Any large purchase, such as this, I take very seriously and don't want to have buyers remorse, if/when I can avoid it. The biggest point in this review is to tell you, YES, THIS WELDER IS WORTH IT, after a month-ish of owning it, I can now say that I do not have buyers remorse and have been very happy with it. I have put it through 3 full argon tanks of welding (without any argon leaks). One of the worries I had, prior to purchase, was that I would have an issue and wouldn't be able to get decent customer service. I purchased myself this welder so I could teach myself to Tig weld. One Sunday night I ran into an issue, it was total operator error and my fault, and pulled up the website for primeweld, and input my information in to receive customer service. I knew that it was a weekend, they were closed, and expected an email (hopefully) in the next 24-48 hours. The next day, Monday, my phone rang at 7am (central time). I accidentally answered, thought it was a telemarketer, and hung up. An hour later, the same number called. It was the primeweld customer service rep, who was repeatedly attempting to reach me, to resolve the issue I wrote them about. I explained it was my own error, and apologized for wasting their time, and they were super nice and understanding. They had every reason to give up contacting me after I hung up on them (unknowingly). They tried, and most people would have given up at that moment. This guy/company DOES WHAT IT TAKES TO TAKE CARE OF HIS CUSTOMERS, EVEN AFTER SELLING THE ITEM. TLDR-the primeweld customer service is fantastic. Like I said, I've been teaching/taught myself how to Tig weld (have not done stick welding with it). I have done steel and aluminum, 1/8" down to 22gauge. The machine and it's abilities far surpass my own current abilities, and I have a feeling it'll be a number of years until I'm close to outgrowing this welder. I've been so happy and impressed with the process of Tig welding, and the actual welder itself, I highly doubt I will ever use my mig welder again. The first Tig project I did, to learn, was building the cart that it's sitting on in the picture. It's held together great. This welder has definitely helped me, making it easier to learn Tig welding than machines with confusing menus. I haven't ran into an adjustment I needed but didn't have. Oh, THIS WELDER INCLUDES AN ACTUAL INSTRUCTION MANUAL. it's not just an assembly instruction, it gives specific detailed information (57 pages) for people that are clueless and learning, like I was, and I was able to successfully teach myself to Tig weld steel and aluminum using the provided manual and google/YouTube. I included a picture of the manual with the review. I wasn't paid for this review, I wasn't given a discount for it, I spent my own money and paid full price. I'm serious when I say that I don't currently have a complaint about this welder. I'm genuinely impressed and overall happy with this, and would 100% purchase again if I could go back. Review: I bought this welder because the power is greater and the control is better than the other welders in this price category - PrimeWeld 225x 225 amp AC DC Pulse TIG/Stick welder Chris, Springfield, MO I received the new welder on the 18th of April. I bought this welder because the power is greater and the control is better than the other welders in this price category. I looked at other machines that cost much more and most of them did not have the adjustability of this machine. The machines that I found with most of the adjustability were in the $1500 to $2500 range or higher for the American made machines. I looked at the digital machines and decided I did not want to learn a new language again. Memorizing instructions (push this button three times and then that button twice then the button under the other setting once for this and a fourth button two more times) is not user friendly to me. I have tested this welder on mild steel in DC mode and found it to be a very good machine. The material I used was 3/16th flat and angle. The flat butt welds showed very good penetration and smooth consistency. The fillet welds were clean and strong. The duty cycle is 40% and the machine did not overload at any time during my testing. I did have several welds that were 5-6 minutes or longer on 3/16th aluminum tread-plate. I did one very long weld with the aluminum and the welder did not balk at all. As for TIG welding in general it is so versatile that a little investigation and knowledge can go a long way to overcome challenges. I believe that this will be a very good welder for anyone with a little experience welding; for those without any experience I would suggest getting together with someone who has at least a little experience for a little help. The internet is a very good place to get the information you will need to make the learning curve shorter. That is not to say that you have to have experience, only that depending on your ability to work things out by yourself it can be challenging. I have been a DIY’er for many, many years and I can tell you that TIG welding is not something most people can do perfectly at first try. In this realm it truly is practice that makes perfect. I haven’t done any TIG welding for more than 40 years and it is like learning to weld all over again. And it is still fun. This welder will give you everything you need to do the average welding jobs found in art, middle manufacturing and most anything around the house. I am giving this welder 5 stars; not because it is perfect, (though it is top of the line), but because I believe it is by far the best you can get for the money. The customer service is better than I have seen at many companies. I am sure Mike will bend over backwards to be the best in your mind as well. If you would like to talk to me call mike and give him your number and I will call you to help if I can. ## Features - 225AMPS TIG/STICK WELDER WITH PULSE FUNCTION WORKS GREAT WITH ALUMINUM, STAINLESS STEEL AND THINNER METALS - CK Worldwide 17 Series Superflex TIG Torch with Flex