What's a good welding machine brand you guys could recommend? Looking to buy my very first one.
 
Lincoln Electric and Miller are usually seen as top-tier brands because they're reliable and have great support. If you're watching your budget, ESAB and Everlast are also good options. If having different options is what you want, start with a multi-process machine that does MIG, TIG, and stick welding, like the Lincoln PowerMIG 210 or Miller Multimatic 220. What kind of stuff are you planning to make?

Have you bought your welder already? I'd need more details to recommend the right tool, but for gene suggestions, stick with the proven brands like @SparkyCool mentioned.. Miller, Lincoln Electric, and ESAB are reliable ones! For a versatile start, a multi-process machine that runs on both 120V and 240V is usually a fantastic choice for a beginner's shop.
 
What's your budget and what kind of projects? household repairs or actual fabrication work? I hope you're aware that Lincoln and Miller are pricey.
