John I bought a Cigweld gas/gas less welder. Cost about $100 a year to rent a gas bottle. It’s cheaper these days to buy outright and just fill it when needed.
Mines not too notch but it has work well for anything I’ve used it for.

This looks good. It's a MIG Gas/Gasless and MMA/Stick electrode as well as DC TIG welder.
Bunnings have it for $500I see yours is a130 amp. Do you trip your power when using it. Talking to a few welders at work they all said go at least 170 amp.

Thats welders talking... I welded 3mm plate on the bull bar with this mig not even on the highest setting and it worked a treat. I'd have to look at the spec on the inside of the access panel on the welder but I think it does up to 5mm. And my house was built in the early 70's, original house wiring, and I have burnt the house down. The breakers didn't go off so its not overloading the system.
The welder was on special somewhere when I got it. It was cheap. But bloody handy. And being Cigweld, they are a good brand so it was a no brainer.
One day I will upgrade with a Tig, not sure if I would use this or not. The welder doesn't get used much at all. I've had the same gas bottle for four years. Lol.
I've got a tig and am always on the look out for a cheap/good mig. The tig is very handy but a bit tricky to get used too and significantly slower than a mig. I would save your pennies and stick with the mig unless you had a specific job for it or had the cash burning a hole in your pocket.
I'm not a welder though.. So take that with a grain of salt.
