Is the Lincoln Electric 215 as GOOD as they say? 

its not absent you just have to use Manual mode and know what to set it at.

How are you liking it after several months? I was set on the MillerMattic but there rebate just ended and the $400 rebate is currently active on the MPI. This is my first welder. I like everything on the Lincoln but wondering if that fan will drive me nuts in person

Hi 👋

Lincoln makes great welders. I’ve got three myself and they’re rock solid. Enjoy the journey, any day burning metal is a good day in my book.

Let me say if you had one you be welding all the time , finding little projects to start with and building confidence to build bigger projects .

@@dmc2087 I'm sure I would, but right now, no. Still $2K for something I might use a dozen times a year? Not sure. I'm STILL trying to get the Miller from where my wife works. Place shut down operations two years ago. Offered up $2K for the Miller, Hydraulic Press, two Grinders (one like the tool grinder Adam Booth has in his home shop, and the other is a 10" Baldor ginder/polisher), and a steel saw. They said "well, we don't know what we are allowed to do". I said "Throw it by management, I'll pull it, and price is negotiable". They came back and said 'We're just scrapping it all". WHAT!?!?!? Yea...They aren't auctioning it, they are going to bring in a 30 yard dump and destroy the equipment so the employees that are left can't 'steal' it. :(

400 rebate right now

@@mblake0420Still out of that price range. :( It isn't easy being in the "Retired, but can't get to your retirement savings" timeframe. Gotta watch the spending until I can get to the retirement savings. 3.25 years for that.

Wonder where he went

That may be as close to made in USA as you are ever going to get with a welder. Old Millers say Made in USA and new ones say Assembled in USA. I'm pretty sure my bed frame was assembled in USA too (by me) after it was shipped to IKEA in a box from china.

@@jacobwronaHobart is made in the US pretty sure

@@mike9672 Miller and Hobart are practically the same company from what I understand and my new miller 211 says Assembled in USA. The old miller equipment said made in USA. I'm pretty sure they are getting most of their components from chai-nuh and final assembly is domestic.
