I've had my millermatic 135 for about 13 yrs, never a problem. Never have been much of a Lincoln fan, but that's just cause my dad was a welder fabricator and always used miller. If you plan on keeping it around for a while I would look at warranty between Lincoln and miller also duty cycle is important. If body works all you plan on with occasional 1/4 or 3/8 you wont need to go to expensive.
