Looking for a Mig welder

Hey everyone!

I had a question, and was wondering if anyone would mind letting me know, or make suggestions here. I'm in the market for a Mig Welder with spool gun capable, for small to medium projects I have on the side. Looking to mostly weld aluminum.

Does anyone know of a company they could suggest with a good model that's pretty cheap? I don't want to go too crazy with the price, but also don't want to give up too much in performance. Any suggestions?
Thanks
 
What Bobby said, stay away from the cheap aluminum wound junkers IMO
Hobart also makes some nice units too
 
You can mig aluminum, but it doesn't come out pretty. Better off getting a low-end millincoln tig unit.

Kinda what I was thinking. Then again the only type of welding I've done that looked anywhere near acceptable was mig welding on steel. Wtf do I know?
 
TIG and cheap are not generally used in the same paragraph. If you're looking for an inexpensive TIG welder you should be looking for a used welder.
