It might be a good starter welder on a budget and might be just fine for what you need. Eventually you will find it wont do the heavier stuff very good and the low duty cycle is a pain in the a$$.  one of the cheapest top end 110v migs is the hobart 140, the 220v 160 is real good too.  But it is about 5X the price you are looking at now. cheap welders are good for body work and light fabrication.
