Great machine
July 21, 2018
I was up and welding within an hour of opening the box. I've welded bronze and steel several times now and wonder why it took so long to buy it. Very pleased.
Pros
  • Fast and easy set up.
  • Even a novice knucklehead like me can weld like I know what I'm doing.

Great price and wonderful item
June 15, 2018
This was a gift for our grandson who had taken welding and had done wonderful. We told him to pick out the machine he really wanted and he picked this one. Said it was the best. We were so happy to be able to get him something that he will be able to use for a long time and helps him to work on his welding skills at home.
Pros
  • My grandson would have to let you know, but he did say this was the best machine.

Great machine!
March 28, 2018
Bought my 180 for a portable machine to use in the field fabrication for my freelance business. So far I'm pretty impressed with this machine. Having only used it on 110, and not on 220 yet, this machine turns out great easy welds on steel to ; aluminum is a breeze, but maxed out on 110, it's a bit tough on T joints on aluminum. Thin sheet metal is a walk in the park. One thing I wish it had is detachable leads!! I know there is a kit out there for that, but there goes your warranty. As for Cyberweld, you have great customer service, and I appreciated the call to verify my credit card purchase.
Pros
  • Easy as heck to use
Cons
  • No detachable leads for a portable machine.

Miller builds great machines
December 19, 2017
I have had a Miller 215 mig with a spool gun for many years now, great machine, always wanted to try a tig. So I purchase a made in China tig, didn't work they replaced it second one didn't work either they were going to send me a third one I told them no thank's I was going blue. Good move, this Miller Diversion 180 is a good little welder. I bought it to weld up custom stainless steel exhaust systems small aluminum projects on Hot Rods.
Pros
  • Small size big on performance.
Cons
  • None for the kind of work I do.

Love this unit
December 6, 2017
Had my own welding business in San Diego for 16 years but it's been 20+ years since I've TIGed any aluminum and I got to say this little welder did a great job. I've always been a big fan of Miller and inverters. This is Lamonster and Noah's Arc Welding approved.
Pros
  • Light weight. Easy starts. Did everything I bought it for.
Cons
  • Wish I could reverse the polarity to ball the tungsten. DCEP
  • Not a deal breaker.

Great TIG welder
March 21, 2017
Welding for 50 years just retired. This welder is perfect for my hobby needs. Simple and easy to use. The best TIG I have ever used. I guess I had only had the opportunity to weld on older models at my work in the past.
Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • None

Excellent for welding Aluminum!
January 6, 2017
I took an aluminum tig welding class this summer in Indianapolis and they had this Diversion 180 for me to use. I have a Lincoln presicion tig 225 that I have struggled with trying to weld aluminum. I took the class trying to better my skills. This tig welder blew me away of how well it did on my aluminum class projects! I was better than what I thought when I started using this in class! I was so impressed I replaced my Lincoln with this Miller and never looked back!! Awesome for aluminum and stainless steels!!! Very highly recommended!!!!!!
Pros
  • Everything about it!!
  • You will not be disappointed at all and Cyberweld is a great place for your welding needs!!
Cons
  • Nothing!!!!!!!!

Amazingly versatile little welder
December 17, 2016
Just powered up and welded .050 aluminum sheet. Then had to do some stainless repair. Then tried .100 mild steel ( 12 gauge) . Same result on all of them. Perfect. ( At 120V ! ) If you are learning TIG and want a real welder, I can't think of a better unit. Highly recommend this welder.
Pros
  • Cyberweld delivered in 2 days.
  • Powered right up. No fuss. Went right to work.

Have used this to weld both steel and aluminum so far with no complaints. Relatively straight-forward machine, easy for beginners to learn TIG.
Pros
  • Easy to use, ready to go out of the box. Decent regulator, and all other included components.
Cons
  • Limited as to what thickness aluminum I can weld with it...

