DEKOPRO Stick Welder 160A ARC/Lift TIG 2-in-1 Welding Machine with 110v/220v Dual Voltage IGBT Inverter Welder

I needed an affordable welder to repair an appliance I had. This setup with hood and tools was less expensive than trying to get a new part shipped to me by at least $100. I recall using a stick welder about 30 years ago and thought this would be worth a try. Glad I did, it came packaged well and I could use eihtr 120V or 220V. I went the easy way and did 120V and it worked great. Good product, affordable, and really easy to use. I got the one with the more advanced digital display and found that easy to adjust to try to get the welding stick to melt just right on my repair - it did the job and we are all happy.

I needed to do some welding but didn't want to spend a lot of money. I am a novice welder at best. I bought this hoping it would do what I needed it to do and it has. It definitely works better on 220 volts but does weld on 110 volts. The problems I had on 110 volts were due to my lack of experience. It fell off my trailer into the dirt once while I was welding and didn't stop running or welding (about 3 feet). The drop was not intentional. This welder is light so make sure it is secure where you place it. I have welded everything from 1/8" steel to 2-3/8" oil field pipe. It welds everything I need it to. The only thing I replaced was the ground clamp. I love this welder and would buy it again if it quit working. Mike

I'm a complete novice welder, so I haven't tried many others for comparison, but this is the first one I've tried that I was successful with. It's easy to set up and use. Very lightweight and portable, but still feels like good-quality parts.

I am very impressed with this welder. Got it for the size and portability. I am a beginner and still able to lay down some nice beads with 3/32 6010, 6011, 6013, and 7018. The 6010 was difficult to keep lit but setting the arc force about 5 helped. The pictures with the slag peel and clean bead were done with the 6013. The welding cables are all copper and sufficient for this welder. The electrode holder is also sufficient. The work clamp is junk. I replaced it before I even tried the welder. I did put a clamp meter on the work clamp cable and consistently got about 15 amps below what I had set on the display plugged into 240 volts. That is why I took one star and I put a label on the front to remind myself to set it a bit higher than normal. I also tested this running from a 4850/3850 generator. Works great.

Have been looking for a welder to put in the back of a truck to go around making repairs on equipment and fence. Mig welders can be heavy and expensive and didn’t want a $1000 welder bouncing around in the back of a truck all the time. Was looking at the HF inverter welder and was looking up reviews when this thing popped up on the best compact welders. Figured for $140 I would give it a shot. Glad I did! This thing is about the size of my boot but it packs a good punch. Welds great easy to use. Haven’t figured out what all the buttons do but feels very well built. Only problem I have is that the leads are a little cheap, especially the ground clamp but those can be switched out easy enough

it works great atm

Nice little machine. It won't run a 6010 like most cheap inverters wont but, it runs nice for all other rods. 110 hook up works in a pinch or for smaller rods. It probably won't burn a 1/8 inch 7018 but, will probably burn a 1/8 inch 6011. Definitely for all of the 3/32, and 1/16 rods it's fantastic for hooking into a wall outlet. I prefer running on 220 though. I'm almost positive this machine doesn't have hot start. If it does, it's not in the am y'all and there is no setting for it on the machince. All in all, nice little machine to keep around.

Beware. I got sent a used striker clamp. The welder looks capable and sturdy. Just really disappointed that the item was listed and I got a used striker clamp with scratches. It’s a very compact machine and very light . Got it because of project farm and a coworker from work recommended it. I’m excited to start my welding journey.

Je l’utilise depuis 2ans et j’en suis très satisfait pour le prix. Fiable et facile à transporter.

Had this welder for over 2 years now.. nothing but good things to say about this little welder. Built my homemade wood splitter multiple trailers a few snow groomers and some atv canoe/kayak rack. Only thing i want to state for new buyers is dont go buying this thinking you will weld aluminum, it wont.. it is not a high frequency welder therefore it will not strike an arc with either aluminum stick rod or tig torch. I also recommend changing over the wires and the ground clamp, that ground clamp will glow red and smoke like a mf whenever you're going thru some welds with a 1/8 rod 😆 and wires will break inside the protective jacket making you not able to strike anything. Perfect mild steel/stainless mini welder for the price imo!!

Works good, even on 120V

Rendement acceptable pour des petites et mi-moyennes soudures. Basique, mais dépanne à merveille.

I've used it on 2 projects so far, and it works as advertised. I read all the negative reviews on this and most of them complain about it not working out of the box or dying after a few tries. I hope that doesn't happen to me, but a Pro welder I follow on youtube uses this one for small jobs and recommends it. For a hobbyist like me, its great. Admittedly, it works better on 220v than 110v but even the 110v was OK for me.
