1. BEST BUDGET WELDER

Eastwood MIG 90 Front

SAVE 10% w/code THEBUILD10 on www.eastwood.com

The best budget welder based on specifications and price looks to be the Eastwood MIG 90 . You can start with the gas-less flux MIG 90 or upgrade the MIG 90 to support MIG at a later point in time with the additive MIG starter kit.

2. BEST MULTI PROCESS WELDER

Harbor Freight Titanium unlimited 200 front

The best multi-process welder from the specifications and price point would be the Titanium Unlimited 200 Multi-Process welder from Harbor Freight. For under $800, its a bargain.

3. MIG WELDER WITH PLASMA CUTTER

Yeswelder FIRSTESS MP200 Front

If you plan to cut lots of steel and prefer to plasma cut, then check out the Firstess MP200 from YesWelder. It supports MIG/Gasless, MIG/Lift, TIG, Stick, and plasma cutting. It’s a bit more expensive than the Titanium, but not everyone needs plasma cutting.
