I have a hobart 180 and I weld everything from the sheetmetal to chassis work and it welds sweet. I had it for about 5 years now and its never gave me a problem.

No one is arguing to merits of either Hobart or Miller. I will dispute the claim that you can’t buy a quality welder that will do more than the jr. welders for less than $1k. This is what I bought on eBay for $825.00 delivered, less the wire feeder, cables and gas:

It will mig, tig, and stick. The voltage is 220 however.
