Harbor Freight mig welder

Hey y'all,
Might have seen this before but any experience in using the very basic 90 amp MIG welder that HF sells for $90 ? I only intend on using it for some light gauge sheet metal welding, maybe 16 ga at the heaviest. Know some of their stuff is junk but thought I had read before that for minor stuff, it is okay. Just don't want to waste $90 if it is also junk.
Thanks,
Mike

Looked at the website and didn't see the one you were referring to. Typically the real cheap MIG welders don't have gas capacity. My understanding is that a non gas weld is dirtier than a gas weld - so, my 2 cents say at least get gas capacity.
