I've seen some of the welders that HF sells, and they look like they could get the job done. They have a 110 amp MIG that will do flux core or run sheilding gas for $199.

How reliable are these welders ? Has anyone here used one for a long time and had good success with it ? How well do they play with beginners ? Are they going to make learning harder than something like a Miller, Lincoln, Hobart, etc ?
I'm just trying to decide if one of these would be a decent buy for starting out, learning, and building a kart and some other small jobs, or if I'm better off just saving my $200 and putting it towards a name brand welder ?
