we have a couple of them in the shop, they work fairly decent from my experience,but i seem to get better welds from a 220v welder. But for your purpose i think it'd be a great little welder, my advice dont trust that auto set feature 100% of the time. I've had times where it didnt pick the best parameters

I've got a 140 w/ autoset. Its' aight I guess. For a beginner, it's a good place to start. I've found that it's not quite exact for me, but it's right in the neighborhood if you will.
