Had a mahe 200 i for 18 years till sadly gave in so would like to replace it buget is around the £1000What's your budget, material, material thickness range, do you have PPE and gas bottles, do you have lots of space or a little? 13amp plug requirements dose limit you too inverter machines if your wanting too go thicker than 4-5 mm as you'll want a 200 amp machine, for upto about 6. There are plenty of good migs just above the £1000 mark too chose from.

Yep have a stick plantDo you know how too stick weld or have you just used mig in the past? £1000 pounds is a good budget, there are plenty of good welders too be had around that price.
with a grand as a budget you wont be coming home with any of those , double it and your just about starting , shame EWM dont do a 2200 mig that matched up to the trans steel .Best would probably be a fronius 2200
EWM, kemppi, Bohler, esab etc all do 200 amp class inverters...
Or go for an ultra spenny Lorch M252 transformer...
Well you did ask for best...
Just to stop in my garage have stick wekder for site cheerswith a grand as a budget you wont be coming home with any of those , double it and your just about starting , shame EWM dont do a 2200 mig that matched up to the trans steel .
the other big factor of course is do you need to be able to lift the machineto take it on site , maybe a second hand mig and a handbag stick is the way to go if you have a heavy supply in the workshop.
I cry when I see whats out there in both Mig and Tig 3ph , some tasty bargains to be had.
what power supply do you have ,, can it be upgraded to say 32 amp , or is it strictly 13 ampJust to stop in my garage have stick wekder for site cheers

Max mig power on a 13A I reckon is 200A...and that depends on the welder too (they won't all do it).13amp
Looking at a messer greinsman 200 amp second handMax mig power on a 13A I reckon is 200A...and that depends on the welder too (they won't all do it).
