Lincoln Electric Misleads American consumer Cleveland, Ohio
*Author of original report: Unit has failed
*Consumer Comment: I looked at Home Depot's online ad and didn't see ANYTHING saying all USA made.
Show customers why they should trust your business over your competitors...
Sells their entry level mig welders along with all their other welders which proudly proclaim " MADE IN THE USA" Leading you to believe this product is American made as well. WRONG. Label on back panel states clearly " MADE IN POLAND" This welder is being sold on Home depots website and is listed with ALL American made welders and at no point does it ever state this is a foreign ( Poland ) made unit. These folks are misleading the American public!!

Unit has failed
AUTHOR: JD - (United States of America)

Yes this unit is being returned to Lincoln for repairs while still under warranty.. Worked perfect the first time out of the box for an EXACT 2 minute repair on sheet metel. One week later began another small sheet metal repair, unit stated the weld for maybe 3 to 5 SECONDS then the gun failed completely, all connections and wire feeder checked ok. Unit was not on long enough to over heat. This unit is indeed a piece of crap . After this welder is returned from Lincoln it will be placed on Craigslist for sale with all of the above stated in ad with the lead in banner stating " THIS UNIT IS MADE IN POLAND" This whole ordeal is no ones fault but my own, I should have bought a miller.

I also went to the Lincoln site, you provided and nowhere did it say made in the USA.
It DID, however say this:
Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, Lincoln Electric has more that 40 manufacturing locations, including operations and
joint ventures in 20 countries and a worldwide network of distributors and sales offices covering more than 160 countries.
This world's products are sourced from all over the world.
Are you having trouble with the unit, since it was made in Poland, or is this philosophical?
