If you can stick weld, MIG will be a walk in the park.

Happy Hobart Owner Here 
Over 2 years without much of an issue. The roller where the wire feeds is crap. I have a C-Clamp on mine to keep the pressure on it (the little bolt in cased in plastic stripped itself about a year ago). They should re-engineer that part and it would be a flawless MIG.

Ditto, I haven't had any issues with mine except....some gunk deposited on the drive roller from a dirty roll of 0.030 wire. It was causing slippage and poor feeding when the trigger was pulled. Other than that, all systems go.

I'm not a very good welder but my buddy had that one and it was good. I did have issues with the wirefeed like others have commented but I'm sure it's nothing a little ingenuity couldn't solve.
