Lincoln Electric POWER MIG 215 MPi Aluminum One-Pak vs Lincoln Electric POWER MIG 211i
Technical comparison · MIG/MAG welding (wire feed)
Two dual-voltage Lincoln Electric inverters, both aluminium-ready, with the same maximum wire feed speed and the same 200 mm spool. What differs is the welding type: the 215 MPi is multi-process, the 211i is MIG/MAG, and it costs about €1,150 less.

| Software notes | The device does not require external PC software. It features a built-in user interface on a color screen, implementing Lincoln Electric's proprietary technology to assist the operator. Through the display, users can input material thickness and wire diameter to automatically obtain optimal welding parameters. There are no cloud dependencies or mandatory mobile applications for its basic operation. | — |
The differences that matter
- Welding type: multi-process against MIG/MAG → only the 215 MPi covers work beyond wire welding.
- Price: €2,350 against €1,200 → about €1,150 apart, with the same wire feed speed and spool.
- Weight and length: 21.8 kg and 66 cm against 18.6 kg and 55.9 cm → the 211i is easier to move and store.
Which one to choose
Choose POWER MIG 215 MPi Aluminum One-Pak if…
You need one power source for more than wire welding, and want the Aluminum One-Pak version. The compromise: about €1,150 more (€2,350 against €1,200), 3.2 kg more and 10 cm more length.
Choose POWER MIG 211i if…
You weld with wire, aluminium included (the 211i is listed as aluminium-ready), and don't need a second process: you spend about €1,200. The compromise is a single welding process, with 211 A maximum current against 220 A.
