I have one and I love it!! It's not a production line welder but for light duty fab work I dont think you can go wrong for the money.

I have the hobart 210MVP. I love it. It can run on 110v or 220v by switchin the end of the plug.

yeah i really want the miller 211 or hobart 210...but the only real benefit is the 110/220 capability. the 190 is basically a hobart 210 without the ability to do 110....and it's a lot cheaper at 650.

I really like my hobart welder. If i used it alot more i would have went with a miller but since i use it every once in awhile i went with the hobart. Parts are readily available at tractor supply and northern tool for it.

I've been looking at them also, at the shop we run millers 251/252 and a 110v one. Been wanting my own miller but our miller 110v sucks!!!

That's cool the Hobart is spool gun ready. Northern Tool has the 190 with a spool gun for 800. I have the Miller 211 w/ spool gun and it is a great little setup. The spool gun on aluminum works better than you'd think. Tends to start too cool and end too hot. But if you take your time that spool gun is very handy. That Hobart should do just fine.

The 190 is a great little Mig for sure!