Head AND CK SUPERFLEX HOSE, ALSO INCLUDES CK DINSE CONNECTOR USA MADE - 200HRTZ on PULSE FREQ AND AC FREQ will do 1/4" aluminum and 3/8" mild steel and 110/220 volts and is capable of welding 7018, 6013 - Both HF start hand torch control and precise foot pedal welding heat control - Advanced Inverter Technology with PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Using IGBT technology ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07BXHRBQ8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #177,168 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #244 in TIG Welding Equipment | | Brand | PRIMEWELD | | Brand Name | PRIMEWELD | | Capacity | 1500 ml | | Color | BLACK | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,425 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00855935008047 | | Included Components | Tools | | Item Weight | 40823 g | | Manufacturer | PRIMEWELD | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | TIG225X | | UPC | 855935008047 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** PRIMEWELD - **Capacity:** 1500 ml - **Color:** BLACK - **Item Weight:** 40823 g - **Material:** Alloy Steel ## Images ![PRIMEWELD TIG225X 225 Amp IGBT AC DC Tig/Stick Welder with Pulse CK17 Flex Torch and Cable - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pCPO4MrHL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the duty rating?** A: 10 to 225 amps, AC/DC w/pulse, 120/240 volt, pre and post flow, Ck flex head torch 12 1/2' SF hose with 1/2" dinse with 5/8"x18 standard argon fittings. Duty cycle 120 volt TIG 40% @ 140, 100% @ 108 MMA 40% @ 120, 100% @ 76 Duty cycle 240 volt TIG 40% @ 225, 100% @ 155 MMA 40% @ 180, 100% @ 139 **Q: What are the electrical requirements for this welder? Typical 110v outlets are 15-20 amp, and typical 220v outlets are 15-50 amps, uaually 30 amps.** A: It comes with a 220 v 50 amp plug, however the power cord is only 12 gauge. If you pull 50 amps thru that you’ll be welding more at the back of the machine than the front! I’d guess it actually draws less than 30 amps judging by 12 gauge cord only being rated for 25 amps, and going by other answers. **Q: Is it possible to attach a watercooler to it after upgrading to a watercooled torch?** A: I have the 225 machine and love it people don't realize it comes with a c k 17 torch with the really nice flex lines I forget what they're called oh that is much more expensive to buy I bought ck20 torch water cooled it's the ck20 F water cool F is for flex head got all the same setup as what came with it to the same kind of hoses those flex hoses they are really nice I bought that through someone else the torch I also have it gotten off of Amazon A Mophorn water cooler 25 leader when I got it I was surprised at the size of it I thought it was going to be tiny it's not gigantic but it's big holds a lot of water 25 L was not a bad price on Amazon they also have smaller ones and that on Amazon same company I would recommend it dude remember you have to have a water cooled TIG torch which you can buy I like the 20 because his little bit smaller in size easier for me to handle tedious jobs ck 20 f water cool torch I'm not one big on recommended things to people but honestly dude the 225 is really a good machine watercolor cooler is the way to go if you can't afford it I cannot afford it but I figured I ain't going to buy too many more I also want to get a good Shepherd bigoli machine and then I'll be set I have a big now but I like a real good one the one I really want is really expensive good luck with your machine once you learn I guarantee you won't be disappointed **Q: Do they make tig mig stick and plasma combo welders?** A: Avoid the FIRTESS MP200. It only outputs 160 amps max. What is displayed is not what is output What Yeswelder calls lift tig is really scratch tig, big difference between the two. If you got it at earlybird kickstarter price it was an ok deal. Even with the short comings. However the ANDELI 220V MCT-520DPL has everything the MP200 has HF start but no 110V. That's the trade off. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ IT IS DEFINITELY WORTH THE MONEY *by W***L on February 4, 2023* I researched this welder (comparing it to other Tig welders) for over a year.

Pulse, AC, DC, high energy start. Pre and Post weld settings. It comes with both a 4Touch finger trigger and a 2Touch peddle. First time using a 4T trigger and may be my go-to controller. Haven't even used the peddle yet. The CK17 flex torch is high quality and considering the cost of package it is a double plus. It comes with a small starter pack of consumables. Aftermarket consumables for the torch are cheap and easy to find with the exception of the CK17 heat shield. Apparently it is unique to the CK17 torch and you can only to buy it from CK which makes it expensive. I could not find one aftermarket but I will keep looking. It all works well and the controls are well laid out. One small gripe: The labels on the controls and settings are really hard to read, impossible in low light. A hobbyist or a small shop will not outgrow this machine. One thing is they do recommend a 50amp 220v circuit and a 30 amp 110v circuit. Might not be right for a high volume, 8hour a day welding shop but it may survive for a couple of years. But you could buy three for the price of a Lincoln or Miller of similar capability. Manuals have a lot of information and are surprisingly good for a machine in this price range. It has the feel of a quality machine and it comes with a 3 year warranty. For the price this is an amazing machine. ## Frequently Bought Together - PRIMEWELD TIG225X 225 Amp IGBT AC DC Tig/Stick Welder with Pulse CK17 Flex Torch and Cable - YESWELDER Aluminum TIG Welding Rod ER4043 3/32"x16" 5LB --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/74658170-primeweld-tig225x-225-amp-igbt-ac-dc-tig-stick-welder](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/74658170-primeweld-tig225x-225-amp-igbt-ac-dc-tig-stick-welder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-26*
