Go with the Hobart 165. It is the same as the miller and is cheaper and comes with a pedal.

Been welding with mine all weekend and it has done a great job.

The Hobart is no where near the machine of a Lincoln or Miller! Cheaper, Yes

Go with a 175 or bigger if welding aluminum. You have to look at the duty cycle and inverter. Dynasty if you have the money

Don't you have better things to do than follow me on the Internet.

And the Hobart 165 is a miller 165.
