Best small welder?

the small miller would work fine, the 130 or 135 or whatever it is now......... i dont like lincoln migs, but their tigs are nice....

i got the lincoln pro mig 140 from lowes. it kicks ass. you can mig weld from 24 gauge to 10 gauge and flux core up to 5/16 steel and you can weld aluminum. makes me look almost like a pro. haha. it also goes up to 140 amps and plugs right into 120.

hobart 187

i have the biggest 110 lincoln and use it all the time and it welds great. never had any problems with it and it has never gotten overheated or shut off

As for a small welder, I would go with the Lincoln 135 from Lowe's. About $500 and works great. I bagged the Dodge with it with no problems. I used it on all the notch and the link bars. I never had one weld break, and I drug the hell out of it. Good welded in my book. Plugs into 110 and works awesome.

Have you checked into Inverters?

Miller 175. Lincolns are nice too, but I fell you pay more for the same level machine from other companies.
