The 211 is perfect for the home hobby enthusiast or motorsports guy that doesn’t necessarily have 220 in their home
But for the home hobby enthusiast and average garage “guru” what affordable options are there? Well at the 2011 SEMA Show we ran into Miller Welders and their Millermatic 211 Auto-Set with MVP that is a affordable entry level option for someone looking to get their first and dependable welder.
The 211 has has many features that makes it ideal for the car enthusiasts, but one of the best features it the Multi-voltage plug. The plug can be changed to work with standard 110 wiring or 220 by simply changing the plug fitting.
“The 211 is perfect for the home hobby enthusiast or motorsports guy that doesn’t necessarily have 220 in their home,” says Erica Turner. “The other thing to remember is the fact that most tracks don’t have 220 if something goes wrong at the dragstrip or speedway.”
The 211 retails for just over $1,000 and can can weld up to 3/8″ steel and aluminum. The auto-set feature also allows for the beginner to set their size of metal and wire size, and then have the machine determine all the other settings for you.
