Spec	Handler 210i	MIG285
Process	MIG and flux-cored. The included drive roll covers solid and flux-cored wire, and spool-gun circuitry is described for aluminum wire. Source	The specifications table says output type MIG, lift TIG, and stick. The overview also names flux core. Source
Output amp range	120 V: 30–140 A. 240 V: 30–210 A. Source	Max rated output: MIG 285 A, TIG 250 A, stick 250 A. The duty table prints MIG 285 A on 240 V and 120 A on 120 V, and stick and TIG 250 A on 240 V and 120 A on 120 V. Source
Rated duty cycle	120 V, 15 A: 45 A at 16.3 VDC, 100% duty cycle. 120 V, 20 A: 90 A at 18.5 VDC, 25% duty cycle, and 60 A at 17.0 VDC, 100% duty cycle. 240 V: 210 A at 24.5 VDC, 25% duty cycle, and 105 A at 19.3 VDC, 100% duty cycle. Source	MIG: 30% at 285 A on 240 V and 30% at 120 A on 120 V. Stick: 30% at 250 A on 240 V and 30% at 120 A on 120 V. TIG: 30% at 250 A on 240 V and 30% at 120 A on 120 V. Source
Input voltage and plug	120 V or 240 V, 50/60 Hz, with an included adapter for both. Amps input at rated output: 13.8 A on the 120 V, 15 A row; 27.6 A on the 120 V, 20 A row; 44.3 A on 240 V. Source	1-phase, 120 V/240 V. Max inrush (I1max), columns MIG / stick / TIG: 120 V 34.2 / 42.5 / 25.3 A, and 240 V 57.4 / 53.5 / 35.7 A. Max rated (I1eff): 120 V 18.7 / 23.3 / 13.9 A, and 240 V 27.4 / 29.3 / 19.6 A. Source
Wire or rod size	Quick Select drive roll for .024 in. (0.6 mm) or .030/.035 in. (0.8/0.9 mm) solid wire, and .030/.035 in. (0.8/0.9 mm) flux-cored wire. Source	Not published by manufacturer Source
Weight	26 lb. The sheet says the machine weighs only 26 pounds. Source	The page says “weighing under 60 lbs.” It does not print a single net-weight number. Source
Material thickness	Mild steel thickness range 24 ga.–3/8 in., in a single pass, with thicker material by multiple passes. Source	The overview says the 285 A output can weld materials up to 5/8 inch thick. Source
