Anyone using a 220V Hobart 175? Do you like it? Is it reliable?
Might make a trade for one....my 135 Handler is tough as nails, but getting a little small for me, its only 120V

I have a miller 175 works great bin using it for 8 years now
the hobart 175 is a cheaper miller 175 i think
Hobart uses plastic components where Millers have metal. Otherwise I think the design is pretty much the same great welder

I was just looking a Hobart welders in a Car Quest sales catalog.
140 amp is $695
210 amp is $995
That's a great price on a 210 welder, hope I can save enough money by Jan 14th!

Otherwise I think the design is pretty much the same great welder Hobart and Miller are both owned by the same company and share manufacturing facilities and design. Some of the Hobarts have plastic drives, but I got buddy to check this 175 I'm interested in, and he said they are steel. My 135 is steel too. and it has the gas purge, I like that for setting the flow rate. |

My hobart 140 has metal drive wheels as well. From what I can tell, its a rebadged miller. Hell, even the gun says miller on it lol.
