Anyone who owns one of these. Pros/Cons. Not planning on building bridges or nuclear reactors. Just occasional welding on small items. Gas/Gasless? I know I want a mig. Brands to avoid/etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Avoid century. They are a cheap brand you can buy at wal-mart. They just haven't cut it in my experience. I would go with a lincoln, hobart, miller, or esab. As far as gas, if you are just doing occasional light stuff i would go with gasless. no point in buying tanks and paying to keep em filled. Just go with a flux cored wire and it will provide it's own sheilding gas.

I have a Millermatic 130 that I have been very happy with. It is a quality machine. The local welding supply stocks replacement parts (hose liners, guns, tips, etc). I use it with gas. It works very well and it is extremely handy. I have a good quality extension cord that allows me to us it anywhere in my driveway. If needed I can easily throw it in the truck and take it to a friends house to help him out. I normally do not weld anything over 3/16" (I have a nice stick welder that I use for "big" stuff"). I would stick with a name brand unit that your local welding supply can help you out with (welding advice and service).