Miller Diversion 180 Review
August 15, 2016
The Miller Diversion 180 is a great machine that is well worth the money. A great choice for the fabricator and hobbyist. Easy to set up, very to use. The machine does lack some of the features offered by the higher end Miller models but it is still a good machine to start with. I have been using the Diversion for about a month and I am not disappointed. The multi-voltage plug is very handy. Glad I saved the extra money for a machine made in the USA with a warranty! As for Cyberweld, they have certainly met my expectations. Fast shipping, good prices, good selection of equipment. I look forward to doing business with them again in the future.
Pros
  • User friendly
  • Easy to set up
  • Well made
  • Great machine
Cons
  • No pre/post flow adjustment
  • Torch lead is a hard connection to machine.
By Skyrodder

No doubt a great machine
June 19, 2016
after hours and hours of being online reading and watching reviews I settled on this machine, this is the first TIG i have ever owned/used, I obviously need a lot of practice, but so far my welds keep getting better and better every time I use it.
Pros
  • very light, easy to setup, easy to use
By Steve

Just What I Needed
May 26, 2016
I'm a hobbyist and needed a good TIG welder for some projects. The Diversion 180 fits the bill. None of this fancy stuff that I need to learn, just straight forward, no frills welder. Ordered from Cyberweld, saved a few hundred off the local store, and got it delivered in a couple days. Could not be happier.
Pros
  • Simple to use
  • Works as it should
  • Nice, tight little package
Cons
  • None

May 13, 2015
My first purchase from CyberWeld, but definitely not my last. Superb service - shipping was fast and the product arrived in perfect condition. Bought this for a hobby machine, and love the dual voltage feature. I'm not worried about duty cycle at high amps, since I'm mainly doing sheet metal work. This 'entry level' TIG machine is easy to set up, comes with everything but the bottle, and should last me for the rest of my life. Nothing but good things to say about the machine, and CyberWeld.
Pros
  • Easy to set up. Complete system (less bottle). Easy to understand instructions. Very little assembly required. Made in USA.
Cons
  • I didn't buy one sooner.

Great for small home shop projects.
March 21, 2015
I bought this welder to use at home. I was tired of driving into work on the weekends for small home welding projects. I have used it to fix motorcycle engine cases and yamaha yz85 extended swingarms and it works great? I have only used the 115v plug. I have welded 6061 T6 up to 5mm thick and 50mm long with no issues. I tried one long bead at 300mm long. The fan stayed on a little longer then normal, so I think that is the limit before it would shut down from before over heating.
Pros
  • Fast and easy set up.
Cons
  • Power cord needs to be longer!
By David

Excellent prices and superb delivery time.
February 20, 2015
I have not had the opportunity to use this TIG unit yet, but it's a Miller and I've no worries about it performing as advertised. What I'm most impressed with are the prices of Cyberweld products and especially their surprising delivery time. I'd resolved myself to having to purchase one of the Chinese imports, but with Cyberweld's low prices I was able to buy a top of the line machine
Pros
  • EVERYTHING!!!
Cons
  • NOTHING!!!

Miller Diversion Welder
December 27, 2014
I placed my order and a couple of days later my new welder arrived. I've used it only once so far and it worked perfectly.
Pros
  • Easy to use and set up
Cons
  • I felt a little misleading on the Miller $250 rebate. After reviewing what is required to obtain the "rebate" it's difficult for me after spending $1,848 to justify another $250.

December 23, 2014
Easy to use, the high frequency start with the foot pedal works like a dream, plenty of power even with the 110 plug.
By Doug

Does everything I've asked of it
November 26, 2014
I'm very much a beginner though I've taken several TIG welding classes. I use the Diversion 180 only for aluminum, mostly 1/8" and it's done everything I ask. It's much easier to use than the 350A Lincoln transformer rig I learned on. I have much better puddle control. It has shut down on me a few times while running really long beads, but no drama. Just wait a few minutes for it to cool down, step on the pedal, and back to work. If you are a pro or need a bigger machine, then it's probably not for you. But as hobbyist I would most likely just misuse the extra features of a Dynasty.
Pros
  • Everything I need, but no more.
Cons
  • It would be nice if Miller made some additional Multi Voltage Plugs. I have to use a home made adapter to connect the NEMA 10-50 MVP to my NEMA 14-50 outlet.

Excellent TIG Welder!
August 11, 2014
This is my 2nd TIG welder and I couldn't be more impressed with the ease of use. I went back and forth trying to decide on a model that had a dozen different set up controls and the Diversion 180 with a no-brainer approach. When I realized I'm bad about taking the time to actually do a full set up, I knew this was the welder for me--why complicate things? The foot control and High-Frequency arc start are a must.
Pros
  • Easy to use and set up
  • Powerful
  • Foot control
  • HF arc start

Magical welder
March 27, 2014
The good: I learned to weld in high school, and I took two years of gas welding. I own a stick welder, but I'm terrible at it. This Miller 180 is like magic. I was a pretty good gas welder, but this tig welder is so much better, it's incredible. My first project was welding dissimilar metals with different thicknesses. I used different tig rods, and everything worked perfect. The foot control is the cats meow, I love it. I bought a Miller welding helmet that automatically darkens when I start my welds, and it's magic too. The high frequency starts is incredible, it will send an electrical arc an inch or two if you press the pedal to the floor. Seriously, this will do anything it seems. The bad: They should have made it clearer that the torch only comes with a single size tip. You need to purchase all the sizes available so you can use the full potential of this machine. The torch, foot pedal, and welder is a perfect match. I love it.

