Ah yes, "heat." Technically, it's the amps that make the heat. But since this is often misunderstood by non-electrical types and since these are constant VOLTAGE machines with a clearly labeled VOLTAGE dial, some beginners think that "heat" is from voltage. And, in a way, that's correct because greater voltage can drive more amps, producing more heat. But an increase in wirespeed directly causes amperage (and therefore, heat) to increase at a given voltage setting (which is a relative scale because it will drop a little to compensate (a transformer thing, but we're getting ahead of ourselves...))
ANYWAY, don't be too hard on the help. One may have been trying more to use the terms you wanted to use and the other was using more correct terms.
For someone who is doing the kind of welding where you feel you need to know exact wirespeed, amperage, voltage, etc., the MM175 is not for you. It's wire speed tracking is a great feature for the market it is designed for.
