Looking to buy a welder. Anyone have any experience or suggestions on what to get?

I have a Hobart 140 Mig. It runs on 120 volts. I think its the biggest you can go before you have to go to 240 volts. I like it but its the only one I have ever had so I don't have tons of experience with other welders.
I do know that this one allows you to purge the gas without the wire running at the same time and wasting the wire. I think some other welders don't have that feature.
I got mine with a cart years ago from Northern Tool. The cart is very handy because you don't want to lug or drag your welder around the garage.

Got my inspection done today just before I park the car for the winter.
