Stamos Welding GroupMMA-250PI.2 Arc Welder Inverter Welder Welding Machine (250 A, 8m Cable, IGBT, Hot Start, LED Display, incl. accessories)

I read several reviews of welding machines before consoling this one.Although not the cheapest it came top on the reviews I read.Personally,I cannot fault it.The packaging was superb and delivery was quite good considering it came from Germany.The extra long leads are a real bonus and it is quite quiet in use.I have used it on several jobs around the stable yard (using a generator) and it has not disappointed,especially with it being so portable..Although I am not a professional welder my job as a maintenance engineer meant I did do a fair bit of welding and this is a serious bit of kit.easily comparable to the industrial machines I have used..The current is easily adjusted and is accurate.The weld starts well and does not ‘fluctuate’ in use.I have not used it for any continuous length of time but I really can’t see there being a problem on doing so.For such a small machine it packs one hell of a punch.Highly recommended

It’s a really good machine.

Cables are good.Easy to use, small size, good portability.Value for money 5 stars.

A small, simple and light welder that appears to have a lot of welding power at its full setting. Easy to use with the electrode striking an arc without sticking. I managed a few test welds on scrap easily and then did a couple of jobs and was impressed by the work done. The long cables are brilliant for me as they will enable me to work well away from the welder, such as up a ladder. Delivery time was good and the transport carton is strong enough to allow it to be used to store the cables. No idea how accurate the LED display is. I just do what I have always done - try a few test welds and adjust accordingly. Bit miffed the same welder was £10 cheaper from the same source, this only coming to light once I paid. That needs sorting out.

I was surprised at how light the welder was but to date, it has performed well. The machine is well made. The package contains leads of a good length which allows one to place the machine in a convenient position. It is fan cooled but not noisy. The current control at the lower end (50A - 100A) has a coarse but adequate setting range. Without having to remove the terminal lug on either lead thus negating any warantee, I have fitted a magnetic earth clamp and a screw type electrode holder. With this Stamos welder at the centre, I have achived the best set-up that I have had for years.I would strongly recommend this welder.

I am time serve welder for 45 years plus and just Retired, I needed a small professional welder and out there there is loads of them out there . I finally done my homework and decided to buy this one and I am 100% well pleased it’s got long welding leads so you’re not carrying it or dragging around behind you it will smoothly and it’s easy to set the apps accurately this little welder is a pleasure to use. I have probably used every generator welder and electric welder around over my time and I would highly recommend this little welder.

This thing is awesome - never welded before & wanted something easy but professional build/results without massive cost & hassle of buying gas etc (this is a quality German made machine). Came earlier than stated & Very easy to use comes with a 3 pin uk adaptor already connected so just plug & play. I have welded some cart wheels onto my steel Bosch mitre saw stand & fixed some broken metal items around the house within couple hours of receiving. Watch some YouTube vids on arc welding etc for tips & the correct way & don’t forget to Order yourself some gloves/helmet & rods & your good to go :)

I’ve been a welder all my life now in my seventies and bought this for jobs around my home and for jobs for my family it’s a good little welder I’ve used 1.6 and 2.5 up to now and have always preferred to weld on negative with the earth in positive enjoy
