Got it setup last night and did a little flux core work (I hate flux core) and I am really impressed. I've used a friends lincoln weldpack in the past and I can say the difference in price is well worth it. The mig gun it came with has Miller stamped on it also.

I'm gonna try gas/solid wire tonight.

I bought one a few weeks ago. I had only stick welded before (I have a Hobart Stickmate), but I pulled the 140 outta the box, threw in the included flux core wire, and started playing around. My welds are ugly, but they're getting better. Seems to be a good machine.
