About 6 months ago I bought a Hobart stick mate 205 AC it works fine for me as I fabricate stuff for my tractor and now my son likes it better than his wire feed but I got it from Northern Tools it was on sale but I don't remember what the price was but I like it and it really don't affect my electric bill that much.

I started off with a Lincoln wirefeed 100 welder I bought at COSTCO. It worked well for doing sheet metal and other thinner metal jobs. As my needs grew I replaced it with a Lincoln 255c and it has always been enough welder for my needs over the last 15 years. I still want to add a TIG but as mentioned before it will be an AC machine so a multi function machine is probably not an option. I'll also pick up an inverter stick welder for the portability.
