I dont think that is a welder, I think it is just an add on inverter for a arc welder

I have this I like it.

Re: the cheapest best mig welder that will work?

here is a link to my thread on here with my new welder with gas option. it costed me around $300 at Home Depot. My post near the bottom with today's pics of my flange are much better than the first post. This was my first attempt at welding as well.
