Nearly Perfect Welder-PMCT 205
Reviewed in the United States
Name: Chris/Steph
As a welding enthusiast and professional, I have been searching for a welding equipment that offers exceptional performance, comprehensive functionality, and excellent value for money. Recently, I had the opportunity to try out the new multi-functional welder from the DECAPOWER brand, and I am pleased to share my experience and impressions in this review.
Product Performance
This thing is a beast. The only complaint I have is that the air and gas connectors were not standard to what you’d typically find in NA. With that said, they were easy to swap out and adapt to my compressor for cutting and to my argon for Tig. I also talked with the manufacturer about this and I believe it will be revised for future iterations of the welder, which is great!
I already own several Tig torches so it was no big deal that it didn’t come with one, but maybe a cheap wp-26 torch would be a good addition they could include in the future for those who don’t have one yet. It does come with a plasma torch that feels great in hand, as well as a wire feed mig torch. It also had adjustability for the various wires you’ll run.
I’m really impressed with the overall quality of the torches and accessories. The plasma torch alone is better than my ESAB torch. For the price, I’m blown away.
Build Quality
The build quality is OUTSTANDING. I’d argue that it’s on par or better than offerings from Everlast, Vulcan, or big box store brands. It’s large and heavy, in a good way. It screams high quality. It’s definitely a production level machine and I have been using it for well over 2 months now. Longevity is yet to be seen but I did open it up and I would put it up against anything else on the market.
Conclusion
If you are looking for a great all arounder that will get the job done, I’d pick one up over the other Amazon brands, personally. Having talked with the manufacturer, they know what they are doing and they listen to feedback. It’s rare that you find a company that gets back to you but they did an outstanding job not only addressing my concerns, but asking for feedback they can use to improve.
I wouldn’t be surprised if you see them overtaking AHP, YesWelder, and other well known Amazon brands in the near future.
10/10 would buy again and 10/10 would trust to weld anything I’d throw at it, without a hiccup. If you’re looking for an all around machine that can do it all, grab this without question. It’s prices competitively, it’s not cheesy and it will 100% get the job done.
