From my  personal experience, 110V MIG welders are pretty worthless.
Everyone I know  who has bought one, has regretted it.  I have a Miller 220V
MIG and  even it struggles on the thick stuff.

Gotta disagree on that Jeff.  I've had my 110V  MIG for many years and use it
very often.  True it will not penetrate heavy  metal for a good weld.  But,
for convenience and portability it's  unbeatable.  After over 10 years of
ownership and no repairs to the unit,  I'm satisfied with mine !
