The Lincoln to buy if you want one dual voltage machine that also does real AC TIG on aluminum. Skip it if you only MIG and stick weld steel.
Amazon $2,998.99The Lincoln Power MIG 220 AC/DC rates 2.6 among dual voltage MIG welders; the Lincoln Power MIG 262 rates 2.6 among 240 V ones. The Lincoln Power MIG 220 AC/DC costs $900 less ($2,998.99 vs $3,898.99).

A heavy 300 A MIG for serious fabrication shops with 240 V or industrial power. Home welders get more for the money from a dual voltage multiprocess machine.

Scores side by side
These two sit in different input voltage classes (dual voltage and 240 V), and each is scored against the reference points for its own class, so a rating says how well each does among its own input voltage peers. How we rank explains each factor.
