Hello,

Are the Keygree and Yeswelder brands under the same umbrella? I have a budget of 300-350 USD. I need it for a hobby and home use. Can you guys help me find a good mig mag welder machine?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum

All I've done is a bit of googling and I reckon they're both "badged" Chinese imports. Nothing wrong with that, but it does mean that any kind of support is totally down to how good or otherwise the local importer is.

$300 isn't a huge amount of money for a MIG welder (I'm assuming you don't really want to do MAG, which is a bit more specialised) if you also need to get gas, protective equipment etc. What is it you're looking to weld?

I have no idea what the welder market is like in Turkey but if you're generally looking at Amazon / AliExpress then I suspect the machines will be all pretty similar, so look for those where the seller has a decent rating.

Is the second hand welder market any good in Turkey? If it is then you may be better off going for a second hand known-brand.

First of all, thank you for the informative article you wrote. I looked at local brands. I am trying to research the best one for myself since I can make a one-time investment. I am curious but my budget does not allow it.

I am grateful for everything you wrote thinking of me.

Thanks forum...<3

Not sure what you mean here. MIG uses an inert gas like pure argon, MAG uses an active gas like CO2 or a CO2-argon mix.

As to a suggestion, I don't know the market there but I would be looking at a local supplier that supports what it sells. It doesn't matter if it is Chinese or anything else, if the supplier supports it with parts and repair services including a decent warrantee, you are pretty safe. Assuming the supplier has been around for a while.
