In my opinion you should only buy a name brand welder. This should be a tool purchase that you plan on keeping long term. I would recommend a Miller, Hobart, Lincoln, Daytona Mig brands like that. Get a brand that your local weld shop sells/services so you can get replacement parts if needed. And don't rule out buying used as many of these come up for sale. I purchased a Hobart 140 and did all the welding on my 914 with it. I did chassis stiffening kits, metal wheel flares and some patch panels and it did a great job. And don't forget good eye protection I like the auto darkening shields. And a good cart, cutting pliers, tip cleaner, various spools of wire, shielding gas, good gloves it goes on and on. Good luck.
