I have the hobart 135 ( model before 140 came out) and it has provided very good service. One nice thing about the hobart is that it is manufactured by the same company that builds miller welders so most of the consumables and some of the parts are iterchagable ( my hobart came with a miller gun). Also Hobart has a very good warranty for a home user. Their website has alot of info and "how to" section.
