I've had a little experience with the Eastwood 135, and it's a decent little welder for the price. It doesn't have enough power to use 0.030" effectively; it's a strange sensation to feel the wire pushing your hand away from the work. If you use 0.025", it's a versatile little welder up to about 3/16" or so. The feature that sets it apart from other entry-level welders is the infinite voltage control, much like a Miller.

Of course, if you can part with the cash, a Miller will make you very happy.
