Always enjoyed metal fabrication & laying that perfect weld down every time is a must. Setting this little beast up was simple, quick & the way Unimig has made the Viper 182 is perfect for me.

Was recommended by a friend, This is awesome welder, coming from just a stick, makes my little jobs fun. Easy to use was given a run down by where I bought it from Sedl Agencies on how to use it and install wire correctly.

I’ve owned a basic Mig Welder for home hobbyist work for twenty years and can’t believe how good this machine is. I’ve always used solid wire/argon and that’s how I use this machine. Neat features like burn back control to prevents those constant wire sticking problems, and the manual feed button for loading and trimming wire.

But best of all it produces beautiful welds, without stutter, I’m loving it.

The welder has done all that I have asked of it since I bought it. I, as yet, haven't tried the stick welder as the MIG is doing everything I need. As the title says, great home workshop welder.

The title says it all. Total waste of money. Built worse than the titanic. Cheap build quality from the flimsy parts to the loose screws holding it together. And the guide settings for material thickness was totally useless. It's more suited to being a kids toy than a proper welder.

Great welder it took me about an hour or so to get the settings for the different metals just right but now Im welding everything from thin tubings to 10-15 mm steel. I highly recommend this welder for the home welder to the more experienced

This viper is a great little home welder, I love the mig in particular, it was easy to set up following the instructions and after a little practise it performed very well. The stick welding side of this welder took some more practise and was a little more difficult to master, however much more acquainted now. The instructions were great and I believe the quality of the Unimig is also great. I would recommend to buy this unit (a friend already has !) . I got a good deal at Sydney Tools and the guys looked after me well. In hindsight, I would have purchased a better quality helmet, as it doesn't matter how good the welder is if you have trouble seeing the weld. Overall Unimig was a great purchase for me.

Bought from Nubco Launceston. Welds everything from .6mm steel through to 10mm with no problems, no overheating whatsoever. Used with gas and gasless wires but prefer gas. Stick welding is good, but find it a little hard to start somtimes. Puts good size filets down no worries. Being a retired Boilermaker makes it easy to use.

this is my 2nd vipre, had a bit of trouble, no 9mm wire wheel available for gas a but i use 8ml wire works great fot the money its out classes other mig in the same category and price, i cannot kill this mig never has a duty failure excellent product and need be will buy again. bought from ADG welding at st. marys and the staff there are excellent and alway willing to help in any way.. dave law...mt druitt

This is a great multipurpose welder for a very reasonable price. I think the duty cycle is understated by Unimig as I have welded for decent periods with no problems.The best part is the 10amp plug and with a long lead the inverter welder will burn 3.2 rods no problem right up the backyard.I use the .9 flux cored wire and have no probs with 1.6 shs. I wish I had gotten one sooner. Johno

purchase 3 years ago stopped working returned for repairs unimig service n.s.w, they lost my hand piece, very hard to get in contact with and do not answer emails,, spend the extra dollars buy better, old telwin lasted 10 years hard work, don't recommend

Ive had the 182 viper for 18 months.
I ran gasless for 6 months and was very happy with the outcome.
I then got gas and this little welder is now comparable to much much larger and more expensive welders that ive used.
The duty cycle is only 10% at 180 amps.... i beleive this means 6 mins per hour..
Although this sounds like not much welding time i dont often run it at max power and it has never shutdown for cooldown.
I love this welder..
