Longevity MIG welder

[crazy_90]

hello everyone,

I'm looking to purchase my first MIG welder with spool gun capable at an affordable price. Does anyone have any experience with Longevity? They seem to have a reliable/portable MIG welder. I want some feedback before I make my decision.

Thanks in advance.

I have had the Miller DVI2 for about 7 years no issues at all. I"ve welded carbon steel, stainless, and aluminum all with no problems, I like the fact that I can use 110 or 220 just by changing the plug which is a simple twist lock. I use straight argon for everything. Cost a little more however I am not using it everyday either a bottle lasts me about 6 months or five 2lb spools, it also will take the larger spools too which I bought this last time. This goes for any MIG set ups but I always blow my liners out after every spool I haven't had to replace them yet. Just simple maintenance keep the equipment running top shape!

hello, i did look into Miller and Lincoln as well. as you mentioned the prices are more expensive. Longevity actually has a welder that is similar to one of Miller's 110/220v portable spoolgun capable but I could buy 2 Longevity's for the price of 1 miller. Longevity has a forum that i was looking into and alot of positive things on their MIG welders. I gave them a call and they gave me a great price for the welder and spool gun as well. And as far as I know they have the best warranty on the net which was a plus! I couldn't pass it up. I went ahead and purchased one and should be receiving it right away. I have 30 days for money back guarantee so hopefully everything works out, I think i made a good choice. Thanks for the info!

Those look nice and for sure way cheaper than Miller or Lincoln. I got a great deal on my setup also, as the school I went to let me order through them, saved me over $600. Let us know how it holds up! Be a great alternative!

Did you look for a used or new machine? An older Miller is still a great machine. I have 3 Miller 350p machines that are still running strong after 20+ pallets (yes pallets) of 035 wire has been run through them. I run 90/10 gas with excellent weld penetration.
