Default Welder choice

I picked up a Miller 211 after much looking. As a novice welder I stayed with MIG. The 211 does 110V or 220V and covers most needs. Most houses have
15A breakers for the majority of circuits and a 110V will overload the breaker
on the higher settings. You can't just change to a larger breaker because the wire run through the house is to small of a gauge for 20A service.

I had a guy put in more 20A 110V for welder, tools, compressor and 50A 220
V for welder. It has a cool plug that does both voltages.
