Millermatic 210 good for a newbie?

Hobart is owned by the same company as Miller and tends to be a slightly cheaper consumer line.

The choice is really between Miller and Lincoln. Both make good machines.

Buy whichever one you can get a better price on.

I think Miller has better spoolguns.

The Miller versus Lincoln debate is the same as the chevy v.s. ford

Buy the better deal...thinking of parts/supplies availibility and price

We tend to buy Millers cuz the sales/service/support rep. is a great guy and gets us great deals

Also, they are made in Appleton, WI. and we are in Green Bay....about 40 minutes away

I got a 210 couple of years ago when Miller had a deal going that included a spoolgun.

It has performed very well and I have no reservations recommending it.

I would buy the 210 with confidence.

I liked the original writer saying that he wanted to buy something that he wouldn't outgrow. I am a strong proponent for that, having seen many times when a guy would outgrow his machine, they be back buying another.

I personally own the Lincoln 175SP+. I like it for the most part. But the
