Hobart 500555 Champion 145 Review

I bought mine at Tractor Supply because Amazon didn't have any when I was ready to purchase.

Right out of the box, started first time (as it does all the time). Fairly easy to pull to start, if you have a shoulder or an arm problem, it might be more difficult.

I've been using mine for about a month and a half, (10 plus hours), no complaints. Motor runs at full speed all the time, does not have an idle down feature like the Miller version for about $800 plus more. This one has the wheel kit included, nice. I added the quick connectors for the cable, makes it really convenient for adding / removing the cables. (about $30)

Great for occasional use, well made sturdy machine, and heavy. Would like to have had an hour meter as standard, but I did add one to it for around $30. (comes standard on the Miller)

Great for the home, farm, ranch where you need the portability. If you need it for everyday, I'd suggest spending a lot more for a more substantial machine.

July 5th UP-DATE....Have been using mine periodically, probably have about 20 hours on it. Works great, no complaints, still starts with one pull. I made a lifting eye for it similar to the one you can buy for $125. Mine cost about $10 in materials and about 2-3 hours of my labor which is "FREE". I carry my welder with my tractor bucket hook to the location I need it. Highly recommend this option either factory or homemade.

August 17th UP-DATE....Still running strong, no complaints. Starts with one pull everytime as long as there is no "pilot error" (forget to switch on) Been welding a lot of 16ga pipe with 3/32 6011. Tricky but gets the job done. I'm not an expert but welds come out nice.
