The welder works as advertized. Easy to strike an arc and to maintain. Adequate penetration up to 1/4" plate if you prepare the weld area properly by grinding a taper for a good root pass.

Great little welder for those quick jobs that might come up here and there, I used it to build some shelving racks and the penetration was really good. The only downside is the dial numbers and the screen numbers don't match up but that's easy enough to look passed.

This welder is a great little machine. Ran 1/8” 6011 and 6013 with it on 1/4” plate and it worked great! Duty cycle was much longer than I expected. Good machine if your looking to get into stick welding well worth the coin.

Hot start works phenomenal arch control is great! Fires right up even the hard stuff 7018 ran 3/32 on 1/4" plate no problem wt out sticking at all. Highly impressed wt this little machine! This thing cook's no doubt that it's running the true amperage, super strong! Very pleased! Did not trip 20amp breaker 120V will be recommending! Looking forward to not sticking anymore & having to have a pc of trash metal to get my rod hot so it won't stick, thank you Hone! Pic attached is first weld wt new machine not a professional only a cpl months in but this machine is gonna make life so much easier..

FOR $100.00 BUCKS, you can't go wrong. I welded 1/4in to 3/8in no problem running it 220/240v with my generator using E6011. Running 110/120v is nice. Just make sure you have a dedicated 30amp breaker. If not you will pop it if you go over 100amps. Runs well other wise. The stinger is junk, I changed mine to a hobart. Def a good welder for the shop, hobbyist, DYI, beginner, etc. Very light weight ad well!

The Hone inverter stick welder has an incredible, smooth arc, with its high open circuit voltage. It will run. 7018 in1/8, and even 6010! For a hundred dollar price range im overly impressed for the capabilities, performance, and compactness as well. I have many other name brand welders, (red, and blue), and the performance is on par with those. The perfect rod for this is 6013, and welds thin metal with ease. I also really like how small it is and it would almost fit in the glove box of a pickup! So, professional quality, and maximum portability at a price that's just too good to pass up!

For a cheap, tiny, extremely portable stick welder this thing is great. I haven't used it on 220V but it does a fine job on 120V.I had 6" ID steel pipe with 3/8" wall thickness driven for a boat lift. After rough cutting the pipe to the required height with circular saws I used this welder to build up the low spots to make the top level (much easier than grinding the high spots down). I ran this little machine off a 120v 15a breaker and GFIC outlet and 225ft of extension cords. My air compressor wouldn't even start on anything over 100 ft of extension cord.I burned probably 25-30 3/32" E6011 rods (what I had on hand) on ~ 65a while building up some areas as much as 1/2". This welder handled it no problem- no tripped breakers or high temp shutdowns- in fact the only time it quit was when the end of the extension cord fell in the water and tripped the GFIC.

Great welder easy to start an ark anti stick feature works perfectly. I was at it for hours before I finally had a rod stick and I've only welded a hand full of times zero experience was able to pick right up on it unlike the Chicago electric I've used before was really bad at starting and the heat had to be way up this little welder puts out some serious amps of power probably not the rated 140amp but I was in the 55-60amp range running on a 110v 15 amp gfi without tripping on a 20 amp circuit breaker for my garage Wich is dedicated. I fixed my jaw for my vise right away now it's by no means pretty it I've seen some nice work come from this welder on others review I suggest you but this stop looking around for a cheap reliable usable inverter welder. It's amp meter is said to be off but I find it to be pretty true without testing it with a meter. It's only con is it is really to small it's almost needs to be strapped down to prevent it moving when you pull out the leads fits in a standard laptop back or backpack can be ran on a 12ga extension cord if one needed to for small repairs. It's said to be able to run on a generator 4000 watt was recommended by manufacturer I bet it would run on a little 2000watt I have not tried it but the draw is surprisingly low now I was only welding bracket) Angle iron and the vise jaw was probably the thickest I tried running a 6013 3/32 rod I believe.

Let’s be honest, for what it costs shipped overnight, it’s not going to be unbelievably good. I fully tested it (metered it and everything). It’s definitely useable, and works good for what it is. The good: super portable/small, outputs a lot of power on 110, runs 7018 smooth, is pretty quiet, and has long leads. The bad: the amp reading display and the amp sticker on the knob are way off. When run on 110 volt set for 90 amps it does indeed put out 90 amps. When set for 130 on the display it outputs 115. On 220volts when set for 90 it outputs 115 amps. When set for 60 it outputs 75. When set for 140 it actually outputs 140 amps. So basically the only time the display and sticker are even close to accurate is at 90 amps when on 110 volt and 140amps on 220. I would have liked to see them just get rid of the display and have a accurate sticker. The other negative is it won’t run 6010 rods, the arc will go out consistently. It will run 6011 well. Open circuit voltage is 80 volts which is generally good for 6010 but it’s tough to keep it lit. I figured that wouldn’t work (despite their claims) so no surprise there.Basically if you have some small work to do around the home I don’t think you will be disappointed with it. 6013 and 7018 will run good. Just keep in mind the settings are off on the hot side. I am just going to sharpie ideal display settings based on voltage/rod diameter on the unit and use it anytime I need to burn a couple rods and don’t feel like dragging a bigger welder out. It will probably last a couple years of light duty (75-90 amp) use. Honestly I am pretty happy with the purchase. If they got the amp meter or chart dead on for atleast one voltage I would give it 5 stars.
