Hobart Handler 190 MIG Welder, 190A, 230V, 500554 is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 215.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome welder for hobbyist or professional I absolutely recommend this welder. I learned on a HF cheapo MIG and a Lincoln stick. This welder is so well set up and so easy it makes me look like I'm better than I am. It lays beads as easy as squeezing toothpaste out of a tube. I wish I had bought years ago. Most importantly, if you ready to spend money on a quality MIG don't bother without getting set up for gas. I'll only ever flux wire MIG again if I'm outside in the wind.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Built solid I bought this because its a transformer based unit. Heavy, reliable and i dont need all the bells and whistles. Not the greatist duty cycle, but for home use its more than enough.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing welder Best welder I ever purchased. I had a Lincoln welder for years and it finally died. Went with Hobart after reading reviews and glad I made the move.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from New To Me New To Me, I have welded 20 min tops, with this new machine, at this point I think its great, went from a 100 Lincoln 120 volt that I have had for 25 years, its a good machine, but the Hobart 190 is better for heavyer welding, I will keep both.

CAN THIS WELDER BE OPERATED OFF A GEERATER

Asked by: JOE L JR
Yes this unit can be powered from a generator. A 7000 watt continuous would be required to achieve max output of 190 amps and 5000 watt to achieve rated output of 130 amps.

Asked by: Johnph31
This would be a great unit for someone just starting out. It will also grow with you as you tackle larger jobs or projects.

This is a simple beginners welder as easy as they come. I find I have to keep the gun close to the weld when using gas outside. Are the parts for this welder made in the U.S?

Does this come with the liner it needs to run gas or does it have to be changed?

Asked by: Jaybo91gt
Yes… it can run flux core or solid. To run solid you will need a bottle of shielding gas. Everything is there.
