While 220v may be ideal, my 110v, 20 amp MIG welder has done all I have asked of it from thin sheet metal to 1/8" steel plate. But what do I know, I've never been a welding instructor. I would agree about definitely getting a gas fed welder, but flux core does serve a purpose such as when you are outside welding on a windy day.
