Steve, if you want a machine that will give you great service and one that will be long lasting, spend the extra bucks and buy only Miller, Hobart or Lincoln products, and like Dan recommends, buy a MIG welder.
I personally prefer Miller as I've had one (a Millermatic 35) for thirty years or more and it operates today as good as it did when I bought it. That said however, both Hobart and Lincoln are trusted and long experienced manufacturers of welding equipment.
