I have the small Hobart wire feed with gas that I picked up maybe 15 
years ago.  It is 120V and rated for 3/16" stock.  It does what little I 
need very well.  My son used it to restore a car body and I use it for 
light work.  I do have a Marquette stick welder but it has not been used 
in years.  I do have the advantage of a friend with a Miller heavy wire 
feed and my brother who does a good job with a stick.

Be aware that many cheaper wire feeds do not come with the stuff for gas 
and must be purchased separately and some really cheap models cannot use 
gas.  The Hobart models used many Miller components, sometimes with 
cheaper materials.
