Great after sales (and after warrantee) service – I bought one of these in 2021. It has worked really well for me. I have used it quite a bit with both flux core and solid wire. I had to put new wire in yesterday and when I finished the wire wouldn't feed. I checked the manual and watched the how to video online with no luck. Today I found an email address for CIGWeld enquiries and sent a… Read more ·  1

message describing the issue. 5 hours later I got a reply suggesting a setting that may be wrong. I checked and found that the setting was wrong, corrected it and it is working again. The machine is out of warrantee. I wasn't optimistic when I sent the email. I am very happy with the afters sales service I received.

A top quality, solid performer – The Cigweld Ultra 185 Welder is a true workhorse, boasting an impressive array of capabilities. Its versatility in handling MIG, TIG, and stick welding makes it a top contender in the market. While it's notable that it specifically operates on DC Lift TIG and doesn't support AC, its solid build and premium appearance speak volumes about its… Read more ·  1

quality.

One of its standout features is the convenience of operating on a standard 10 amp Australian household power outlet, making it incredibly accessible for users. The digital controls on the MIG gun offer a practical advantage, enabling adjustments without the need to constantly move back to the main unit. However, it's worth noting that these controls might be prone to accidental adjustment when wearing thick gloves, which could be a minor inconvenience for some users.

This welder's compatibility with both gas and gasless wire is a significant advantage, providing flexibility in welding options. Additionally, the synergic functionality simplifies the process by allowing users to dial in the metal thickness and get started promptly. The memory storage for settings further enhances its user-friendly nature, accommodating around a dozen settings, which is quite practical for various welding tasks.

The clarity of the screen, coupled with a robust protective cover, ensures visibility and durability, vital for a seamless welding experience. Overall, the Cigweld Ultra 185 Welder seems like a comprehensive package, offering the essential components required for immediate welding. Its efficiency, coupled with user-friendly features, makes it a solid choice for both novice and experienced welders.

Stacks of power – I read a lot of reviews before purchasing. I brought this machine and couldn’t be happier. As soon as I opened the box I cranked it to max power and layed a fillet weld down on 8mm mild steel with 0.8 wire. The results were a 5-6mm flat clean fillet. As good as any big industrial machines I’ve used in my 14 years of boilermaking. Show details ·  1

20% duty of a 10amp plug – Only 10 amp machine I know of that has a decent duty cycle that can be used in every standard GPO. The deeper you look into the setting of this machine in manual mode the better it gets for MIG. Show reply

Great after sales services – Recently bought the Cigweld 185Ultra. Very happy with its capability for the work I was doing however, had a problem with the MIG wirefeed. Was returned to the dealer for a warranty repair however the failure was noticed by the Cigweld team who followed up and prioritised the repair. When it appeared the part shipping would be delayed, Cigweld… Read more ·  1

Awesome machine that exceeded my expectations – This machine was securely packaged and once unboxed was very easy to assemble. After a few practice welds to get familiar with the digital screen and controls of this new style of machine (my previous machine was an old school CIGWELD 200i with clunky switches) the first job was to repair my father-in-law’s mower deck which it did easily. A few… Read more ·  1

simple button pushes and I was dialled. In no time at the job was done and done well. The only criticism I have was my “Promo Kit” was supplied with the wrong MIG gun. After a quick message to CIGWELD it was confirmed that I indeed had the incorrect gun and the correct gun was sent to me via courier 2 days later. The after sales support was faultless, thanks very much.

Simple To Use and Excellent Aftersales Support – Semi new to MIG and always wanted to learn TIG. The 185 Ultra makes it easy and the auto setup is fantastic and easy to use. Had an issue with a gun, but the aftersales support at CIGWeld was brilliant and no questions new part posted and sorted. As we are flooded with more overseas product, I will always pay extra for hassle free support. Thanks CIGWeld! Show details ·  1

Cant imagine life without the 185 ultra – The Transmig 185 Ultra, Is as simple as it gets, I have been a maintenance fitters for 20+ years and CIGWELD has been my go to brand. With all the great product CIGWELD is promoting I decided it was time to upgrade from my  wire wasp as I wanted to start some home projects and also teach my son the art of welding as he has shown a keen interest. … Read more ·  1

 

The transmig 185 Ultra ticked all the boxes I wanted something easy to use and wanted to run on 10 amps and the ability to weld at max 8mm .Having the synergic function where I can select material thickness and also have the flexibility to adjust outside of the preset settings as well as adjust settings manually if i wanted was a no brainer

 

Great product Cigweld  and thank you to the local local rep who was was next level he knows product can demo he knows his trade.

 

Thanks Cigweld five stars from me.

Everything you want in a welding machine!!! – The Cigweld Transmig 185 Ultra Autoset welder is worth every cent. We use them in our industrial school setting and the students put them through constant use hour after hour each day. They are tough, well made and very easy to use. The auto settings allows you a quick and easy set up for all materials and thicknesses. The display is very easy to read and I wish we had purchased these machines earlier. Happy students and teachers……… Show details ·  1

Easy to set up on auto – Worked well straight out of the box. First I ran 0.9 gasless and apart from the usual gasless spatter it ran well. nice crisp sounding arc that produces nice welds. Then I loaded 0.8 and ran 5/2 Argon on 2.0 - 6.0mm mild steel. Very nice welds - almost no spatter. Last I dug up a roll of 0.8 that gave me trouble in the past (cheap stuff). Set up… Read more ·  1

on auto, it tended to burn back up the wire, but adjusting the wire feed on the torch (easy as) stopped that. So I'm happy.

Perfect machine for general fabrication on site – Welds beautifully in all modes, easy adjustments which means less downtime on site. 10 amp plug for ease of use on site. Rated for mig welding 6mm plate with 0.9 wire but can weld 10-12 mm plate in the vertical up position with good penetration. Show details ·  1

Should have had one years ago – Found the 185 Ultra very easy to set up for deferent materials and thicknessers. I had not used a mig before and found it a dream to weld with, I am using gasless wire at this sage and find it fine for the welding I do. I find the 185 has good quality leads plugs and general fitting as is the hand peace, The display is easy to read and set up… Read more ·  1

especially for a novice welder. All in all very happy with the 185. I find it a lot harder to blow holes in fine material like my old stick welder. Should have had one year ago.

Awesome welder – Bought this welder purely because of its auto features. I’m new to welding and it makes life extremely easy. Done some big projects with it now doesn’t let me done being a 185. More options than I currently need but as I get more experience they will come in handy down the track. Recommend to anyone!! Even my 14 year old uses it. Show details ·  1

Ultimate welder – I brought this welder a bit over a year ago. It’s the perfect welder for the shed or work. Super easy to set up and use. I would recommend it for any first timer, as it takes the guess work out of setting one up with the easy to use LCD display. Really happy with it, Definitely a worth wild investment. Show details ·  1
