Bucket of crap. Been back to Unimig 2 times and they say there is nothing wrong. Cuts out when you arc the wire, need to turn off and reset. Then same thing happens. Nothing but problems from day 1, other brands must be better

Good machine – Well setup, easy to use. Haven’t tried the TIG yet, but high hopes

If I could give 0 stars that's what it would get. Upgraded to the 8m tig lead ,didn't work. Got sent out another adapter lead...didn't work. Got sent… Read more

a whole new lead then the gas line blew. Spent all that money and did about an inch of welding with it. Customer service fro. Unimig was absolutely appalling.

A great little piece of welding equipment – The light weight, ease of use, and 10 amp plug makes this a great unit for light structural stick welding and a very useful addition to my welding inventory.

Cannot go past this for Aluminium MIG welding – I mainly MIG weld aluminium. This is the best aluminium MIG welder I have ever used. This is my 2nd dual pulse welder and I can tell you I wasted 3… Read more

years on a SWS brand, the Unimig is immediately better, it's like night and day. I'm not saying there aren't other good welders out there but it's an expensive trial and error process. There is a good reason why you see Unimig in most fab shops you walk into. I've done a little steel with this welder, it's good for sure but its aluminium work is a standout.

great welder – Purchased this unit as a work item needed for welding RSJ and fence posts. It totally out performed my old welder and lays great welds using fluxcore wire. Great price, great unit, thoroughly recommend this product.

I know my mig is no longer available but it is still going strong. I am using it in an all steel extension of my mancave. Working up at 3 meter heights is no problem. Love my unimig.

I have used these machines for several years now most days and sometimes flat out all day. Personally have not seen one fail. I had to hunt high and… Read more

low across Australia to find a remaining one of these superseded models. Absolutely amazing little welder for the price! I would not have the new model for no other reason than the very loud fan that runs full noise for at least 5 full minutes every time it strikes an arc irrelevant of temperature. Very annoying in a quiet workplace like a home workshop. I actually bought the new model and returned it in disgust, It totally contradicts the advertised “smart fan” feature that Unimig advertises with the new model. What a shame. If you can find the KUM-M-RTIG200ACDC buy it and dont sell it! I Awesome welders so much better than the new model in my opinion.

Handyman welder of 50 years experience Stick/tig//mig & Oxy /aceteylene – Welder is very compact, light and runs very smoothly. It is a joy to use, has plenty of grunt. Leads were of a better quality than I expected

Not Suitable For Professional Use – I’ve been in the metal trades since the mid-90s and used every brand of professional welder available. I recently started with a company who have a… Read more

small fabrication department used to support their main business and equipped their workshop with Unimig welders. This was my first exposure to Unimig and a disappointing one at that. The main issue is the welders don’t have any way to adjust burnback, which is an absolute essential control used to prevent the wire becoming stuck in the weld upon finishing and setting wire stick-out for starting the next weld. Every welder I’ve ever used prior to Unimig had a simple dial to set burnback to the users liking. I’ve been in contact with Unimig customer support who confirmed their newer welders do not have burnback control. Consequently, excessive wire stick-out needs to be clipped before starting the next weld, which is time consuming and annoying. The deletion of a burnback control is blatant “corner cutting” and raises concerns over what other corners have been cut on the welder’s internals? Compared to the professional welders I'm used to, Unimig is a budget Chinese machine suitable for DIY use only.

Amazing machine – I have had this welder for some time now and it just never stops, it replaced a little compact 180 unimig that still runs after 25 years. Love these machines

Great Plasma Cutter with internal air compressor – This little Unimig plasma cutter is so simple to use and for me the best selling point is that it has an internal air compressor. So just plug in,… Read more

turn on and cut. Don't need to have a workshop air compressor. And well done Unimig on the new trigger design. I hated other trigger safety covers as they always get in the way. Unimig trigger on the gun is much more user friendly with a push and slide down button safety feature.

Update 03/2024 I dropped to 3 star as one of the capacitors on the circuit board had a dry soldered joint that was arcing bad. I re soldered the joint myself as I couldn't be bothered with warranty waiting times as I live out bush and needed to use it.

Excellent Service and Attention to Detail – I rate this service agent highly due to my satisfying written communications, phone calls and finally a visit to the service centre. The tech service… Read more

fellow, John Tresham, I had been in communication with multiple times via email and phone calls due to a perceived constant problem with my recently-purchased UNIMIG Viper Synergic MIG Welder.

Although the welder had a 12 + 6 month warranty, due to interstate travel, illness and other delays, I was not able to get down there within that time. So it was just out of warranty. However, even though it was Friday afternoon, and he was due to go on leave the next week, John was unrushed and patient in his attention to my problem. He spent lots of time discussing various and interesting welding-related things and electronics, as well as hooking up the gas and giving my machine a good test and examination.

Even though this machine is classed as an 'entry level' beginner's welder and no doubt looked on as a toy by professional welders, this agent still gave me the same personal attention, time and respect as he no doubt would have with a big spender customer with a $3000 welder.

And even though he couldn't duplicate the fault I was experiencing, I went away with more knowledge and confidence in using it. Although I don't have 100% confidence that the issue won't return, I have not had the problem reoccur as yet, so it's possible that the issue was fixed in that examination and adjustment by him.

Note that it's increasingly common these days for staff at companies to ignore emails, or at the very least to give lazy and ineffectual replies. And when calling via phone, to give non-helpful or ignorant information. I'm so glad this service centre is not one of these! Staff here seem to be a credit to the company. Thanking you.
