Miller vs. Hobart - Any real difference?

[davido]

Hobart's are the chinese knock-off of Miller. I would say yes there is a difference and yes miller is worth it.

Um, no. They're both owned by the same company, Illinois Iron Works I believe.

This was a helpful thread though: http://www.millerwelds.com/resources...-vs-miller-140

The main difference, besides the colors, seem to be the adjust-ability of the power. Maybe a few other parts are Black and Decker quality versus DeWalt commercial. Both have the new dual voltage which is cool. Miller maybe has an automatic setting that the Hobart doesn't.
