ESAB caddy MIG/ Kemppi Minarcmig?

admin

Hey all, wondering if anyone has owned either of the above mentioned welders? Im looking into buying a MIG machine for home, and want something highly portable (the above mentioned machines are both around 11kg, 23-24pounds without wire), most of you know im pretty well versed in MIG from my work, but generally large industrial machines such as the V-350 PRO i use at work atm.Of the two, i have used a kemppi minarcmig evo 200 before on power station maintenance and i was VERY impressed by it, both machines are 240volt (our standard line voltage here, we dont have 115, 230ect) and will deliver 200 amps from a 15 amp circuit, however the ESAB is around $500 cheaper then the Kemppi.In terms of parts and support, i live in Australia, and both Kemppi and ESAB are well supported here
