I have used these machines for several years now most days and sometimes flat out all day. Personally have not seen one fail. I had to hunt high and… Read more

low across Australia to find a remaining one of these superseded models. Absolutely amazing little welder for the price! I would not have the new model for no other reason than the very loud fan that runs full noise for at least 5 full minutes every time it strikes an arc irrelevant of temperature. Very annoying in a quiet workplace like a home workshop. I actually bought the new model and returned it in disgust, It totally contradicts the advertised “smart fan” feature that Unimig advertises with the new model. What a shame. If you can find the KUM-M-RTIG200ACDC buy it and dont sell it! I Awesome welders so much better than the new model in my opinion.

great welder – Purchased this unit as a work item needed for welding RSJ and fence posts. It totally out performed my old welder and lays great welds using fluxcore wire. Great price, great unit, thoroughly recommend this product. Show details

I purchased the 180 amp inverter welder as an upgrade and replacement for my old (1985) 140 amp AC stick welder. The new welder has a better duty… Read more

cycle and it is much easier to strike an arc and it produces very smooth welds with less spatter than the old welder. The control panel allows for fine and accurate control of the welding amperage. The machine is light weight and easy to carry and the power and welding leads are a decent length (3m and 4m) and the ground clamp and electrode holder are heavy duty. The first practice project was to fabricate a lift for cleaning under the ride-on mower and the welder produced good welds once I worked out the best amperage for the tubing size. I'm very happy with the machine so far and have got several projects ahead.

Great after sales (and after warrantee) service – I bought one of these in 2021. It has worked really well for me. I have used it quite a bit with both flux core and solid wire. I had to put new… Read more

wire in yesterday and when I finished the wire wouldn't feed. I checked the manual and watched the how to video online with no luck.

Today I found an email address for CIGWeld enquiries and sent a message describing the issue. 5 hours later I got a reply suggesting a setting that may be wrong. I checked and found that the setting was wrong, corrected it and it is working again. The machine is out of warrantee. I wasn't optimistic when I sent the email. I am very happy with the afters sales service I received.

I purchased a Cigweld 185 from a local authorised dealer and it has been a great unit. Have purchased a number of cigweld products over the years and have been most impressed with the range and great pricing.

Bucket of crap. Been back to Unimig 2 times and they say there is nothing wrong. Cuts out when you arc the wire, need to turn off and reset. Then same thing happens. Nothing but problems from day 1, other brands must be better Show details

all-in-one machine for general welding tasks. It’s many years since I last used welding equipment (I went through a 4 year Engineering apprenticeship after leaving school, but that was a long time ago), and these modern all-in-one sets are almost fool-proof!

Very disappointing – Bought this welder thinking CIG gear would be good quality. But after very little use (on only it's 2nd small roll of wire) it will no longer weld.… Read more

It feeds wire but there is only a very feeble arc-barely sufficient to melt the wire and nowhere near enough to weld. I suspect there is a major issue with the internal electrics. My suggestion is DO NOT BUY.

Cannot go past this for Aluminium MIG welding – I mainly MIG weld aluminium. This is the best aluminium MIG welder I have ever used. This is my 2nd dual pulse welder and I can tell you I wasted 3… Read more

years on a SWS brand, the Unimig is immediately better, it's like night and day. I'm not saying there aren't other good welders out there but it's an expensive trial and error process. There is a good reason why you see Unimig in most fab shops you walk into. I've done a little steel with this welder, it's good for sure but its aluminium work is a standout.

Ordered my kit thru the Cairns Trade Tools store dealing with Xander and couldn't be happier, great lad, full of great advice and knowledge,… Read more

friendly, chatty and excellent customer service, bought the 185 Fury kit by Weldclass after his recommendations on the type of work im looking to do at home, gave great advice on what extras to get, the logical upgrades and the awesome warranty process extensively which is class leading, the kit arrived and he was straight onto calling me, went in to collect it and he met me at the door, took me thru the kit, helped get the consumables to get me started both gas n gasless, delivered it to the boot of my car without hesitation. After a less than favourable experience at another tool store I will only ever shop with Trade Tools in Cairns from now on, all the lads are very approachable, they have things in stock or source them super fast, just updated my review to show the sliding doors I made for my mini shed, due to the size, placement wtc sliding doors were my only option, needed them done n dusted quickly and the 185 Fury made it effortless....didnt have to grind a single weld, no blow out or anything....so glad I got the Weldclass
