TOP 5 Multi Process Welders 2023

By Amelia Darwine •  Updated: 08/01/22 •  2 min read

If you are interested in welding, you might want to think about getting a multi-process welder. It will save you money as you get one machine that does three processes instead of three separate machines for each process. This also makes it much easier to move your machine around or set up in different places because it takes up less space than three separate welders would.

Best Multi Process Welder

All the multi process welders listed can perform MIG, TIG and Stick.

Most multi process welders are DC TIG only. This means you won’t be able to TIG weld aluminum if you have a DC multiprocess welder. If you want to TIG weld aluminum you’ll need a multiprocess welder with AC/DC TIG.

1. ESAB Rebel 205ic AC/DC

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.6 / 5)

The ESAB Rebel 205ic is an amazing machine, its biggest selling point is its ability to perform quality AC/DC HF TIG, allowing you to TIG weld aluminum. It can also performs well with challenging 6010 stick electrodes. It’s more expensive than the ESAB 215ic and less powerful—but if you’re looking for the ultimate all-in-one welder with MIG, Stick, Flux-Core and AC TIG capabilities, this is the one for you with the ability for AC TIG only.

The Smart MIG boasts Smart technology to increase welding performance and results. The machine adapts to your welding technique, helping you produce quality results with less training. You don't need to set all your parameters; just the metal thickness and wire diameter and it's good to go.

The TIG output is also great. With DC TIG for steel and AC TIG to aluminum. The welds are smooth and you can use lift start TIG or a foot pedal with adjustment up to 400 Hz.
This machine is also pretty compact, weighing 49 lbs. It's a multi-process welder that can handle any type of job around your workshop or take it out on site. It's an all-around welder that suits everyone's needs.

Pros
  • TIG welds aluminum
  • Portable
  • Stick welds 6010
  • Smart MIG
  • Clear and intuitive digital display
  • Dual voltage
  • 3 year warranty
Cons
  • Expensive

2. Lincoln Electric PowerMIG 210MP

Lincoln Electric Powermig 210 Mp #K3963-1

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.6 / 5)
as of March 5, 2024 10:58 am

The 210 is one of our favorite multiprocess welders. With an excellent on-screen display, it lets you key in your figures for metal thickness, wire thickness and gas mix and then applies the settings automatically. This is perfect if you’re not that experienced at choosing the welder settings. The welds are typical from a Lincoln machine—smooth and great quality. The 210 is also very light for a powerful multiprocess welder—only 40 pounds! The weight and versatility of this machine make it a popular choice among contract welders. It's also great as a MIG/Stick machine if you already have a TIG machine.

Pros
  • Intuitive digital display
  • Superior build quality
  • Portable just 40lbs
  • Dual voltage
Cons
  • TIG kit is not included
  • Not capable of AC TIG

3. Everlast PowerMTS 251si

2021 Everlast PowerMTS 251Si Pulse MIG TIG Stick 250amp 110v/220v Multi Process Welder

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.6 / 5)
as of March 5, 2024 10:58 am

Everlast has built a multi-process welder that’s powerful, versatile and available at an excellent price. There are lots of options with this welder; it comes with MIG, TIG and Stick welding as well as Synergic MIG, Pulse MIG and Pulse TIG modes with high frequency start not just lift start. These modes are super smooth and I’m really impressed with the overall build quality of this welder. The stick mode also offers hot start intensity and duration controls. The front panel might look intimidating because there’s a lot of options on it, but the user manual explains everything clearly so you can understand how to set them up. The price point makes this a very attractive model compared to similar brands; it comes with a TIG torch, TIG pedal and consumables included making it the best bang for buck option out there in that price range!

Pros
  • TIG torch and food pedal included
  • High Frequency start
  • Memory function to save favorite settings
  • Automatically adjusts wire feed speed
  • Powerful unit available at a great price
Cons
  • Front panel can be intimidating
  • Not the same build quality as Miller or Lincoln

4. Miller Multimatic 215

Miller 951674 Multimatic 215 Multiprocess Welder with TIG Kit

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5 / 5)
as of March 5, 2024 10:58 am

The Miller Multimatic 215 is a really reliable machine. Miller welders have excellent build quality and are built to last. It doesn’t include as many accessories as you might have hoped for the price, but it does come with a spool gun but not a TIG torch. The digital display is helpful, however, the user interface isn’t as nice as the Esab Rebel. It’s still easy to use and they walk you through the setup really clearly on the small digital display. You can pretty much plug it in and it’s ready to go. I like the two gas inputs, which you don’t get with other multi process welders of this class. This means you won’t have to switch your gas tank over when you want to change between TIG and MIG because you can hook up both tanks.

Pros
  • Very reliable with superior build quality
  • Two gas inlets to help easily switch between processses
  • Portable
Cons
  • More expensive than other welders in class
  • TIG kit is not included

5. Everlast PowerMTS 211si

2019 Everlast Power Equipment PowerMTS 211Si MIG TIG Stick 200amp 110v/220v Multi Process new Welder

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.4 / 5)
as of March 5, 2024 10:58 am

The 211si is the smaller brother to our favorite all-around multi-process welder, the 251si. This machine is equally great value and ready for TIG with a TIG torch and pedal included. These welders are really well built with great care taken with their components and arrangement. A few years ago people were unsure if these welders would be able to compete with Miller and Lincoln, but these Everlast welders have been proven to stand the test of time.

Pros
  • High Frequency start
  • TIG kit included
  • Great value
Cons
  • User interface can be intimidating
  • Not the same build quality as Miller or Lincoln
