is this any good

[Big Uli]

I'm looking at mig welders and i'm wondering if this one is any good

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MIG-WELDER-195-AMP-PRICE-INCLUDES-VAT_W0QQitemZ160412193100QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item25594fd14c

i don't wanna pay to much as i'm a) learning and b) will only tag my frame together and pay someone to do the rest of the welding
I would hate to end up with a high voice sitting on top of a prop shaft spinning round as my welding gives way

good price for a 195amp mig. I would ask that if you cut the blue plug off, will it affect the warranty. I also note that its not rigged for gas welding and the seller says it `just needs a regulator`, so this will cost around £25.

honest opinion avoid it like the plague gasless is ok in the right hands but not recomended  as a first time welder

I think they are Chinese,load of crap,
buy a good second hand one.
