Mig welder questions

I was a welder by trade for many years. That being said Miller was the preferred welder. Looking for something for home use with NO 220/230v, I was limited to 110/115. I asked our welding supply guy(sold Millers). He said buy the Hobart and IF and when the plastic pieces(drive wheel brackets and such) buy metal Miller pieces as replacements. Same parts different materials. Get a tank right away. Flux core is for the farm, not the shop. If yoy get a Hobart, switch polarity. Comes sey up for flux not tank.
