Look at the duty cycle 10%.
You will get what you pay for.
You may be able to weld some gum wrapers together with it befor it overheats.

Depends on what you are going to use it for, they make great boat anchors, but not good welders. I'd rather find a good used Lincoln for the same price.
X2 If money is an issue, look for used Lincoln, Miller or Hobart.
Don't buy that welder. Little POS that thing is. 10% duty cycle is LAME AS COULD BE.

I'd rather use 2 car batteries and jumper cables....
hunt E-ghey for used Milers, Lincolns or Hobart....

ok thanks guys. i need an mig so il keep looking
The 10% duty cycle shouldn't be a problem since the machine will have plenty of time to cool down while you tear into it to fix the crappy wire feed system after it takes a dump in its pants after every 10' of wire it coughs out.
