Miller 110 volt Mig with gas. best starter.
+1

I have been using a millermatic 135 for 7 years without any problems. 240v machines are great with great capabilities, but are much less portable. I don't care for the way some for the way some of the lincolns feel, it might be the whole "true" lincolns already mentioned. Hobart is the cheaper version of miller. They are made in the same factory with less features and a different paint scheme.
