The sellers on ebay can type any title they want to advertise those welders.They are "fishing" with the word "mig" in the titles, or using mig as a "tag" word..but if you look a little deeper you will see the actual manufatures title being"FACTORY REFURBISHED LINCOLN WELD-PAK HD FLUX CORE WIRE WELDER(U2188-1)" which says nothing about mig.

-I am a welding teacher part time at Palomor College here in SD, and wanted to inform you guys the correct term..noy be a know it all and get a smart *** remark in return.....I'm done now...

to anyone wanting to know...the HF welder would be good to a max of 16 gauge mild steel imho and would work best with Lincoln wire 211mp somewhere around .025 thickness, but your better off buying a Miller if you are not concerned with cost too much..

Just got one for $136 before tax with the online thing and the 20% coupon. Odd thing is when they first rang it up, it came up $179 instead of the shown $250 before they price matched it.

For what I want to use it for, I think this will be perfect.

Whatever dude, I was just saying that it happens and I understand why they use the word "mig" because like you said it just fishes people in.
Never said you were a know it all, I was just trying to help others to pay attention to what they are actually buying.

Let us know how it works for you. I may look into one of those too for smaller jobs. I've got a larger 220v welder now but don't always need one that large and 220v outlet isn't always near by.
