i have to laugh a little...the original question was which mig welder...thats kinda like asking, blonde, brunette, or redhead...or Deere vs anything else....or ford, gm, or dodge. I am no expert, but ive welded with miller, lincoln, hobart, & esab's.
Currently i have an older hobart handler 180/185 (?) which has done a LOT of work and been very trouble free, very straight forward in the settings and it has a tweeco gun with all off the shelf consumables.
In my area esab parts are getting very hard to find and i am close to a Praxair, i have been needing a larger MIG and i think i may just spring for the welder Praxair is building. Its been out for a few years now and doesnt seem to show any signs of folding. Guys at praxair are making it very difficult not to give it a go and its coming in a couple hundred bucks cheaper than their counter parts.
Price a new one of whatever model you think you would like then spend a month watching craigs or local auctions...to me it always seemed like a higher resale value a better machine....
All just observations, let us know what you get, i would be interested in hearing what you got and how you like it.
