Choosing between two MIG welders in the same price neighborhood can feel like splitting hairs, but the real question is what you'll weld most. When you're comparing welding soldering equipment, the choice usually narrows down to a versatile multi-process machine versus a lightweight gasless unit you can carry to the work. Both of these HIZONE models are aimed at that space, but they make different trade-offs.
Quick Verdict
If you regularly weld aluminum or need to switch between gas MIG, gas MAG, gasless flux core, stick, and lift TIG, the HIZONE 6-in-1 Aluminum MIG Welder is the stronger shop partner. If you want something light enough to sling over your shoulder for gasless maintenance jobs, the HIZONE 135A 3-in-1 is the one to grab.

Where Each Product Wins
- HIZONE 6-in-1 Aluminum MIG Welder wins for aluminum welding without a spool gun or Teflon tube, plus the LCD display and wider process support.
- HIZONE 135A IGBT Inverter wins for convenience: it's more than 13 pounds lighter, runs on 110V, and the automatic feed simplifies settings for beginners.
- The $51 price spread makes the 135A the lower-cost entry point, while the 6-in-1's extra processes justify its higher price for mixed-material shops.
Product Notes
HIZONE Aluminum MIG Welder 6 in 1 Multi Process Welding Machine LCD Display
The HIZONE Aluminum MIG Welder 6 in 1 Multi Process Welding Machine LCD Display brings a broad process list to the table: gas MIG, gas MAG, gasless flux core, stick, aluminum MIG, and lift TIG (with an extra torch). The LCD display makes mode changes more intuitive than turning unmarked knobs. It also includes a 120V~240V adapter so it can work with 240V while keeping 120V flexibility. The aluminum MIG capability is the standout: no spool gun or Teflon tube needed. The limitation is physical: at 24.4 pounds and with a larger footprint, it's a shop tool rather than a shoulder-carry machine. If you're mostly stationary, that's a fair trade for the extra versatility.
135A MIG Welder Intelligent Portable IGBT Inverter 110V 3-in-1 Welding Machine
The 135A MIG Welder Intelligent Portable IGBT Inverter 110V 3-in-1 Welding Machine comes as a gasless MIG, stick, and lift TIG (extra torch required) machine. It puts out up to 135 amps, enough for plate steel up to 5/32 inch, and runs on standard 110V household power. The automatic feed adjusts voltage as you set wire speed, which removes a lot of guesswork for beginners. It weighs only 10.7 pounds and includes a shoulder strap and handles, so carrying it across a yard or up a ladder feels manageable. The trade-off is that this model is positioned for gasless flux core work and portable repairs. If your jobs are mostly steel and you want something easy to carry, the lighter weight and compact design make it an attractive grab-and-go option.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the HIZONE 6-in-1 Aluminum MIG Welder if you weld a mix of materials, especially aluminum, and you want gas MIG, MAG, flux core, stick, and lift TIG in one machine without a spool gun. Choose the HIZONE 135A 3-in-1 if you need a lightweight gasless MIG for steel repairs, outdoor jobs, and 110V convenience.
