i got a flux core/mig welder from Harbor freight Chicago Electric brand. bought it at least 2 years ago. no problems with it at all. it is only 75 amps so it cant do really thick stuff with it, but 1/4" is fine. The only down side is that it only holds 2# rolls so you seem to run out at inopprotune moments.
