Lincoln Electric90i MIG and Flux Core Wire Feed Weld-PAK Welder, 120V Welding Machine, Portable w/Shoulder Strap, Protective Metal Case & Traditional MIG/Stick Welding Gloves

Real easy to weld with. Works as described. Nice small unit.

Let me start of by saying I am not a welder. I am a high school science teacher by trade. I am very handy and have a love of woodworking, electronics repairs, building/engineering design projects, and a wide variety of other things, but I am not a professional in any way. I would call myself a DIY enthusiast. I recently needed a welder to repair some steel fencing around the house. I looked into my options and decided that a flux core welder would probably be idea, but I always try to buy tools that are better than my needs, with the idea that they will last a lot longer and be more versatile. MIG welding is one of those things that I may need at somepoint down the road when I am working on cars (another hobby of mine), so when I saw that this one could also be setup for MIG welding I decided to spend a bit extra for that capability since I do not want to have two welders in my garage. This one is wonderfully compact and runs off the 110V power from my house. I do use a thicker gage extension cord with it but when I set it up with Lincoln Electric branded flux core wire (ordered seperately) and set it to the recommended settings for the job I was doing I found that it was very easy to use. My welds were not pretty because I am not a professional welder, but I did find that I was able to get very good results and within just a few welds I was getting very nice results. I was very impressed with how portable this welder is and how little space it takes up. My backpack of welding supplies and safety gear (also from Lincoln Electric) actually takes up more space than the welder. Heck, I think my welding helmet is larger than this welder. Setting it up was easy. Using it was easy. This was definitely a better welder than I needed, but I am so glad I have it!

Absolutely amazing welder for the price. Great for around the house projects and likely more! Perfect weld the first time. Lincoln did a great job with this!

As a hobbyist/home handyman, I considered myself the world's worst welder using a HF buzzbox. My welds were atrocious and could not be trusted to hold two pieces of paper together. I purchased the Lincoln 90i FC and guess what? My welds improved instantly. Though I may have graduated to world's second worst welder, I can definitely weld two pieces of metal together and have them stick. What a world of difference a quality tool makes. I can positively say that any deficiency in the quality of my welds squarely lies on my shoulders and cannot be blamed on the machine. The 90i FC is a very capable unit and has all the power I need as it will easily trip a 20A breaker on the highest setting. Can't imagine being able to use a more powerful unit without going to 220v. I also considered going with the 90i FC mig but decided against it because of the added expense and learning curve of adding a gas cylinder. Sure it might be better but unless I get into more serious work, this is all the machine I think I will need.

This is the best cracker box style welder I've ever had or used it well it's hot it says it's rated for a Max a quarter inch steel and it can do that with no problem.

Perfect sized welder, just what I needed . I use a Lincoln at work has never let me down

Machine is very good for money, capability, portability. Will weld 1/4” but not with solid wire, you’ll need to be using the right flux cored wire for it. The provide Lincoln wire is good but way too expensive, cheapest brand I’ve found for the same spec wire at 2lb spools is the penguin stuff for E71T-11 flux, not to be confused with the E71T-GS which is different between brands. You can find plenty of cheap gs wire but not much 11. The 11 wire will weld smoother generally and look better, also won’t penetrate as much but it’s still pretty good.If you want to use mig, you’ll have to go slower than you can on flux. But it’s not a problem when you have just a few welds that you need to get to with an extension cord and a small tank, should probably be sticking to flux for that stuff anyway.

Awesome welder for the price👍🏻👍🏻

Me parece buena opción en cuanto a precio .Es más pequeño de lo que pensé , Pero aunque no la uso diario me parece buena opción la compatibilidad con gas. Es lo que buscaba para regulación de voltaje y no solo alta y baja como la máquina vieja que tenía.

He realizado varios proyectos y es una de las mejores máquinas que he usado es ligera, muy práctica, fácil de usar, de verdad muy versátil

Muy buen producto.

The media could not be loaded. Llegó rápido, perfectamente empacada, buena calidad general, es la 1a vez que uso una flux core y no batallé para nada con los ajustes. Algo importante es tener un termomagnético de al menos 20A pues si llega a los 20-27A de consumo en promedio, llegando a picos de 40A si se alarga el arco. Mi termomagnético es de 20A y no tuve problemas, aunque no subí más allá de la mitad de la potencia, la corriente de salida llega a los 100-110A en nivel de voltaje 4, asi es que da muy buena salida, apenas comienzo con esto pero muy satisfecho con la compra. De momento solo la he probado en flux core bobina de 1lb lincoln, y sin problema, como nota adicional, parece funcionar con bobinas de hasta 2 lbs en flux core. En Mig se supone no hay problema, en flux core dice el manual que hasta 1 lb, pero hay un video de una persona usandola con bobina flux core de 2 lbs sin problemas. El regulador venía con los tornillos de la carátula muy flojos, los apreté y parece no haber falla, falta conectarlo a gas.

Aún no la he probado , lo único que no me gusto a diferencia de otros productos de Lincoln Electric es que solían venir con más accesorios
