Best arc welder in the world, cheap welder vs Fronius welder review 

I can tell you first-hand that the Transteel 2700 is BY FAR the greatest welder I've ever owned/used. It literally paid for itself in under a month tig welding aluminum straight out of the mig gun. You guys that have opinons about it that have never used it, I challenge you to stop by our shop and fire ours up anytime you like. We are on Google and our address to our shop is right on there. We've owned Miller, Lincoln and ESAB machines and NOTHING compares to the quality and unbelievable capabilities of this machine.

@@shelbygrinders3839 thanks for the input I appreciate your comment and especially I appreciate your willingness to help some one by offering to try the equipment in you shop. Hat off to you. The whole point of this video is to show that the best welder is not a brand but a machine that fits the purpose. I agree with you that Fronius makes phenomenal equipment and if I would be looking for a MiG I would get Fronius machine as it would be the best fit for the purpose. In fact I do owe 500 amp Fronius MiG with 10m long push pull torch on it. That is the best machine for the task. However, when you forget about MiG machines and look at TiG equipment all of a sudden the difference is drastically reduced. I am not saying that there is no difference, I am saying that in my opinion for the task in hand, the difference in cost and customer service create situation where cheap Chinese machine actually makes sense.

@@shelbygrinders3839 Yeah exactly.. i own a transsteel 3500c and it BLOWS away everything ive had a demo on and the reliability is incredible.. So i was pretty annoyed about this video has its incredibly biased and just short sighted..

I am sorry that you fill annoyed by this video, that was not my intention. You are also mentioned that the video is short sighted. I disagree and would like to hear your argument. I have already replied to your other comment under this video, so I hope that you will be able to see this video through an other person eyes, some one with different circumstances and different needs than you. Other ways I would love to hear your reasoning!

I can tell you right now the cheap welder will not go near the fronius. Even if it's an older model. If somebody using both machines blindfolded can't notice the difference they shouldn't be using a welder!

Thank you for your comment! it helps to know that people find those videos useful.

Thank you for taking time and writing such detailed comment! I really appreciate constructive inputs!

Thank you for watching!

Glad it was helpful

Yes, i saw them in other peoples videos. You are right they run very nice!

Do not get me wrong, they make brilliant equipment, very pricey, but brilliant. However if you are unable to repair it at ease it makes sense to go with other brand.

Try GYS :) every update of functionality is free

@@Pentax67 Sorry, can you give me more detail on what you mean, you mean free hacks?

Welcome to the world of monthly subscriptions and milking you dry attitude from the corporate world.

I do not remember using HTP 220, so can not comment

Regular green tinted welding glass with colour correction in the post production. New videos that have not being published yet will have even better colours in them

Thanks!

Yes, all equipment will brake at some point. Many people criticize me for being unfair towards the Fronius which is not the case as I own 3 Fronius machines

I am in Scotland and I never used Miller brand, in fact it all times I only saw one machine. Do not get me wrong Fronius makes excellent equipment, the point of this video is to illustrate that what is the best is highly circumstantial. That is why when it comes to AC/DC TiG in the range of 300A+ Fronius looses to cheap China made machine. Not because Fronius equipment is inferior, but because of amalgamation of all circumstances. Thanks for watching!

It is expensive for sure

Sure, unfortunately i never had an opportunity to use any EWM equipment but i am aware of such brand. All in all changing brands will not change essence of the video .

@@weld-deluxltd7635 so basically three is no point of buying expensive brands. Chinese stuff will do fine

@@BlacharzOstatniejSzansy It is a little different, the ability to repair your machine and ease of repair of the machine should be one of the biggest concerns rather than the brand name. The level of competition is so high that it is hard to make bad welding equipment if an established manufacturer is competing in the open market. There is no such thing as a welding machine that will not break, so it is crucial to be able to repair it without any hassle when it happens. So have happened that this Chinese machine is the easiest for me to repair. It is also the most effective in comparison to other brands as far as features versus price. It also has the best warranty deal out of any brand that is on the market. It performs as good as really expensive brands like Fronius when i use it. This machine requires better understanding and experience from the operator to set it up right where Fronius has electronics that will compensate for low experience from the operator.

@@weld-deluxltd7635 thank you

You welcome! Hope it helps

You are correct, by the spec the differ, and also by the price. I hope that this video will help people to decide what is more practical for them. The long knows challenge of getting what you need rather than what you want 😉

@@weld-deluxltd7635 many thanks

Most welcome!

Amazing thing about being wrong it always feels so right! Unfortunately i do not speak Polish language, my first language is Ukrainian 😛

@@weld-deluxltd7635 my mistake many apologies

@@gordonturner8544 not a problem at all. All of us for about 60% made out of the same water. My biological grand mother was Polish, but I never meet her. Perhaps you have a very good ear!

No argument there, MiG arc control is a different game all together and CMT ability to o weld with low distortion and control to bridge the gap is second to none. I too owe 3 machines from Fronius and if I need an other MiG I would not look at anything else. However this video is not about how bad Fronius is or how good Chinese machines are. This video to show that the best welder in the world is not about brand, that decision should be made based combination of different factors like ease of repair as any machine will brake at some point. An other one of them factors that needs to be accounted, is your personal circumstances. If I had a production line that daily produces 50+ batches of the same component with MiG and employs low skilled welders that rotate through the company quicker the any one can learn their names, I would get senergic machine from Fronius However, In my situation, for my needs, for the TiG machine Fronius is not the best welder. Hope it makes sense

Have you tried esab 3 phase or older airco 3 phase machines? Man o man those machines weld like butter.

@@mauricioespinoza5390 I am sure that they are good, how do I repair one when it brakes? How long will this machine will be of line if I have to send it to esab? Is there 3 years warranty on those machines? Will esab pay for the shipping both ways if I need to send in machine under warranty? Will esab send me a machine to make sure I am not stock if my machine takes longer to repair then 48 hours? Will the cost of the machine prevents me to buy a back up machine for any emergency situation that may rise? There is more to a good machine then ability to weld, welding properties go without saying but one must look into whole package

@@mauricioespinoza5390 personally id avoid any of the esab inverters as they all seem to be cheaply built.. Every owner of a welding store i spoke to who stocks them have all said they alot of them go bang pretty early or have serious firmware issues. Esab really fucked up on that product line.

@@Migman2020 I haven't had any experience with any inverter welders yet but those old school transformer 3 phase. They just won't die and the welds are phenomenal.

wow
