Planning to buy Millermatic 120

Thoughts on the Millermatic 120?

Good starter welder, especially if you already have 120V outlets in your shop. Cheaper to run than stepping up to 240V right away. That said... if you think you'll need more power later, skip straight to a dual-voltage machine, you'll save money long-term.

@Heruela2000 I've used a Millermatic 120 a few times. here's the quick pros and cons.
the great thing about it is tht it's a classic, no frills machine. There's not a lot of fancy tech to break, and it's known for its durability and consistent performance. it's also great for beginners because the controls are simple.
the quality is good, cause it's made by Miller
sadly, the machine got limited power. as a 120V only machine, it's limited in how thick a metal it can weld. It's perfect for thinner gauge stuff like sheet metal, but you'll struggle with anything thicker than about 3/16"
