Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The HITBOX HIM200 is tenth in this guide at £113.99, rated 4.3 out of 5 from 115 ratings. It is a 240V inverter that runs gasless flux-cored wire and, according to its own bullets, also does ARC and Lift TIG. The number printed largest on the listing is 200A — and that figure lives in the product title alone. The spec table never states an output current rating. What it does state is Wattage: 6 KW. At 240 Volts that is 25 amps drawn from the socket, which is a quarter of the 50 amps a listing claiming 12,000 watts implies. Worth checking your circuit either way, but this is the kind of number that survives being divided by the voltage next to it.
Two other figures are worth reading twice. The item weight is given as 4 kg, in both the Product Dimensions line and the Item Weight field, and no bullet in the listing quotes a different weight; one reviewer describes the machine as very light and very small. The star breakdown does not close, though. Seven one-star, two two-star, eight three-star, 18 four-star and 65 five-star ratings add up to 100, while the header reads 115 ratings — and the 4.3 average is exactly what those 100 would produce. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it is written, not from any test of our own.

Questions people ask
How much power does the HITBOX HIM200 draw?
The HITBOX listing gives a wattage of 6 KW on a 240 Volt supply, which works out at 25 amps at the socket. The spec table gives no output current rating.
What does the HITBOX HIM200 weigh?
The spec table lists 4 kg, in the Product Dimensions line and again in the Item Weight field. No bullet in the listing quotes a different weight.
Does the HITBOX HIM200 need gas?
The listing says it runs on 0.6/0.8/0.9/1.0mm flux-cored wire without gas, and a flux wire is included in the box.
Is the HITBOX HIM200 a 4-in-1 machine out of the box?
The bullet lists MIG, ARC, Lift TIG and Spool Gun, but states the TIG gun is not included and the Spool Gun is not included, so those two functions need extra parts.
How does the HITBOX HIM200 differ from the HBM1200?
HITBOX describes the HIM200 as the upgraded version of the HBM1200 with an enhanced LED display. No current rating is given for either machine in the listing.
What does the listing say about HITBOX support?
The HITBOX bullet promises 24/7 online customer service. One review reports a wire feed failure after three uses with no initial reply, and an update saying HITBOX then supplied a replacement machine.
