Hello, people. I will buy a new weld machine synergic mag , but this moment confused about machine i have buy. I would like receive feedback about those machines . The price kemppi is twice da Lincoln (5125gbp).why is costing twice the price?
Thanks :-)

Just get the cheap one if the price is the problem, not many people on here use or need that level of sophistication in a machine. They are different machines, the Kemppi is dedicated mig and the Lincoln is multi-process

To be honest if your making the decision to spend around 6,000 Euros on a welding machine, you should make your choice based on local support and more importantly the welding performance of the machine.

Have you had a demo on each machine? How did they perform? What is the knowledge and support like from the local dealers?

These are all far more important factors than purely the monetary value. Because Cap Ex purchases like this are usualy depreciated over 3 sometimes 5 yrs, so you have to look at the benefits to you as a welder rather than the initial cost.

In the UK, one does not cost more than the other for comparable machines so are you sure you have a accurate price on the Kemppii? Or does the Kemmpii have more features enabled hence the difference in price.

You can see another price for the Kempii and Lincoln its not twice the price.
