Default Lincoln 2185 handy mig welder up to the task?

Anyone know anything about the Lincoln U2185 Handy Mig Welder? It is 115v but I think it will work well for learning with all the body and exhaust work I have ahead of me. It has pretty good reviews, a lot of them being by the shade tree mechanic type.

Looking for advice from those more experienced with welding. My main reason for wanting a small mug welder is to replace the rear quarter panel on my hatch.

LOL at "infinite" wire speed control.

For body panels and thinwall exhaust its fine. Used to use it at the shop I used to work at (or one very similar to it). Simple, easy, and it worked just fine.
