I've done TIG welding, and yes, it's nice.
But you're not going to do a good job of it with a 110V unit.

It is definitely the best for welding aluminum, and I use to love using it for stainless.

MIG is the way to go though for home hobbyists...it's cheaper and easier.

The most important thing to remember when welding, is clean joints...wire brush the edges bright-clean and don't be in a hurry.
Safety is also important...get the right lenses, wear leather (I got many a 'sunburn' in the open-V area where my shirt didn't cover).

Practice, practice, practice...
