Meet the Team

Welder Guru is run by a small editorial team of welding enthusiasts, equipment researchers, and writers focused on safety-first DIY and small-shop welding content.

How we work

We publish category-level buying guidance — not fabricated hands-on reviews of every welder on Amazon. When we describe a 120V MIG welder, we’re describing what 120V MIG welders typically do well and where they tend to struggle, based on:

• Publicly available manufacturer specifications.
• General welding industry knowledge published by AWS, OSHA, and major welder manufacturers (Miller, Lincoln, ESAB, Hobart).
• Long-term experience welding mild steel, stainless, and aluminum in home and small-shop contexts.

What we are not

We are not a substitute for a qualified welding instructor, AWS-certified welder, or licensed electrician. If you need to weld structurally critical components, pressure vessels, or anything where weld integrity affects life safety, please consult a certified professional.

Editorial independence

Our affiliate relationship with Amazon does not shape our recommendations. We never accept payment to feature a specific welder or rank one above another. See our Affiliate Disclosure and Editorial Standards.
