Same fields. Each cell is that model's published text. A blank stays "Not published by manufacturer." The outlet chip does not hide either column.
| Spec | Multi-Handler 200 | MIG285 |
|---|---|---|
| Process | MIG, flux-cored, DC TIG, and stick. | The specifications table says output type MIG, lift TIG, and stick. The overview also names flux core. |
| Output amp range | MIG/flux-cored: 30–200 A. DC TIG: 20–200 A. Stick: 30–200 A. The table narrows 120 V MIG to 30–120 A, 120 V TIG to 20–140 A, and 120 V stick to 30–100 A. | 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. |
| Rated duty cycle | At 30% duty cycle: MIG 110 A at 19.5 V on 120 V and 165 A at 22.2 V on 240 V; DC TIG 105 A at 14.2 V on 120 V and 165 A at 16.6 V on 240 V; stick 90 A at 23.6 V on 120 V and 140 A at 25.6 V on 240 V. | 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. |
| Input voltage and plug | 120 V or 240 V, 50/60 Hz. MVP plugs: 5-15P (120 V, 15 A) and 6-50P (240 V, 50 A). Amps input at rated output, MIG: 23.0 A at 120 V and 19.0 A at 240 V. DC TIG: 16.7 A and 14.7 A. Stick: 22.0 A and 17.9 A. | 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. |
| 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. Wire feed speed on the product page is 60–650 ipm. | Not published by manufacturer |
| Weight | 38.4 lb on the product page. The spec sheet says the machine weighs under 39 pounds. | The page says “weighing under 60 lbs.” It does not print a single net-weight number. |
| Material thickness | Mild steel: MIG/flux-cored 24 ga.–3/8 in., DC TIG 22 ga.–3/16 in., stick 16 ga.–3/8 in. | The overview says the 285 A output can weld materials up to 5/8 inch thick. |
