YESWELDER True Color Solar Powered Auto Darkening Welding Helmet, Wide Shade 4/9-13 with Grinding for TIG MIG ARC Weld Hood Welder Mask

I would classify myself as a “serious hobby welder”. I have 4 welding helmets and this one is my favorite. It’s comfortable and works flawlessly. It’s so easy to see through the un-darkened lens I sometimes forget it’s down and carry on working. It never darkens when it shouldn’t (like when I’m facing the sun).The “true color” aspect takes some getting used to but is quite nice and now I’m spoiled. I’m so used to everything being green and only seeing the arc and puddle that at first it feels like it’s not dark enough, but being able to see the rest of the work is huge. No more drawing lines! I probably keep it brighter than I should (maybe 9-10 for SMAW) but I can clearly see where I’m going which saves me a ton of prep time, and even saves clamping in some cases because I can just hold the piece where I want it.My only (small) complaint is that the ability to see beyond the puddle only seems to work in daylight. Once the sun starts setting it feels like using a normal hood, just not green. The arc is just too bright compared with the rest of the work (I might be able to see better if I made it darker - I should try that).I’ve burned probably 200-300 rods with this hood on and I couldn’t be happier. All stick welding - everything from 1/16” to 5/32”.. 6010, 6011, 7014, and 7018. No mig or tig though, and I have not used it for grinding or oxy-acetylene cutting or welding so I can’t comment on how well it works for those applications.Overall, I’d highly recommend this for anyone from “beginner” to “serious hobby welder”, or maybe “backup hood for pros”. I can’t honestly recommend it for professionals because I’m not a professional and I simply don’t know how well it would hold up under extreme use. While it’s certainly not cheap feeling, it’s still plastic and maybe not heavy-duty enough. I’ve dropped it a few times and it’s gotten a little wet, but I’m also not wedging myself under a 24” pipe in a ditch full of water and welding overhead all day.

Works as expected and I have no complaints.

It works great gets dark quick easy to adjust the settings how u want them only complaint is not a big deal but new out of the box some of the paint/decal was messed up but not enough to worry about

Works as it should. Very comfortable headband, at least on my head. Had to figure out how to assemble the headband pivot, it might be difficult for someone not mechanically inclined. I don't think there were any assembly instructions included, but I may have misplaced them when I unboxed it. The pivot detent has a good range of adjustment. I've used the $$$ Miller helmets, yes there is a difference in quality, but the function and comfort of this helmet is great considering the price.

I've used quite a few welding lenses and this one is orders of magnitude better than 95% of the ones I've used. The helmet itself is ok quality. The fit is decent, it's light, comfort is alright. The adjustable sizing band comes a bit misshapen from shipping and isn't the most luxurious but it's easy to adjust with one gloved hand and gets the job done. In the end this is a cheap helmet so you're getting what you paid for from the helmet itself.But the lens. The lens is worth every cent on its own. This is the first cheap-ish lens I've used that comes even close to being usable for grinding etc. because you can actually see through it when it's not dark. And not only can you see through it but the colors really are much easier to see. It's a night and day difference from the old brown or green lenses where you could make out what you were looking at but had to lift the hood to get a really good look at what was going on.If you're looking for a starter helmet, this one will get the job done just fine and you'll be starting out in the lap of luxury, so to speak, compared with other auto-darkening lenses in this price range. If you haven't tried a "True Color" lens before, pick this up and give it a try. You'll be pleasantly surprised I promise.

to my surprise this helmet is amazing. since i got it i have yet to reach out for my lincoln or miller hoods. very impressed the only thing I would upgrade is the head gear is not the best but will do.

The design on this hood is awesome. Super cool. I love the settings. The weld / grind option is awesome. The part I dislike is this hood was only good for about two months. The hood lense started to darken to the point I could no longer see my welds. The initial experience with this hood is it seemed great. Now, after purchasing a Miller, I can say the quality is unmatched. The Yeswelder hood quality is much darker than the Miller hood. It's greenish looking through the lense. The durability isn't great being I needed a new hood two months later. It isn't made to last. I wish it was. It fit great. It's such a cool hood with so much potential. Upgrade the quality in technology, and you'll have a return customer.

Durability, very good product, appearance, fit.

Nice helmet , light and comfortable. BUT you do not have anything to hold a cheater lens in the helmet. That's right if you need to put a optical lens to help you see while welding there us no provision for one. Nothing to hold it in with

Perfect helmet, large viewing, cant beat the price!

Not sure whats wrong with unit. Worked great first 3 times I used it. Now, nothing. I removed the battery and confirmed its charged but will not function. Steer clear.
