Yeah I use the Elite. If I had to do it again, Id go with Jackson or the Speedglas.

i have a digital elite. overall im happy with it x-mode works good but the only thing i don't like is the manual on operation.... turning on the helmet with my gloves on is nearly impossible.

Great site man and good prices..

The speed glass ones look pretty sweet gotta be better then the old Phantom I am using now lol.

You sure you don't have a pro-hobby? The Performance & Elite series are auto on ...

I have an Elite, and I really love it. I've used a lot of different welding helmets, and I always found something to hate about each one. The Elite is the first one that doesn't **** me off.

Rotary is right Agtronic the new digital elite isn't auto-on.

Hey Rotary, did you have the regular miller elite before? is it really worth the extra $$$?

ROTARY

no i never used the regular elite, ironically i bought the digital elite because it uses better arc sensors then the regular elite... it works amazingly not once have i got flashed while welding but i have been flashes a few times because i have forgotten to turn the helmet on... lol .

I don't understand why they would go to manual on? I've used a manual on a few times, and I absolutely hate it.

I've never been flashed with my regular elite.

dave@passenger

Hmm my Elite is manual on but it isn't the digital model, bought it about 2-3 years ago. I'd like to grab the digital elite I think because of the better arc sensors if that's true.
