After several years of faithful service, I finally sold my Lincoln 350MP welder. I wanted something smaller and lightweight to use in my shop and the Multimatic 255 knocked it out of the park in many areas including ones I had not expected. Firstly, it comes in a smaller package, it should because it is inverter based as opposed to my Lincoln's brute transformer. This also translates to less weight as I shed over 100lbs. to lug around. So, lighter weight, nearly the same output, more features and a smaller package… I'm in, oh wait… did I mention it pulses too! Then, there is the user interface. This is the iPhone of welders as far as I am concerned as it is well thought out, user friendly and very easy to read. I used to have to keep a log of my weld settings for future reference but now with the synergic "Auto-Set" not only does it have all the settings, it includes the gas mixture combinations as well. All of this is a real time saver when you are constantly changing processes on the run and not having to constantly look up settings for something you welded three months ago. The arc is what you would expect from a quality inverter based welder and it is a delight to weld with. Machine quality and accessories are of excellent quality that you would expect from a major manufacturer like Miller. The only two things I would have liked to see is a system to hang the MIG torch and work clamp instead of wrapping around the machine's handle, and a 110v outlet would have been awesome too. These are things I can fix myself to suit me better and aren't deal breakers. Lastly don't let the 255 naming convention fool you, as it did me, this machine will allow you to go to 350 amps, albeit for a short time, for those rare times you need more welding power. Other manufacturers sometimes severely limit output especially on single-phase. Duty cycles are very respectable also. The Multimatic 255 will exceed your expectations and won't disappoint!
