looking to buy my first welder

I have a cheapy HF in my garage ( friends unit )
in my hands its more of a plasma cutter than a welder...lol
LOL I was gonna try one for a couple weeks, the HF mig125. I was gonna learn to weld for a couple weeks, find a "problem" with it, and send it back for a refund, but I didn't even get that far. For starters, the spool of cheap wire that came with it was all rusty and I had to dig at it to get it unstuck. Then when I got it all set up and adjusted, it wouldn't feed, no matter how I adjusted the tension on the spool and rollers (any less tension and I woulda had a spiderweb of wire everywhere). Without load the rollers work fine, but load wire into it and BUZZZZZZZZ but otherwise nada. Got sent back next day.
