MIG-205DS Semi-Automatic Welding Machine MIG Welder

The YESWELDER MIG-205DS PRO is super easy to use and perfect for anyone from a beginner to a weekend fabricator. I love that it runs on both 110 V and 220 V, so I can use it anywhere — from the garage to the shop. Switching between MIG and stick welding is quick and straightforward, and the controls are very user-friendly. It’s also spool-gun ready, which means I can weld aluminum without needing a separate machine. This single unit really does it all — MIG, stick, steel, aluminum — all in one compact setup. Great value, great performance, and incredibly convenient!

The YESWELDER MIG-205DS PRO is an absolute game-changer! With its 200A dual voltage capability, it’s perfect for a wide range of projects, whether you’re working at home or in a professional setting. The 5-in-1 functionality is incredibly versatile, allowing seamless transitions between MIG, Flux Core, Spool Gun, TIG, and Stick welding. It’s also aluminum MIG compatible, which is a huge plus. The machine is user-friendly, reliable, and delivers exceptional weld quality. Definitely a fantastic investment for anyone serious about welding!

No la comprendo, no me duró ni 4 meses

Welder since early 80s, hands shake and I can't stick weld like I used to, so I finally got a mig/flux core, tig welder that is GREAT qualty, built great, welds great(flux core so far) that I could afford on a black friday sale. Hoped that my old tig gear would fit but I will have to put new lugs on the cables and get new gas hose. This thing is wonderful!. Even comes with a liner to change to use aluminum wire for welding aluminum, has all the wire drive rollers also. I will post pics at a later date as I use it more, gonna have to save up to get tanks for gases, they are expensive these days, more than the cost of the welding machine itself. I'm 62 and never thought I would see the day I would say that lol. I have owned a handful of fancy lincoln and miller machines, still have an old lincoln ac tombstone, and a small Hitbox dc welder for stick. But I know this jewel is going to be used exclusively from now on.

My qualifications to write this review? Not many, but I’m probably the hobbyist demographic the machine is aimed at. I took a one-week Mig course at a community college 20 years ago, and then bought a very expensive Miller that saw little action. Sold it, and a few years ago, bought a Lincoln AC 220 for a single project, taught myself to make ugly stick welds that stuck, and sold it, too. Last year I bought the little $100 Hitbox200 to repair an ornamental gate, which, somewhat surprisingly, it did. But, I really wanted a multi machine just because. Unfortunately, these (used to) start at a $1,000 and go up rapidly, and there’s no way I could justify it. Then, I came across a bunch of remarkably positive reviews on the curiously named $500 Yeswelder MIG-205DS. So, I said yes and ordered one. The Amazon web-site lists the items that are included in the price, and several YouTube videos show un-boxing and operation. In any event, my box arrived unscathed and complete, each accessory in its own plastic bag, all good quality, as is the welder itself. As many US reviews have demonstrated, this welder comes ready to deliver three processes very well: arc, gas Mig, and gasless Mig. Insofar as Mig is concerned, the drive mechanism is metal, and 2 wheels allow 4 wire sizes. It will also do Tig – lift only - with the separate purchase of a Tig torch and pedal. Its ‘synergic’ control panel simplifies settings, but also allows over-rides. It operates on 230 and 110 current, but to get the best out of it, the circuits need to have at least 30 amp and 20 amp breakers respectively. It will not weld aluminum for several reasons, primarily because it does not provide AC. The down-sides are few. The machine can use both 2 pound and 10 pound wire spools. (The large reel uses the big plastic washer, the smaller reel does not.) While insetting the control panel protects it from harm, it’s hard to make and see the settings. The solution is to make a cart that tilts the unit about 20-25 degrees, or just put it on a high shelf. The fan is noisy, but that’s true of all welders. But, the lack of a good, detailed manual is a PITA. The ‘synergic’ panel pretty provides the necessary info, but there’s no guide on how to get started. YouTube to the rescue plus, lots of settings charts and aps on the Internet. PS: When I bought the Lincoln, I also had to buy a helmet etc, etc, but this time kept the extras when I sold it. Apparently, Yeswelder's primary business has been helmets, and the machines are a new product. In any event, if you're in the market, a quick look on-line suggests they offer a lot of tech at similarly reasonable prices.
