Default Help choosing a hobby MIG welder

Hi all,
For the past coupla year I have been contmplating getting a small MIG welder
for doing repairs and small metal projects. I need one that will work with
household current. Seems that most of these can weld up to 3/16 in- probaly
more than enough for my needs. I am leaning towards using flux core wire
instead of gas. In my area I can get Lincoln, Century, Miller or Hobart.
This is only for occasional use so I don't need the top-of-the-line but
don't want to be stuck with a junker either. I would appreciate input on
any of these brands as to their pro/cons.
Thanks,
Gene
