Lincoln ElectricK4876-1 POWER MIG 215 MPi Multi-Process Welder

Great welder! Have used a PRO-MIG 135 for the last 15 years for trailer repairs, body rust repairs and such... bought this to get into DC TIG. Definitely like the features and the seller did exactly what they promised 👍

small issue, resolved without any hiccups. you guys are awesome and i got a sweet new model at great price!

Use this little welder in our fab shop and it’s been a great little machine! Runs great on both 120 and 230. I haven’t used any of the TIG settings yet however stick, MIG and Flux all run very nicely and easy to weld a wide range of thickness of materials. Wish I had gotten one years ago!

I bought a 215 because the local shop didn't have a miller. I was mad about this. However after a month of daily use I'm completely satisfied with the lincoln 215. Very happy with how it lays a vertical and overhead weld. I'm the type of person who finds fault in everything. But this welder is perfect.

I bought this welder to be a replacement for my 180hd mig welder so I would also have a stick welder in one unit. I bought my unit in 2023 and it immediately had problems.The power flow through when welding was highly erratic and kept blowing all my tips straight away (wire would stop feeding properly and/or the amperage would jump and blow up the wire and weld the wire inside the tip.A little bit of playing around with the unit and it was clear the wire feed was very inconsistent (for certain).I took it to a Lincoln service center and they replaced the unit. From what I was told, the power controller in the units of that “era” had problems.It took 3 months for everything to get ironed out (backorder on parts, etc.).The replacement unit seems to be working very well and welds smoother than my older lincoln 180hd and has a really nice torch.If I hadn’t had the drama of getting it fixed I would give this a 5 star rating.Lincoln has been a brand of welder my family has used for 50 yrs and I am glad they got me fixed up. This is my 3rd lincoln (just for me) and my folks have two more which have been running smooth for a very long time.While a lincoln costs some $, they are a sharp improvement over the cheapy welders which are now common. If you are an active hobbyist that’s going to put more than 20 lbs of wire through a welder in a year, I recommend you get a lincoln as you will improve your chances of getting a better weld. A Lincoln will deliver the amps and wire feed you set it in and it has some brains in it that will help get welds started and keep your projects on track. I think this is extra important if you’re welding anything where a weld failure can lead to serious consequences (such as trailer fabrication or building structures).For pro level performance, this welder is probably fine for smaller jobs but a pro that’s going to run a welder several hours a day for years should naturally consider a machine designed for that kind of wear and tear.

When I opened the box, I found that the machine had been dented

This is a high quality machine. The Diamond core features are great . I like the Inductance control on wire welding and the hot start/Arc force settings on SMAW welding. I bought the amptrol pedal and I find that the Tig welding capabilities - within their power limits, of about 20 - 160 amps - are as good as you'll find on a higher end Tig machine.My only complaint with Lincoln, and its not a really serious complaint, is that they. ought to make a spool gun worthy of the mid power multi -process machines like the 211 and the 215
