I bought mine a few months ago. Love it so far. Haven't tried the spool gun yet, but soon...

Hi guys. Thanks for your input. I just ordered the Eastwood 175 220 volt mig machine. It seems like a good deal. The shipping is free and it comes with a spool gun. It was only $499.00. Now all I need it a bottle of gas and I will be ready. First project, built a welding cart.
Let us know how it works for you.

The salesman at Fresno welding told me that the Lincoln welders are now being made in Mexico and that Miller is the only name brand welder still made in the states.
Not sure about all, but I know that some Miller welders are now labeled as "Assembled in the USA" because they contain some offshore parts. I'm planning to buy a Miller 211 mig or Diversion 180 tig, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. May contain some Chinese parts but at least I know the thing can be serviced instead of just replacing the whole unit. I still haven't bought into our throw away culture, so I continue to pay more for what I perceive to be higher quality stuff.
To OP, best of luck with your Eastwood unit. I've heard some good things about them.
