5 best budget welding inverters in 2020 for home and garden

An inverter is a welding device that many people need for home and summer cottages. The device is lightweight (from 3 kg.). Consumes a small amount of electricity (2 times less than a rectifier or transformer).

The device operates on a regular network. The inverter can cook stainless steel, steel, cast iron.

Devices are divided into professional, household and industrial. The difference is in the time of continuous work. Household inverters can work for 30 minutes, and then you need to take a break for an hour. The professional device works longer - up to 8 hours.

The seam quality of these inverters is no different. Only the cost differs. Household costs from 3-12 thous. rub. Professional from 15 000 rub.

We will show today a rating of the best, functional inverters that adjust the parameters themselves. So that even those who will work with them for the first time will succeed.

The most inexpensive and reliable - Eurolux IWM190

It is inexpensive, compact and lightweight (3.7 kg.). Works perfectly even with low voltage (actual in the country).

Any wiring will withstand (plus the device in power consumption). The seam comes out smooth and strong.

There is overload protection. There is only one drawback - short wires. The fan runs quietly.

Even professional welders praise such a tool, despite its small, toy size.

Fubag IR 200

Also pluses in the compactness of the device, power, lightness. It is convenient to set the amperage, holds the arc perfectly.

Negative: short power wires. Many people notice that the fans are quite noisy.

Svarog REAL ARC

A little more expensive, but convenient in that there are normal, long wires (3 meters). Low weight of the device (3.9 kg.), Durable metal case.

Lights up all electrodes without problems. There is such a function - anti-stick (lowers the current, protecting the electrode from sticking).

There is a rubberized, comfortable handle. Cooking is a pleasure, the welder will serve for a long time. The plus is that the device is so noisy. Wide voltage range.

Fubag IR 200 (MMA)

Powerful and compact. Weight 4, 64 kg. It costs from 6,600 rubles. Brews softly and easily, the seam is gently laid down.

It does not make as much noise during work, does not howl, like some. Confident burning and ignition. If the mains voltage is low, still handle the job. Stable arc.

Cons: fans are noisy and short cables (1.5-2 m.). Many are outraged that there is no sticking system declared by the manufacturer. Sometimes it sticks a lot.

RESANTA SAI-220

The best device among the "handbrake". Weight -5 kg. Welding quality is excellent. The arc burns smoothly and strikes quickly and easily. Again, a minus that many people notice - short wires. But for some, this is not a problem.

Quality seams and metal cutting. Anti-stick electrode, hot start. Strong case, wide range of current settings, good duty cycle (70%), there is a case.

Many note that there is no afterburner function, and does not tolerate hypothermia very well. For welding with 5 mm electrodes. not suitable. A budget welding machine will last a long time if you handle it carefully. Works 8 hours a day. A good device for home and garden. Costs from 7790 rubles.
