I'm extremely happy with my Hobart 187. Welder, cart, spool of wire, lifetime lease on an argon tank (with initial fill) all told right at $800. Haven't even opened the spool of flux core wire that came with it. I'm currently loaded up with .030 wire and I've been welding in cab corners, and doing occasional thicker steel welding, just change the heat and feed rate. VERY satisfied.

If it were easy they'd have grade schoolers doing it!
