A couple of things to remember with TIG-
there are two consumables - the wire and the Gas -
I would stick with the trusted names - Hobart, Miller & Lincoln-
there are transformer based units - but with a 120 VAC input limit, you may have trouble...
Couple of bits to remember with Aluminium - the big challenge with welding it - is the material melts at a temp close to the welding temp - so keep the electrode moving...
also if you sand aluminum - to finish it - the dust particles can accumulate and spontaneously combust - see if there is an aluminum shop near you and ask for a tour - just to see how the are set up...
Have fun
Happy Listening
