Miller 211 MVP

Tony S · Mar 24, 2013

I'm looking to by a Miller 211 MVP.I found a company on the net that has a price of 1074.00 . This seems like a very good price that includes shipping. They also have either a 5% or 15% discount. the 15% is what you get if you also purchase 150.00 worth of miller products on the same invoice with welder. This is a factory rebait I think. The company is Welding Supply fron IOC has anybody done business with this company. I tryed to call them on Saturday but only got a answering machine, I will try again on Monday to make sure I am getting this right.

Do you mean this outfit? If so I bought my Dynasty 300 from them.

I paid a little under a grand with a $75 rebate from miller. I love this welder. Try checking your local welding supply shop they may supine you on the price.

Yes that is the place I am looking at. Tryed to go to a local place on Sat. they were closed on the weekend. Drove 50 some miles to talk to them and there were two other people there in the short time I was there, maybe they should look into being open in the morning on Saturday's for people who work and can't get there by 5. Thats why I'm looking into the internet to make a by.

Tony, I just realized you are from the same area. I bought mine at air gas in lacrosse. I am assuming this is where you went? There customer service is generally top notch.

I just ordered mine the other day from Cyberweld. Same price, and bought the $150 worth of accessories. The rebate will cover the accessories, plus 11 bucks! And yes, the rebate is direct from Miller.

I just bought the same welder! I knowingly paid a little more than your quote, but it was my choice to buy from an authorized sales and service dealer. Not knocking your choice - just my personal preference...

You'll love that little machine though. Makes a novice like me look pretty good, or at least a lot better

You won't go wrong with the Miller 211 MVP.

Bubba I went to Eau Claire. I will call LaCrosse this week and see what they will do. I'm on call at work for the next week so I can't go down there till I'm off. I really would like to by from someone local if they can give about the same deal. I'm not opposed to paying a little more but with free shipping and no state tax it can run into hundreds of dollars if I figure in my gas milage also. That said I will need a gas and oxygen contract so i will be interested to see if they deliver someplace close to where I live.

I wanted to buy from my local welding supplier, Nordan-Smith, who has recently been bought out by Air Gas, but when I went there, they didn't have any in stock. They were in the middle of the change over. I will be buying my tank and gas from them, and the fellow told me previously, when you bought a tank, thet would give your first fill free, but now Air Gas won't allow this.

My welder should be delivered tomorrow!

I don't buy into this buy local stuff! When I bought my Lincoln V350-Pro, I got my best price on line. Called the little independent welding supply I deal with. They couldn't get with in $500.00. I bought on line. When it arrived, something was wrong, I called the welding supply to see if they had any ideas. The store manager sent the out side sale rep to my house to look at the machine. The sales rep use to be a repair tech for ESAB. He couldn't figure it out either. But anyway my point is, they didn't seem to have any heart burn with me buying on line!
Remember it is only a job to them, they don't take it personal!

I wouldn't spend $500 dollars extra to buy local, but in principal, I always try to support local before buying online. They are your neighbors, so to speak; they shop the same places you do, their local taxes benefit you, and if you have a local business, possibly they support you. These are just a few advantages of shopping local. I believe in it, if I can remotely afford it.
I just bought new tires for the truck, and I could have saved about $10 per tire ordering online. No way is that $10 worth the benefit of loyal service from my tire shop of choice; and in return, that tire shop financially supports a golf tournament that our youth group puts on each year as a fund raiser. Not only that, but that tire shop actually has 3 local businesses, and each of them sponsor us- I really doubt if Tirerack will be a hole sponsor, investing $750 each year into our local youth...

In my case I have to go at least 50 miles to by localy. The gas and wire and other things I can by in town. But I don't know anyone in town that sells Miller welders. I will drive To by one but the price would have to be very close or better then on line.

I used cyberweld.com as well. I got the welder a couple of days after ordering it.

I bought my Miller 210 in 2001 and back then they offered a free spool gun with purchase!! At the time it was iffy that I could justify the purchase having just started my business. ???? IT PAID FOR ITSELF IN 3 MONTHS!!
Two years later I bought a Miller Spectrum 625 Plasma Cutter. By then my business was doing well and paid for itself too.
I bought both from B R who advertises on ebay and they drop shipped from Miller and I had them fast.
I have never felt like a valued customer with the local welding shops even when I managed a repair shop for a large national company. Salesman was always more interested in keeping his matching belt and shoes clean than answering equipment questions!

Wow, free spool gun! That does sound like a good deal. I ended up getting $150 worth of accessories..jacket, gloves, tips, nozzles and wire....stuff I can use!

There are some better buys on Miller now days. They have lowered the price on 141's 211's and Bobcats just to name a few. This is due to now being " Assenbled in USA " instead of made in USA. I think the price decrease averages about $125.00 on Mig units and about $220 on Engine drives. Nothing better than lowering prices. Unheard of these days.:thumbsup:

Well I bought a miller 211 MVP. Ended up buying somewhat locally 45 miles from home. Mississippi welders had the best price I have seen. The welder was 1039.00 so including tax was about a wash. I had to go to Eau Claire anyway so travel didn't come into play. So far I'm learning how to Mig weld. Done a lot of arc and tig but first first I've used a mig.
