My Cyclone 212ES review

[ArlyA]

Anyone here using the Cyclone 212ES? I so, tell us what you think of it. I should add I'd put 035 fluxcore wire in it to do steel projects with it. Thanks!

Well gee, no responses here but there are reviews on Amazonie but its a few bucks less on the manufacturers web site.

Maybe nobody has purchased one and used it.... Never have any faith in sellers endorsement, to easy for seller to fake positive reviews....

The reviewers say the ground cord is ridiculously short on the Cyclone 200ES. I think I'll get a cart and some .035 contact ends with it. What else??

If you are ordering .035 contact tips it would indicate to me you intend to use .035 wire, so need to order .035 drive roller.... Spec sheet says it only comes with .023-.030 drive roller....

Amazon has no-hassle 30 day free return on most items. Check to see if it applies here. That to me is worth a few dollars. If you decide it's not what you expected, just send it back.

And - this return policy results in occasional as-new discounted items priced below the full price new units. I've saved some money that way.

I ordered it this am. Not sure what cart at this point.

Should upsell to the larger 212?? Amazonie originally had a ship in the week, then changed it to this fall for a Cyclone 200ES.

I finnaly got a Cyclone 212 on order!

@ArlyA. Have you used your Cyclone 200ES yet? I noticed that you planned to use yours for flux-core welding. How has that worked out for you?

No I've not becase I'm off of work with damaged ligament in my arm-wrist and can't do much. I got soild .035 wire for it, just sitting in a box....

Oh, man!! Sorry to hear that. I hope you recover quickly and get back to your normal operations soon, bud!

For the past 20 years I'll I have ran is .035 and 40 (or 45?) wire and I love that stuff. I did run flux core but that was many years ago ans no plan for flux core today. That stuff makes a mess!

 

[ArlyA]

Have put it into service AND LIKE IT. The ground cord is overly short and will ordered another longer one..

 

[ArlyA]

I ordered a 15ft ground cable for it today. What it comes with is TOO short.

Everlast isn't the only one that makes you pay extra for what shoulda been included - when I bought my Miller MM211 I tried to get them to just charge me the difference and give me the 15' mig gun (instead of the 10' it comes with) - no go. So I bought a 15' gun, and the 10 footer will probably sit in one of my welding parts drawers til they "pat me in the face with a shovel" -

Sorry about your wrist, that can sure put a damper on things - I spent my last YEAR (before retiring) on 70% after a right shoulder rotator cuff and muscle re-attachment operation - took almost a month before I could lift my coffee cup - I DID learn to do more things with my LEFT hand tho ...

Oh well, I was warned about the short ground in reviews before I got it. I welded for years and years and this is the 1st one I ever bought and having much fun with it.

 

[ArlyA]

Still occasionally using my everlast and loving it.
