HF Mig wire?

Anybody ever use harbor freight’s welding wire? I just ran out again and $19 for a 10lb spool looks tempting but a total waste of money if its junk.

Good/bad/OK? Welds well? Good welds?

Well, I chickened out and didn’t buy the big spool. At first I was a bit stressed about it, it didn’t want to feed right and I had some other issues, but I think it was all the first couple of turns on the spool were tangled and messing with my welder… After I fed some out and then carefully wound it back on the spool all the issues went away and I’m quite happy with it.
