I do, I really like it, I have used the mig function the most but it is a capable stick welder and a fantastic tig welder. For stick welding I ran through some E6011, E6013, E7018s and it did great no troubles with the 6011s (havent tried 6010s). Tig welding with it is great but I usually use my 256s for tig projects and this is mostly for mig.
I was going to order from Everlast the 251si ..but came across many posts on the welder forum about them charging for the feed rollers to run simple flux core..thats unacceptable and in my opinion just a way to extract more money from the customer..also waiting weeks and weeks for parts and accessories to be shipped...again thats unacceptable ...sorry but if a product line want's carve out a place along side of Miller and Lincoln their gonna have to do a much better job...
s smith as for the rollers if you want to run Flux core you have to order the rollers to do so. They are 20$ but if you sweet talk the salesmen I'm sure they would include them. (talk to oleg@everlast sales) and yes I very much recommend this welder it has a lot of versatility.
s smith maybe you should just buy a miller than. You will soon learn they all do that. We ditched ESAB and have 4 Everlast in our machine shop now. The service is the same. Go call Miller customer service and let me know how far you get and how long you wait for parts that you will have to pay for anyway. Just saying. Everyone things the big brands have great customer support ( thay don’t) just a name like Nike, Reboc
Mark A from what I understand the 251si has this feature but the 211si does not. I will further research it but looking at my welder I do not see where this is an option.
+Mark a I could be wrong but having used this welder for almost a year I haven't found that feature and am pretty sure there is an asterisk at the bottom of the manual (which is (I believe) for both the 211 and 251si models) saying that Is for the 251 model. The seconds label lights up when you are adjusting burnback, upslope, downslope, preflow, and postflow. I would check the Everlast website for both models, and if this is a feature you require I would check out the 251si. Chucke2009 has full feature videos on both I would recommend his channel as well.
may want to put your dog in another room. you can burn his eyes too
Did u have to get a different mig gun for flux core as the directions state ? I have 5 spools of flux core but am hesitant to use them
been a few..you still recommend this welder? Not many reviews on this

s smith you can buy the miller 211 for another $500 and not get a tig torch. Having to order a roller is minimal

Manual says the welder has Spot and Stitch mode. Do you know how that is set?

I double checked the manual and under features it lists Spot an Stitch. I see there is an LED on the face panel labeled seconds.
