More akin to an industrial hot glue gun, much easier to use and less temperamental (The rods this welder uses are sensitive to humidity).
Get a flux-core machine that says 200amps and it might actually do 160. You don't want less than that. Don't get a welder that's only good for 130amps, especially if it says 130amps, because it's probably only good for 90. Go through the trouble to get setup with 230v. 120v welding is possible, but your patience and your welder will love the 230v.
Use Lincoln .030" 211 MP wire. Don't mess around with $35 10lb spools. If you're a first-timer, don't mess with any wire that ends in GS. GS means single pass, which means the weld could crack with multiple passes.
Stick welding is great if you need to weld THICK metal and have a lot of patience for grinding and re-welding as a newcomer. Welding with flux-core is a much more enjoyable experience and doesn't involve hammering away slag. Slag with flux-core is so thin you can wirebrush it off. It's like smokey powder as opposed to thick, sandy glass/rock with stick welding. Flux-core welding is akin to soldering.
With first-time stick welding, you will absolutely have to get a grinder and grinding wheels. You're going to be digging a lot of slag out of tight spaces with stick. Just no way around it. With flux-core, all you need is a wire brush. Filler metal didn't fuse where you wanted it? Just make another pass, as long as you get flux wire than ends in -11. Or like I said, just stick with the Lincoln MP 211. You can use a wire brush on a drill, that's what I often use. You can get a wire wheel for a grinder and that's effing amazing. But not really necessary. You can just get a $5 wirebrush and it's totally fine.

you give it at least a good once-over during the first thirty days
you know what to expect from a one-hundred-dollar welder, or you ask someone who does to play with it

And if we further assume that this person already owns multiple grinders and doesn't mind having to grind something.
