115 volt dual gas fluxcore unit would be good for your needs as you can start with flux and add gas at a later time when funds allow.

Harbor Freight Flux Core for the win. It's come in handy so many times....

Damn, price went up. It's still really cheap though.

i would just get the hf one. i got an arc from them as a beginning welder i like it. i got the arc because it was on sale for $79 which is what that mig used to go for. no reason to pay twice as much as a hf when it has been proven to be a decent machine for small ----
