ETOSHA MIG Welder 160A Portable Welding Machine, Flux Core Wire Gasless Automatic Wire Feeding Welders, 110V AC Wire Feed Welder with Welding Gun, Grounding Clamp, Input Power Adapter Cable and Brush

I'm not a welder by any means. But this welder did what I needed. The frame body mount in the picture is thick steel. It's tacked in place. I'll go back and finish it. There are YouTube videos that gave great reviews and ranked it in the top five.

I've been using a stick welder on EVERYTHING. After years of burning through thin material and trying to fill the resulting holes I had enough and purchased this flux core welder. It arrived today and I had a number of projects ready to try it on. First, it is light and easy to handle. Second, it is easy to set-up. Third, the wire feed can be adjusted to just the right speed for the weld desired. The projects all required welding 1/8 rod.Fourth, no more burn-through and the welds are excellent. I've read the bad reviews and right out of the box the wire feed worked perfectly, not a single circuit breaker tripped, the supplied wire gave excellent results. The face shield is garbage. If I'm lucky and this is just the luck of the draw I cannot say, but I'll be sure to post an update if that becomes the case.

This item is really good, speed had to be adjusted, other than that. Really good welding machine.....

Me gusta la soldadura que hace una ves le agarras el ajuste

First of all, throw the wire away as soon as you open the box and get some Forney .30 flux core. With that out of the way, I didn’t buy their wire, I bought their welder, and their welder is fantastic!! I love this little thing. It’s my new little buddy. I only wish the leads were about 3-5 feet longer. I have to work in close quarters with this, but my ass is planted in a chair anyhow, so I suppose it doesn’t matter. The welder is worth every penny, period!

New to welding. Received this about a month and a half maybe two months ago. so looking forward to getting this. It came and it looked amazing. Awesome piece of equipment. Wait until it has some kind of mind to take some time to show me the ins and outs of welding. We proceeded to weld some fence parts in about a half an hour into it. Machine start acting really weird very hot. We took breaks to rest and machine. not that we were working it hard at all . Something wasn’t right to snow right sound right so I took the panel off the side of it and then it was somehow somewhere the thing was dropped.. thinking not in transit because the side panel would’ve been dented along with the dent that you can see in the photo but you can’t see it when the side is on it. Disappointed behind believe. Like really. I’ve contacted Amazon and send email and photos to this company over three weeks ago and have not heard anything back from anybody or any help would be appreciated. 😒

I'm a retired Navy veteran and my rate was a pipe fitter/welder. This is the 2nd flux-core welder i've had over last 8 yrs. I bought this one when the other became non repairable. Vet any FC welder b4 u buy and you'll be glad u did. This Etosha has turned out to be a very good welder. Here's a tip...dedicate a separate circuit or shut off any thing else on same cir, as it will blow ur breaker after @ 1-2 mins of welding. I learned this when I had 2 lights and a fan on same 20a breaker as welder. once turned off welder worked great. I can recommend this welder, and another tip...get 1lb spools of Lincoln .030/.035 wire for better weld quality, i use .035.

This is a great little welder (Etosha MIG 140), especially for the price. Build quality is good; I've had it two months and it has performed well. Today, I had my first problem - the welder was running, but would not feed wire or start an arc. Turns out a wire came loose on the trigger switch; I opened the gun, re-soldered the wire and voila! back in business. This is a common problem with wire feed welders so it was not a big deal to me. I used to have a Century wire feed that would break the trigger switch fairly regularly. The flexing of the gun cables seems to do it. That is why I still gave this welder 5 stars.
