Advice on best 110v MIG?

[Patrolman]

I don't have 220 anywhere near my garage and don't want to rewire for the occasional project. My dinky 90amp gasless has worked fine up until now, but I need to upgrade. Would prefer gas. Any opinions on the best 110v MIG?

I have a Hobart dual voltage that I like. But I must admit that I use it on 220 and it works much better that way. For a 110 though a dual voltage is probably the best you can get, then if you move or run 220 in the future it will become a better welder.

I also have a Hobart 135 amp 110V and it works pretty well. I would really like to get a 220V Mig welder ( I already have a 220 arc), so if you find a Name Brand 220 welder that is cheep, I will trade you for my 110V. Gas is a must, it really makes all of the difference.

Yeah, I don't think there is really such as thing as a 220 cheap MIG. I would love to have 220 already, as I would just drop the money on a good welder. For as much as I do though, I hope a good 110 should be fine. I am going to need to do a bit of sheet metal work at some point, so adjustability in heat is a must. The current one doesn't adjust and goes right through sheet metal.

Jeff,
I have a Miller 211(dual voltage) that you can come check it out, to see how well it works at 110v.
I love it!
I'd look for a dual voltage unit then you are set for when you do have 220v.

My Miller 211 Autoset rocks. Best price I found when I bought mine was through these guys. http://store.cyberweld.com/mi211migwewi.html

All my gas I get from Buckeye Welding Supply.

Sounds like I might have to try the 211 on 110v and see how it goes. Seems to be a good machine and ready to go to 220 if/when I do. Might get up your way Danny. Will let you know!

I have a very basic Mac 110 mig for the small stuff
For the bigger stuff I pull out my 220 stick welder
The Arc is like 40 years old and still works like its new !!!

I don't think you'd regret it!

Most of the body techs at work use the Miller 211. The Miller 135 (I think) is the 110v version.

Yup.
