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
