I purchased a 220 from you guys back in June 2023. Its brand new with the tags still on it. Never plugged in and never opened any of the boxes that came with it. I wish I could exchange it for the new one...
Why is it on the Miller Multimatic Assembly line tour video , the miller rep specifically states that the update is software related for the 6010 capability?
I am not sure I saw that specific video, but I confirmed with the product manager that the 6010 update cannot be updated or added to older versions. Sorry :(
I’ve had the 220 for about 2 yrs as well as the the esab205ic, and the Miller 220 is mediocre at best compared to the HTP 2500 I now have! I’ve ran them side by side and It does more and does it better than both, and for a little less 💴! Win Win.
can you please make a video of it welding an open root pipe or plate (carbon steel) joint ? that would be an excellent selling point im telling you right now no one has made a video with a (all in one welde)r welding that type of join.
Hey, thank you for watching and commenting. We just posted a video on the TIG side because we get a lot of questions. Miller intentionally did not make the TIG side have all of the Rebel's adjustments. The Miller 220 is easier to use, and they found the extra adjustments were not needed for quality welds and prioritized simplicity and ease of use. th-cam.com/video/T_tCaPbp2rk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rxRiFvxHQ9taYDw3
I am not sure but we offer free shipping and in stock! Plus they just added $500 rebate and we are doing a free helmet and free tungsten! bakersgas.com/collections/all/products/miller-907757
Is the *only* difference in features between old and new 220 versions the capability to stick weld with 6010? Are there any other settings that can be changed in the new version versus old? Are all accessories and parts generally interchangeable between old and new other than internal circuit board (hardware)?
The Miller 220 will AC TIG aluminum which the Fronius will not. The TransSteel on the other hand you could MIG aluminum through the MIG gun which is neat. (Miller you would have to use a spoolgun) We sell and stock both feel free to call or email us for a quote or with any other questions.
Great video. If you have any pull with Miller it would be great if they offered an upgrade kit, perhaps at cost. Great to see this improvement, but I suspect there might be some people who would be alienated if they just spent $$$, need to run 6010, and don’t want to loose their shirt selling it to buy a whole new unit. But I suppose that’s the way of most things, when the new and improved one comes out…
Yes, we hear you, and if you wanted to sell your current one, we could get you a great deal on a new one! Plus there are some rebates right now we could combine with.
Way to go miller. Planned obsolescence. Next update will be another new machine will add AC pulse and MiG Pulse. Just be that they don’t send out new boards to service centers and inform customers that if they want to the update is available. That’s the service I expect from them. Not the way they are handling it.
*As another commenter said, you buy Miller for the blue, quality AND the customer service. If Miller were about great customer service, they'd offer their Multimatic 220 owners, lacking the 6010 capability an upgrade option (e.g., new software & pc board). My Multimatic 220 is 1.5 years ago & used it for the 1st time last week. Now I find out this happened! Bye bye, Miller...*
Hey, sorry about that. It is like any equipment / larger purchase. Sometimes, there are updates, and it is just not possible to upgrade older units. Totally get how you feel it is too bad there is not a way to upgrade them.

Awesome video! I’ve been hoping that 6010 would be added to the 220. Can’t wait to get my hands on one
I wasn't aware the older 220 wouldn't do 6010, that's gay, so I'm glad they fixed before I bought one.
Most multiprocess machines do not so this is a neat feature added by Miller! Let us know if you have any other questions.

Has there been any update to make AC TIG welding on the 220 more comparable to the rebel 205

Yes, a few other little things like a different box, QR code at set up, nothing on the TIG or MIG side or physical machine changes.
@@BakersGas Too bad. Was hoping they’d add more options for pulse while they were making changes.
This Miller multimatic 220 vs the Fronius trans steel 2200? What is better and why?
The Miller 220 will AC TIG aluminum which the Fronius will not. The TransSteel on the other hand you could MIG aluminum through the MIG gun which is neat. (Miller you would have to use a spoolgun) We sell and stock both feel free to call or email us for a quote or with any other questions.
Can you run Dual Shield Flux Core Wire ?
Found it!
Can you get a wireless foot pedal for new version
Yes! bakersgas.com/collections/all/products/miller-301580

I'd pay another 1k if they added pulsed everything!
The old 220 I paid 4200.00 for a fairly good machine never again

Miller is high in price and low on innovations. Much cheaper machines have more features like pulsed mig
Fairly really
Don’t buy miller prime weld machines offer the same for a lot less
You buy miller for the color, logo and customer service
@@seaspray2319primeweld will have to work on color and logo but customer service seems on point.
