Gonna bump this as I am thinking about getting a new one. Would prefer 110/220V compatible but it’s not 100% necessary. Right around $1,000 or less would be nice also. What is recommended?

If I had to buy a new MIG right now it would probably be the Millermatic 211. I think they make solid machines and parts are easy to get.

Just to add: Having a 110 with Flux core is awesome... Last Week I pulled up to our Job and the Pool Guy was about to Cut a brand new gate because the installer used one way bolts.... I said the hell you are going to cut it up.... hauled ass home, grabbed my Miller, and welded nuts to the top of each bolt and backed them out... all within an 45 min... No Tanks to deal with and quick hookup to 110.... Definitely get a combo 120/220 if you can. Options are good to have sometimes.

I called them and got the info I needed. Its pretty much the same as the 200 just with a LCD screen that allows for more controls of the unit. Also if you click around on their site a $50 dollor off coupon with pop up. There is a video of them comparing the 200 vs 210. I see its on back order now but mine did show up about 3 days after I placed the order.
 
I own a Hobart multi-process welder. My old welding helmet was not suitable according to the welding requirement. Now I am looking for a new one which is good for welding purpose.

I was wondering if anyone could point out some examples of popular Mig welder models
used in shops to weld brackets/cages etc.


Thanks.

Old thread but thought I would share. I bout the esab rebel 235 and it’s great. Makes a inexperienced welder look good. Expensive but definitely a top notch machine
 
I am almost completely sure that you should purchase this equipment only if you want to do welding in a professional sense. Because such equipment belongs to the professional sphere. If you like welding so much, then think about seriously studying and turning your hobby into an activity that will help you earn money. What could be better? Thus, at any time you can pass a skills test to become a licensed welder. Therefore, think about this idea and try to bring changes to your life. Good luck in your endeavors!
