I have this one http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=94164 that I bought when it was on a good sale (it was about $100 off the price currently listed). I bought it because the garage already had a 220 outlet and I thought it would be better to have a higher power unit. It only has 4 power settings (selected in binary with two toggle switches on the front panel) and I find that even on the lowest setting it will blow holes in thin sheet metal but I've successfully repaired several things with it that would have cost much more than the price of the welder to replace, so I'm reasonably happy with it.
