4 Lincoln Electric
Country: USA
Rating (2022): 4.9
The oldest manufacturer of welding equipment just recently celebrated 125 years since its founding. The company actively competes with industry leaders by developing new technologies, improving safety practices, expanding service support for its customers and producing educational materials. The company produces traditional and inverter welding machines for work in workshops and field conditions, as well as consumables for joining various metals and alloys.
In the reviews, users confirm the high quality of workmanship and compliance of the devices with the declared characteristics. Field models demonstrate high quality connections when connected to generators, and industrial rectifiers have fairly good resistance to negative factors. At the same time, the manufacturer relies on professional welders, so the cost of products can hardly be called affordable.
3 BLUEWELD
Country: Italy
Rating (2022): 4.9
The widest range of welding machines is represented in 120 countries by BLUEWELD. Since the founding of the enterprise (1963), employees have been tirelessly developing new designs, introducing innovative technologies. As a result, the Spotter I-Plus 12000 was recognized as the best equipment for spot welding in 2010. The service centers of the auto giants Ford and Honda began to be equipped with it. The company has built an extensive dealer network, providing its customers not only with the possibility of equipment maintenance, but also with employee training services.
In our country, the BLUEWELD Prestige 216 PRO welding inverter has become popular.

In the reviews, users praise the device for its lightness, reliability and versatility. With good electrodes, you can get a perfect quality seam.
2 ESAB
Country: Sweden
Rating (2022): 5.0
World leader in the development of equipment and consumables for welding, cutting and surfacing. It is the Swedish company that stands at the origins of the most important developments in welding technologies - SAW, TIG and MIG / MAG. Through constant development, the company is far ahead of its closest competitors, offering innovative solutions for various industries and fields of activity - from the production of offshore platforms to the manufacture of wind turbine towers.
ESAB's product range truly includes a wide range of welding machines for all applications, from compact and lightweight inverters to rugged and powerful industrial rectifiers. However, if you choose a model for home use, we recommend looking for other options - the cost of most devices is quite high, and the prices for servicing in official service centers are also far from ideal.
