Which Mig welder to buy?

Buy a 220 machine if you don't plan to move it to remote locations.

I like Miller and Lincoln welders. Buy the biggest you can afford. If you can get a 210-220 class machine, they are really nice. If I could do it again, I'd buy a 250 class machine instead of the Miller 175 machine I currently have.

I only had 110 in my garage when I got my welder. So I got the best for the money I wanted to spend.

A few months later.....

I had a contractor friend upgrade the wiring to my garage to handle both my compressor and welder at the same time. When he did it, he threw in a couple of 220 plugs for me.... :banghead:
