I picked up one of these from Amazon to do a little welding on some projects I am working on and wanted to share my experience.
I installed a 30 amp breaker and exterior outlet for it though it states it will run on a 15 amp circuit. Added a 2 pound spool of .030 wire and started back welding some nuts onto 1/4" plate. It runs well with minimal splatter and good penetration and I am not a welder nor do I claim to be.
If you are looking for a cheap flux core welder, this one is worth a look
