Specifications checked 31 October 2026 · MLC editorial team · UK trade workshop perspective
A multi-process welder runs MIG, TIG and stick from one machine, which suits a workshop that does a bit of everything. The details that decide the purchase are the supply it needs, the duty cycle at a stated current and what is in the box. This guide compares five machines sold on Amazon UK, from about £325 to £1,900, using manufacturer and UK retailer pages checked on 31 October 2026.
How we picked these
- Processes each machine actually states: MIG, flux-core, TIG and MMA
- Supply and plug: many 200A 230V machines are sold without a plug and need a 32A supply
- Duty cycle with the amps it applies to
- What is supplied: torches, regulator and wire
- Models still sold, with a working Amazon UK listing

Parweld XTM 201i MIG inverter
A 230V single phase MIG inverter with synergic control, 0.8 to 1.0 mm wire and gas or gasless operation. Parweld's pages give 200A at 25% duty, while one retailer shows 230A at 20%. Sources also disagree on the fuse, 16A or 18A. It weighs 15.5 kg and has a 3-year return-to-base warranty. TIG and MMA are mentioned only in retailer wording, so confirm what the package includes.

Frequently asked questions
What supply does a 200A multi-process welder need?
Often more than a 13A plug. The Draper 70043 is supplied without a plug and Draper states that a 32A plug is required. The Parweld XTM 211Di lists a 16A fuse at 230V. Check the input current before the price.
Can these machines weld aluminium?
Aluminium needs AC TIG output. Of the machines here, only the Parweld XTM 211Di states AC TIG. The others list DC TIG, which suits steel and stainless.
How do I read a duty cycle?
It is the share of a ten-minute period the machine can weld at a stated current. A figure only means something with the amps and the test temperature attached. A 60% rating at 200A is a very different machine from 25% at 200A.
Is every multi-process welder really multi-process?
No. The Jasic EVO Power MIG 200 is MIG and MMA only, with no TIG, so check the listed processes for each model.
What do I get in the box?
It varies. Torches and a regulator may be separate, or only in a higher package. SIP's TIG torch is sold separately, and the Parweld XTM 211Di includes MIG and TIG torches and a regulator only in its multi-process package.
How we checked this
- We compared manufacturer pages and UK retailer listings and used a figure only where a named page gave it.
- Where sources disagreed, we left the figure out or said so.
- We did not list the SIP Weldmate Autoplus because one page gives its duty as 15% at 40C and another as 30% at 20C.
- We did not list the ESAB EMP 210 (a US and Canada product with no UK source found), the Sealey INVMIG200LCD (delisted) or the Jasic EVO Power MIG 200 (no TIG).
- Amazon prices are shown for each model and differ from the prices at retailers such as Tooled-Up and Draper.
