I have a Firepower FP-130 MIG welder. It can be used with either flux core wire or as conventional MIG (solid wire & gas). I bought the Firepower because it had the highest duty cycle (40%) of all the 110 volt welders I looked at. It comes standard with a Tweeco style gun. I specifically wanted a 110 welder for the small size and portability. I have had mine for about 6 years now and have worked it very hard with no problems.

Yes, flux cored wire splatters more than conventional MIG, but not as bad as a stick welder. There were a bunch of nay-sayers here at work and in my local neighborhood that said I wouldn't like the results of a 110 welder and flux core wire.., so I built my coupe entirely with it. Now they don't bring up the subject any more.

If you can afford it and have room for it, buy a Miller 220. If not, go ahead and buy a good 110. It'll get you going and will last indefinitely in a home shop.