Love the 110 function. My old 220 sucked the power.
November 23, 2013
I bought this because my 220 Miller machine was blowing the breaker on 1/4 inch aluminum. This machine welded it with only 110. I would recommend this unit. Not so happy with the finger controls.
Pros
  • 110 and 220. Very easy to use. Comes with everything.
Cons
  • None

Diversion 180 tig
July 8, 2013
Over all a great machine.
Pros
  • Operation as I expected, flawless. Hope it last for years. Used with a generator 220 volts no problems.
Cons
  • Only one thing working at 120 amps the torch will get pretty warm, had to take a breather. Also you will need a 30 amp breaker at 110 volts @120 amps, longer than 10 minutes.

Great welder
June 2, 2013
Ive had this welder for 2 years and its done everything I've needed it to do, for thick aluminum I just added helium and got smooth clean welds. As far as the torch and hose goes I've replaced with a more flexible hose and smaller torch from HTP. I've also changed out the foot pedal to a larger one with a lot more range for better arc control. May try a water cooler just for the fun of it.
Pros
  • Welds great for hobby welders can change pedal, hose, torch
Cons
  • No ac balance control

February 26, 2013
I haven't welded in over 10 years. Was more of a stick and MIG welder when I did weld. I learned TIG enough to have great respect for it. Within a few tries I was producing beautiful well penetrated welds on .125"+ mild steel and stainless steel. Thin material is giving me real trouble but I suspect that is because I was a structural welder and rarely attempted thin material. I have very little experience with Aluminum. It is a strange animal and is also giving me real trouble. It is like it doesn't want to form a puddle until it is ready to completely disintegrate.
Pros
  • It is easy to use and set-up.
  • There are not any settings that I am unsure of. I know when the machine is set-up and I need to quit messing with the controls and work on my welding.
Cons
  • low duty cycle
  • The post gas flow setting seems to waste a lot of gas on my volume challenged bottle.

This Machine Rocks
January 10, 2013
I've got this one and a Miller Dynasty 200DX that costs about 3x as much. I still use this one more. The DX kills on aluminum, but the 180 does steel really nicely. Love the ergonomics on the torch, the foot pedal is great, and that it just uses an (easily replaceable) ethernet cable is awesome. Only complaint is that the postflow is too long. Other than that, it works really well.

I always wanted to try TIG and this machine seemed like the way to go. Easy to use and certainly excellent for a beginner.

Cons
  • Slow shipping, hassle if billing and shipping addresses are not the same

Great Welder!
November 1, 2012
I haven't tig welded in many years and I'm not a professional welder, but this welder has made it easy. My welding cart was my first project. I was able to make it out of stainless steel thanks to the ability of the DIV 180 to weld so many different types of metal. I'm still trying to perfect my methods, but some of my welds looked professional and although I was getting better with practice, the welder made it easy to produce professional looking welds. I honestly think this would be the perfect welder for the money if they only would have put a flowmeter instead of a pressure regulator in the deal, especially since every spec I found related to flow and not pressure.
Pros
  • Great price!
  • Great welder!
  • Miller reputation
Cons
  • A pressure regulator is provided instead of a flow meter.

Very Happy!
October 29, 2012
I was looking for a GTAW for home / garage use. A friend on mine has the Dynasty 200 and was very impressed. I just did not want to fork out $4000 for a set up. After reviewing the Diversion 180 on multiple web sites an Youtube I decided to give it a shot. Oh another factor was my garage was wires for 230 / 30 amp. ( Perfect for the 180 ) Wow I'm happy with the performance! I've had the unit for about 1 month now and completed 2 projects. A welding bench and a pedestal for my bench grinder. And even though Miller states 3/16" max on steel, I had no problem welding 1/2"
Pros
  • Affordable
  • Small and easy to move
  • 110/220 volt
  • Made in America
Cons
  • Not being able to change to a different weld torch.
