo I just hooked up today a Powermig 350 that was being used to tack up . Took off the mig accessories and connected my tig torch to it. I didn't need the wirefeeder from it because I'm rocking a Miller Deltaweld 320 and spray arcing my beads just fine with that. I use to work for a bakery equipment manufacturer whom was also acquired by a heat exchanger manufacturer so I've done about a 100 hours of titanium. Mostly chrome alloy on that side, but the bakery side was way more metals to know how to weld from cast steel straight on up the chart of metals. You did very well on this video.

I am just in love with this machine if I had to describe with just one word it would be SMOOTH!!! A industry first to have AC tig in a mig tig stick multi process. And the tig torch is decent not a flex head but not bad. The mig gun could be a bit better but they are cheap enough to replace and still be a fraction of the price of Miller or Lincoln.

This dude didn't have his welder given to him. This is a 3 yr review and seems to be doing fine. I have owned a Lincoln power mig 255 and used Miller, esab, Hobart, and many more. I still own a Miller thunderbolt stick. I sold the power mig due to medical expenses. But welded daily for 15 yrs and on off for the last ten. There are plenty of benefits to owning a Miller or Lincoln if you have a fab shop and use them day in and day out. Not saying a everlast won't handle it because I think it will. I know everlast will take care of there customers. I only say that about Miller and Lincoln because any real welding supply can fix warranty replace even loan a welder for the Miller or Lincoln a little faster. But you could always buy two if you was worried about not having a replacement while it was being fixed. It would still cheaper and more machines always better. Also I agree that separate machines are a great way, even the best way to go if you have a fab shop or have room for them or a big budget for them. Of course I would have to spend 8 grand to get stand alone that do what a $2000 everlast will do. But you cant bash everlast for that. They sell standalone machines as well and you can get the red and blue machines in multiprocess as well. Dollar to dollar more bang for the buck with the green machine. Home hobbyists and even manufacturers and fab shops. They are not the rinky dink company you are trying to make them out for. They make large 3phase 300+amp machines. They also make invert generators. Oh and come on man as much as you trying to bash you for sure would of spoke up if you had a personal bad experience with them. SO YES I CALL BULLSHIT ON THAT. If you say you prefer Lincoln I respect that but tearing down someone else just because you prefer Lincoln again now that is childish. I like snap on tools but I am not giving $1800 for a tool box that is almost identical to a US GENERAL for $400 and does the exact thing just as good .I love American products but i am not going to pay 5 times the money for a product of equal or better quality.

I got it bought a on/off switch and breaker/reset button for the back of the machine and it works like a champ perfect addition for my machine shop at home. Great video and brother you could weld on anything I make. Most time machinist hate sending their stuff to the weld shop for fear of what it will look like.. That's not the case with you.

Think of the pulse as a heat/arc focusing feature. Slow pulse is a broad/wider heat affected zone. Faster pulse narrower heat/arc affected zone. The arc doesn't change shape. It's the heat that changes the size of the puddle. The lower amp side of the cycle allows you to keep the heat low enough to pre-warm, and when the higher amps kick in ,the puddle appears. That's a very simplistic explanation. The settings, percentage, speed, filler rod finesse, welding hand finesse, foot pedal finesse, travel speed, tungsten distance, and more, are the things needed to make pulse really shine. Start with the lowest pulse speed and 50/50 cycle of hi/low amps, and play with it. Filler rod Dabbing timing will be something to address, lay rod method can be interesting. I use slow pulse and lower frequency when I'm cooking off impurities on dirtbike engine cases where i don't want to burn through dirty cast metal. Higher pulse and frequency on cleaner metal because of less impurities to be cleaned. I may not have clearly articulated this but just play with it, you'll see a difference. I practice my settings on junked cast aluminum engine parts. Then i use those cast settings on clean bar stock and i can notice the difference in arc and puddle performance.

