Dave, I'd have to balance out your recommendation, I've had a $200 Harbor
Freight Mig welder w/gas for about 4 years now, used it to weld almost
everything on my car from alum to steel (that isn't TIG'd), solid welder, I
figured if it died after 6mo I would have gotten my money's worth, but it
keeps on going.  Welds stainless, mild, alum, everything, great welder, I've
even done really thick stuff like 3/8" with multiple passes.  Even with the
amount of welding I do, it no where near the professional level, so an
affordable welder like this is a good choice for an enthusiast fabricator
like many listers.
