HITBOX Aluminium MIG Welder 250A, 240V Digital Multi-Process 5 in 1 MIG/MAG/Single Pulse/Gas/Gasless/ARC/Lift TIG Inverter Welding Machine with Large Colour Screen (MIG250DP)

I have no doubt this machine is designed for occasional use, what surprised me is how well it works on domestic mains supply. I bought it to weld 1.5mm 2mm and rusted 3mm mild steel. Any poor welds were down to me.

For the money this is a great little welder. Flux Core welding is different to using a Gas MiG but the way the price of gas is going I am switching over for some applications as I managed quite a few repairs on My army trailer and I am still on the first reel of wire.

Handy little thing to have around, works as good as any

I'm only a beginner but this welder is first class. Dead easy to use, compact and lightweight. We'll worth the money. Customer support is also excellent.

The plastic shroud around the electrical components and connector block of the MIG gun is poorly constructed and just fell open, exposing live wiring behind it. The twist off end cap which is poorly secured and takes about 1/8th of a turn to remove. Which as I found can be done by just the torch cable movement over the end cap because it’s so loose. Below it are live cables. This poses an electrical hazard. These cables are joined using US style twist caps which, although not illegal in the UK, are far from best practice and designed for in wall use and on 110V circuits used in the US with lower electrocution risk. See images. The included manual for this is useless. I asked support for a better manual and they sent one. This was also useless so I asked for a better manual. They sent a near identical one. The manuals were poorly translated but make reference to switches and functions that have no corresponding diagram. So there’s no way of following what the manual is saying or making the adjustments it references. Support is lacking. The marketing says “【The Coolest Colourful Large LED Display】- The unique colour LED screen design to provide you with accurate data display“. Yes, if you are in a dark room. But in a well lit area the screen is quite dull. See image - you can see the amps/volts but not the colourful welding format selector. In the specifications it says “Applicable wire: 0.6/0.8/1.0.“ It’s not supplied with a 0.6mm roller. Note too in case you miss it – the TIG torch is not included. The machine worked for both MIG and TIG but due to the issues noted -particularly electrical safety - I returned it.

Brilliant

Feeder wire gets stuck and I consider to cheap and will upgrade if I need to do another welding project

I really researched which one to buy, to be honest this is really good at the price, I have only used in the cored gasless mig mode and to be honest its really good for DIY and I have been impressed with the weld quality I can achieve. Had an issue where the wire came out thru the liner, that was just due to miss feed and easily resolved - keep the wire and umbilical straight when feeding the wire into it at welder end. Instructions a bit lacking, when you adjust the power it makes a auto adjust to the feed rate slightly, best bet is to have a go and with time you kind of understand how the parameters are changing. Good for hobby and home use with clean steel, was able to spot weld old mower deck very well.

Buena ergonomía de empuñadura, bien aislado y estético. Demasiado corta para algunos trabajos.

Buen producto para regular el gas

スズキッドの溶接機にもピッタリで純正ワイヤーと変わりない溶接しやすさで大変良い商品です！

Great product and a hell of a lot cheaper for the same quality

Good value for the money . Connected without issue and works great. Thanks
