A great little welder – An excellent machine punching way above its weight with a 10A plug. Great little welder for DIY Show details

Definitely the best in the price range – This has all the features I need, along with a video available on the site of how to set it up, and a good manual. I was producing welds by the end of the first day, though it didn't have the connection for the gas hose to the regulator so I am using the one off the MIG, and I have ordered a 17 torch to use my old consumables. Show details ·  1

A high quality easy to use machine – I have been using this welder for a week and am very happy with it. I am new to TIG welding but found this machine really easy to use and understand the settings. Although easy to use it still has a high range of settings and I will be using this for my Youtube channel "The Bobber Vlog". Show details ·  1

Avoid! – Machine failed within half an hour of use. It will not start a weld at all. Returned to store where purchased and sent to Unimig in Sydney for repair. After 9 weeks I received the machine back only to find it still did not work. It did the exact same thing of not starting a weld. See video. When I asked for a repair docket my request was ignored.… Read more

Once again it is back with Unimig and I have had no update from them or the retailer I purchased through. It appears other people have had the exact same issue with this machine too. Avoid this dud of a welder.

TIG Learner – Still learning the machine - first time with a TIG and I was able to weld with some YouTube guidance. Once learned the welder will be used for the restoration of vintage motorcycles and cars. Show details ·  1

Awesome lightweight machine – Does everything you need with a ten amp plug. Quality welds are definitely achievable. If I brought again I would buy the 200 with 15amp plug though. Unimig consumables are expensive. Show reply

Enjoy the simple settings – Settings are easy to use, I have a foot peddle, never used. Perfect settings keep the welds true and consistent. Did have an issue, but contracted Unimig got fixed, no hassles. Show details ·  1

Absolute best TIG welder for the home user – I got this as my first TIG machine and have absolutely no complaints. For what I do at home, it is more than powerful enough, has all the features I need and is solid and reliable. I liked the T2 torch that came with it and still use it for large jobs, but ended up replacing it with a CK Worldwide CK9 which is a smaller, lighter torch and allows… Read more ·  2

for more options of consumables as I do a lot of thin aluminium and stainless steel. I feel this is neccessary when dealing with exotic metals like I do (stainless and titanium). The CK9 with flex lead works perfectly with no issues and really elevates this already fantastic machine to a new level!

Everything you need and with a 10a plug – I was using a Unimig 130amp stick/tig inverter for a few years but wanted a welder that would weld aluminium. Everyone I looked at used a 15amp plug, which I don't have access to. Then I found this unit with plenty of adjustable settings AND all using a 10 amp plug. !st project was a welding bench using stick and DC tig, very happy with welder… Read more ·  1

Easy to use and understand. Great welder would recommend – Couldn’t of asked for a better welder to suit my needs. As soon as I got it set up and welding for first time I knew it was quality and exactly what I wanted, I can also say the same for the other two I have. Cheers happy welding  Show details ·  1

A Good Unit – The Unimig Viper 180 AC/DC TIG is a nice product, feature rich and works as advertised. It is good for professional as well as the new beginner. Will operate just fine from a standard 10A socket. The HF start makes striking an arc very easy. All the other features of a good AC/DC TIG are there as well. The foot pedal is pretty much a necessity… Read more ·  1

for welding aluminium. If you can get a foot pedal as part of a redemption deal, go for it. My only regret now is: I should have got the Unimig Razor 200. Compact, with more power. Cheers, Rob

Welding fine S.S. wire – With this welder i was able to weld 1mm S.S. wire to 1.6mm S.S. wire. This is something that i could not do with my other TIG machine. I was even able to do this with a 2.4mm electrode! I also did my best ever fillet weld on 5mm bar.  Show details ·  1
