I weld a good bit for stuff which has to stay together. If it's not Miller, Lincoln or comparable (if there is comparable) I'm not wasting my money on it. I've seen lots of "inexpensive" welders which either don't work long or have no parts/service. I look at these low priced things all the time seeking one which is modestly priced but still works. Haven't found that yet.
If you want TiG, budget about 3 grand for a start. You need a foot control high frequency welder, a GOOD gun, a dedicated grinder with a wheel used only for sharpening the
TiG tips and a work area clean of contaminants.
Now, MIG isn't nearly that demanding, but you still need grinders, cutting tools, aprons, GOOD helmet(s), gloves, etc.
110V welders are good for sheet medal and that's about it as they're limited to maybe 110-120 amps. You must have 220V and preferably 50 amp service if you're going to weld much. Otherwise you're better off finding a good welding shop near you and having them do it right. I still use a welding shop for heavy work or aluminum.
As an analogy, I have two lathes, two mills and two drill presses in my shop. But I still use a "real" machine shop for heavy work.
Welding can be fun and you can learn to do it well. But it's not entirely trivial and you will have to spend quite a bit more that $350 to even begin to do it poorly not to mention well.

"Not able to weld aluminum nor is compatible with a spool gun."
The TIG is DC only, so it'll be good for Steel and SS only.
Usually $500+ for ac Tig

They should make welding the next TickTok challenge.
They have people getting felonies for sucker punching teachers....
And sticking pennies in btwn phone chargers & the socket (kids got arrested for arson in MA)...
And dancing next to a rolling car (people got hit/run over)...
And so on. Literally anything that china can think of, to harm and/or mess with retarded americans...
At least a welding TikTok challenge might make it cool to go into trades, which is sadly lacking in the US for the past few decades.

Is it worth the $77 difference?
Since I have 220 in my garage, it seems like it, however, the portability of 110 is nice to have. Hmm.

I've been welding since highschool (Miller all the way) and it sure ain't rocket science

(well, I'd jump on it now, if I didn't expect to kill/maim myself w/ this)

This old tony is worth a watch for some inspiration. All his videos are great.
