Great helmet, the built in grind shield is a handy and convenient component and it offers a great, unobstructed and clear viewing field. As a welding apprentice, working in a shop 9+ hours a day the time saved by simply flipping up the main component to instantly continue with finishing and prep work is exceptional. The controls are easy to use and changing out the battery is a breeze if you ever have the need to. The only downside I can find is that the head strap is not nearly as rugged as it could probably be; I have found that the helmet doesn't stay up even with simple head movement, though that could probably be attributed to the weight of the helmet.Overall extremely satisfied with my purchase and I can't imagine using any other helmet for years to come.

I'm not a welder and do not use this helmet myself. I purchased it as a gift for a nephew who was going to welding school. He picked this helmet himself, I merely purchased it. However, I have heard back from my nephew that this is a wonderful helmet, the envy of all his fellow students in school and now also of his coworkers at his job.

Headstrap broke after one, all-day use. Everything else is still working and functional

I work in a pipe industry, where I, as maintenance do moderate welding, very light on head and love the face shield that comes with it. Only down side the plastic head bracket is so sensitive after 4th use it broke, was replaced by miller but the hassle to get it was tiredness. So if it happens again I will call again. Besides that all features and hood itself are a plus

Bueno

Besides having three lenses plus my glasses to clean, this hood is sweet. I have set up with a hard hat adapter so I can use it on any job. The grind shield feature make my life a lot easier and my eyes a lot safer. The package says its designed for light duty but it seems to be holding up just fine.

Not at all what I expected from Miller. The headgear didn't last an hour. The rest worked as advertised. But what good is it if the headgear falls apart? Gonna try and find different headgear. Anyone know if that's possible I'd love to know. I'd really like to use it. It's perfect for what I do.
