No probs, just though you were being impatient. We were all new to forums once.
You'd posted it in the wrong section too so I moved it here.
Have a good read through this section, it's full of similar questions to yours and you'll soon get a feel for which makes to look for and which to avoid.

What is your budget?
You will probably have to rent gas from boc budget £100+. I know my rental is £98 but you will have to buy a fill to.
I had a Clarke and then upgrade to a portamig great welder but £500+.
It all really depends how much you are going to be welding and at what thickness.

Welcome to the site, I also posted my first time in the wrong section...so you are not alone.

As mentioned...You need to put some time in searching the threads, lot's to read to get yourself down to 1 or 2 preferable MIG's...then ask to clarify between the them.

My opinion is...and it is only 'my' opinion...Clarke or Portamig, depending on budget and intended use.