I own an Everlast plasma cutter and Everlast iMig 200. The only problem is if anything goes wrong you must ship it to the head office in SF for repair. So my img 200 went down and not one welding repair shop in this town of 1 million people will touch it. So I can spend $100 plus to ship it back and then another $100 plus to me when repaired. They told me the repair will be less then $700.00 but you can buy a new one for $650 on amazon prepaid freight. I really loved the machine so it hurts to buy a Hobart but if something goes wrong the local Airgas at least can repair it. I'm not faulting the machine, things break, but they really need to set up a dealer service network

Using your video to make the choice on my first welder. I have been trying to decided whether or not to get the Miller equivalent. Being that I haven't heard anything incredibly negative for the Everlast, I think having to buy new accessories is a minor negative when I consider that I'll save 1500+ over the Miller. My thought is that I'll just buy more machine than what I think need as a beginner so I don't have to buy a new machine every time I want to try something new.

I've been using this machine to earn a living so it's hard to find the time to send it out for the quoted 1 month plus to repair it.

I understand about neddings. If you are a freelance welder.. you must check your budget . but if you need to weld a high technology facility. You must select the best tools and equipment.. its essential for a quality task or job make sure you have the best quality means , equipment, tools , materials and staff. Its a very differents leagues . I personally operate a generic welder and two Esab-Tweco welders. and i can tell the difference between these welders. but i had to fight with the bank to obtain these welders.. its was worthy..

250 ex is still chugging along. No shortcomings at all. It works as advertised. I also got this model for the 14 knobs and 7 switches. I come from years of using an Airco 300. It's a heavy transformer power supply the size of a commercial washing machine. The 250 ex is an Analog looking and handling machine, but it's as digital and inverter as any other modern machine like the other guys. Don't listen to all the turd rollers with their "YEAH BUT..." comments. They are just regurgitating data that they've heard 3rd party. There is speaking from hands on knowledge, experience and intelligence. And then there's regurgitating other people's data, trying to sound smart.

@@rondumontier1187 I would just rock a long with the torch it comes with until it craps out unless you need or want a flex head. If you are not doing heavy welds and pushing it I think it will hold up well its a 17 air cooled 150 amps max.. I can't remember without looking it up but I think that machine is 165amp on tig. It might go to 200amp. But either way if you are not exceeding 150 it should last you a while. If you want something smaller but able to handle everything that machine can throw at it. Go water cooled and do a #20 . look up welding tips and tricks. The guy is amazing welder his name is Jody. He did a video on tig torches its almost 30min long. Watch that before you buy another torch. The mig gun I have mixed emotions on. It just feels kinda cheap. That and it is a short lead. Overall I think you will love it. Looks kinda intimidating but it is real easy to setup you got a lot of buttons and lights on it but you only use one feature at a time.

Well... il say this. I own a 211, its a 3 in 1. Mig tig stick. Yea its good. I hate the wp26 it came with. Il be switching that out for the small one. Immediately put gas lens on the torch. You'll thank yourself later. Which i see you have done. I used the same large diameter lens, cup too lol. You get wicked coverage for not being a furick cup lol. Stainless it comes out great. I don't have the pulse on mine. I only paid like 1100 or something for it, and I've never been disappointed. Now the only thing I regret is that its not ac. That wasn't a deal breaker but later I began to regret that because of all the work I had to turn down. Yea not cool lol. Anyhow if you're in the market for a good welder, don't be afraid of an everlast. They do work good, just spend the money on one that has all the features. Not the cheaper model like I got. Again it works great. I still would change out the mig, tig guns tho

Why buy a Neverlast for $1500 when you can get a Lincoln 200 tig for $1800. I had the 200DX neverlast; exact version of this machine; and it quit 30 days short of 5 years in the middle of trying to weld. My options were sending it to a guy in a farm house in eastern Tennessee and hope i get it back. And I pay $100 in shipping or take my hundred towards a Lincoln that (I did) welds beautifully without all the wacky knobs to twist. So go ahead and spend you money as you like but I've purchased over $4k in unrepairable chinesium welders and that ain't happening EVER again!
