I have a Hobart H140 MIG and a Miller Econotig that does AC/DC TIG and stick.
The Hobart is just 115VAC and works considerably well for the price.
The Econotig requires 240VAC and a minimum 60 amp breaker. DC TIG doesn't pull as much power as AC TIG. TIG is a much slower process than MIG, so most of the mild steel welding I do is with the Hobart MIG. I have yet to try using it as a stick welder. It was expensive, but it serves its purpose and helps me a great deal in fabrication.

Well i got some depressing news from snap-on today .I guess there welders only come with a 1 year warranty . So i'm going to be putting some more money out my pocket .Good news is its only like 50 bucks so that still keeps me under the price of a equal welder. I should have the piece i need by next week so i guess i'll be reading and watching some welding on Youtube to learn some more .
