YESWELDER Large Viewing Screen 3.93"X3.66" True Color Solar Power Auto Darkening Welding Helmet, 4 Arc Sensor Wide Shade 4/5-9/9-13 for TIG MIG Arc Weld Grinding Welder Mask LYG-M800H

I don't know about durability or longevity.... However, the quality of the lens electronics and LCD are fabulous. The hood material is very thin and flexible but it doesn't need to be thicker to do its job and weight is the enemy for something hanging off your face. It's very light and comfortable. The weight is distributed well over the harness. I flipped it up and actually forgot I had it on for a few minutes. But, the lens shading and image is great. I've been wearing a much older Hobart auto lens for ~15 years(?) At the first arc, I honestly panicked a bit. To me it seemed like the lens didn't darken! At least for a few seconds until I realized. Cool! The arc is blue, the puddle is red, the back of my glove is mustard yellow, and I can see the edge of the plate to keep the weld running straight. Maybe all of them are like this now, but I'm astounded by the clarity. Before I could see a bright blob (the arc), a smaller less bright blob (the puddle), and nothing at all outside half an inch of the light from the arc. Turning it down only overwhelmed with glare and turning it up just made the bright blobs dimmer. It was welding by feel really. I'm a few hours of use in now, and it's great. Hopefully it continues to work and nothing breaks. The best $45 I've spent since I started welding. Being able to see makes welding easy.

I don't have a lot of time using the Yeswelder hood yet, so I may find some annoying issues, but I don't think so. Other reviews complained that is was not as strong of ridged as other hoods. I find it compares to my Lincoln Viking very well. The Yeswelder hood has comfortable headgear, that stays in the up position until a head nod brings it down. The true color is amazing once the initial surprise is over. The most best feature is that there is a cheater lens available that covers the whole large window. The external adjustments are larger than all the other hoods that have the adjustments on the inside. With the Viking and the previous Miller I had, I needed to get an magnifier to be able to change sensitivity, delay and shade. I believe this is a better hood than the $300 + Viking and the $400 + Miller.

This product is good for the price point. It is lacking in some of the smaller details of better products. The headgear is decent, but cumbersome to adjust. As far as durability, we will see. I hope it holds up. The one thing that I didn't like was the fit of the safety lenses. Both the inner and outer have a poor fit over the lens and I had to remove them and clean the lens after just a couple of hours of welding. I did manage to get them in there better, but it still isn't sealed very well. I would buy it again, just because you cant expect a great product for such a great price.

I have been welding with a Harbor Freight helmet for years. It gave up and I ordered this one. I knew the old one was not great but until I got this new one I didn't realize what a piece of junk the old one was. I love this helmet. Full disclaimer, I am not a professional welder and use this with my Lincoln wire feed welder. My welder is nothing fancy and this helmet may work differently for other types of welders.

Just gave it a try.....Awesome! Very comfortable and the clarity for my older eyes was leaps and bounds better then my old helmet... I was more or less welding blind, I could only see the arc and not tell what the puddle was doing. Look forward to actually using it! As far as durability time will tell, as I am only a hobby welder!

It arrived the next day after placing the order. The helmet build seems solid with plenty of room for my respirator. It took a couple of minutes reading the instructions, but I figured out the settings. Once I started to run a bead it was evident that this helmet was a game changer. The field of view is amazing, but when you see the Tru Color and the clarity of the view! Wow it is something to behold.The control knobs are on the outside of the helmet, and very easy to adjust on the fly. the test button is on the inside which is nice that it is cause once you test, it is out of the way. The knobs that lock the helmet up really need to be tight, the sweet spot that holds it up and still lets you flip it down can be elusive. BUT with the view through the lens, I find I put it down and go to work. There is no need to do a lot of flipping.Its is a quality Helmet that works perfectly, the price is right, the build quality is evident, and the spare screen protectors are a plus. Get one!

I’m MiG and tig welding aluminum. Responsive and clear. Good head tensioner. I’ve heard from coworkers yes welder hoods last around 1-2 until flashes or they die. Worth the price

Visibility on this unit is great compared to my old helmet. However, two bolts that hold it up just don't seem to do the job. Clear lens on the front is thrashed and Ive only used it about a week so I'll go through a bunch of those. Smoke gets in between the clear lens and dirty both so that you have to take it apart and clean it out regularly. Easy to turn the knob to adjust the shade accidentally and then you get a rude surprise when you go to weld. I like the sensitivity and the delay settings that my old helmet didn't have. It was just a single shade lens, but it was an Arc One, and that helmet does seem to be better made than the Yeswelder unit. Yeswelder is more comfortable to wear long periods. Love the grind setting on the lens so you dont have to switch to face shield constantly. Would buy again. Bought a retrofit lens for the old helmet to see if i can make it better. Price was ok for the new one-ok quality =ok price.
