Review: Nice little welder - Perfect for home/garage use - I was a Union Ironworker a bunch of years ago and multi-certified welder. After moving to another home, I didn't have 220v available in my out-building rendering my old Century welder useless. Cost to run a line was going to be crazy expensive. I researched the many options for something else that could run on 110v and when narrowing down the field, I determined this Hone 185a - 110v/220v was the best option for these kinds of portable welders. I bought this in April, 2024 and it is now mid-June, 2024 and can say confidently, this was a good choice. I can lay down some very nice looking beads with deep penetration using 6013 - 3/32" @ 65-70a and it runs 7018 rod equally well making this the perfect little home/small-project-use welder. I also experimented running uphill & overhead welds with the same 6013 and it works with a little finesse using the control knob. I don't know how this small welder would hold up in a continuous use job site environment, but that's not what most folks would buy a welder of this size & capacity for in the first place. My only annoyances (yes, we Americans love to complain about things right/wrong) with this welder, is that the leads should be longer as well as the power cord. Yes, you can run an extension power cord (sufficiently sized), but that still keeps the unit itself a little too close to the actual work zone. It's ok when working with small physical sized projects, but not all projects are small in overall size. The other complaint is that the stinger is a little wonky/cheap, but it works fine and I'll keep using it until I really need to replace it. The ground seems ok, albeit a little light weight. I am going to look at resurrecting some of my old long heavy leads and heavier stinger & ground from the old Century to adapt to the Hone welder and I'll be a much happier camper. I like the size of this little welder and that it is oh-so-portable with being 110v powered. Right now, I don't know if I will ever have a need for 220v, but knowing this little welder is capable of running on it, puts my mind at ease. I read some reviews where some folks were complaining about this welder's inability to run 6010/5p rods...in my experience, that's not a good rod to begin with in that it splatters almost as much as it lays down metal. The only thing that stuff is good for is deep penetration better used on old crappy rust surface metal...like old farm equipment. I think a lot of inexperienced welders think they are doing "something" when they are causing sparks to fly 20ft. I'd suggest reading up on welding rod specifications before purchasing any rod and only buy quality rod (crappy rod=crappy weld). Also, some folks mentioned they were popping 110v breakers...you would probably do best with a dedicated 20amp circuit (12ga wiring/not 14ga) and avoid having a GFCI outlet. If you need to run an extension cord, use as heavy gauge as you can...the lightweight stuff is going to be problematic. Wrapping up, there are many of these little 110v inverter welders flooding the market. I would suggest staying with the 110v/220v capable machines instead of 110v only as they appear to be functionally built better and provide power options you may need. There are plenty of reviews & videos available that you need to decide for yourself if they are truthful or just pushing product simply for personal gain...so, please do your own due diligence before purchasing. I'm happy with this one. ***Note: I was not paid, promised or given any free products in exchange for this review.
Review: As advertised. - So far this little welder has been great. I checked the amp output and it has been +5A for the first 2/3 of the dial and dead-on for the last 1/3 of the setting dial. Hot-start works and goes up to 220A on 240V, for a second, and up to 185A on 120V. Hot-start seems not a percentage of set amperage, so when you weld on 30A it also start-jumps to 185A when on 120V. Something to remember when welding thinner materials. It runs 5/32" 7018 rods on 130A without any problems. OCV on mine is ~77-78V and starts 6010 (Blue Demon rods) without issues. It keeps the arc going if you do your part. Closed current voltage while welding 3/32" 6010 rods hovers between 25-31V, on the low side for 6010. Maybe the Blue Demon rods are more forgiving. We'll see how long this machine lasts, but for $100 shipped it has been a great learning experience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Welding Machine
*by S***S on March 22, 2025*

Used it once so far, used 3/32" 6013 rods to fix a utility trailer. Ran it on 120VAC, and performed well. Instruction manual is vague, but enough to get you going. If you are a beginner, maybe someone you know can help on hot to set your controls, or just play with it. If you know how to weld, it's a easy machine to use. Leads are not too long, but the welder is super light, so keeping it near the work will be easy. Later on I will make longer leads. For the money, it's a great unit. I have a old Hobart 220VAC, this welds so far just as good.
