I would say definitely Generic Chinese, as there are many more in various colours with same panel. I can't see any technical information ref duty cycle, etc. Only pricing and "Add to cart" Who knows what the actual output of the 250MI could be??
Hope this helps

What exactly would you base this on? Unless you have found some information that i cant? All i see is the pictures and brief general description! My opinion would be "buyer beware". There are many other lower cost options available, that at least give you full technical information and warranty, and have been tried and tested by users of this forum. If your budget is in and around this end of the market, then i would look to the brands that come up regularly for similar applications/ budgets.
Hope this helps

Looking at the prices on this product, i would hazard a guess that "shipped from Spain" is likely to have originated in China. Why would you chance a product that is not supported closer to home? If you have a failure, i assume you would have 12 months warranty, but it would be return to base? They're can't have been too much price difference between this product and similar R-Tech/ Parweld/ GYS/ Jasic? all of which would offer support in the UK?
Yes, I'm taking a chance on this one. But it looked like a steal for £110. It looks pretty well made, but as you say, it could be from China, who knows? The warranty is 2 years return to base by the looks of it or maybe ama$on will take it back (can hear people shouting, "you fool for buying a welder from ama$on"). It was just personal preference. I've never liiked r-tech, parweld, gys, or jasic.
It’s German I believe their mig welder looks very good quality fir less tgen £300 and has cast aluminium wire feedI'd put my money on it being China.
On their website it says they stock spairs there based in the uk?

Nothing welder wise made in Germany is ever going to be £300, not with the reputation for absolute engineering brilliance that comes out of thereI’ll bet it’s not...
I'll join you in that bet too

I could make a brand with the most German name going and make it in my back shed in Shropshire, doesn't mean it's German
Yep, there's plenty of good quality welders coming out of China, for the most part the good ones have been found by larger wholesalers / manufacturers and used to produce their machines.
An example of a brilliant machine coming out of China is the ESAB Rebel range.

By that they most likely mean they took the generic design and told them to change one or two components
sorry if I seem a tad sceptical.Not sure but for the price you do get a quality wire feed and other bits wouldn’t expect that in a less then £300 machine plus 60% duty cycle at 200 amps which is impressiveBy that they most likely mean they took the generic design and told them to change one or two components
