Most of my usage is farm equipment, I have repaired a trailer with 1/4 inch angle and heavy sheet metal. I have added stands to some of my three point attachments and welded a tube jack to my zero turn mower.
I find it starts well and lays a solid bead with the limitation being my skill.
I have an also have an old lincoln stick welder, a multi-process plasma cutter that can stick weld, a titanium flux code welder. I never use the other two stick welders since getting this and returned a titanium stick welder after using the one I have.
The size/weight of these inverter welders is very convenient, easy to grab and throw in the car or truck to take to friends.
I have looked at my notes and the highest power I use on different sticks is 107 amps for a 3/32 7018. I find the 110V adequate for the 1/4 material as well. If I didn't already have the 205 I would get this one.
I would also second the recommendation for the yeswelder true color helmet. I was not happy with my harbor freight helmet(s) compared to the true color auto darkening.
Weld outside with good ventilation, watch some youtubes, practice laying a bead. If it sounds like bacon frying that is good, if it smells like bacon frying you are on fire.....
This is the helmet I "splurged" on.
Happy with the purchase

I have used 6011, 6013, and 7018 sticks but tend to use 6013 for most things.
I use a flux core for thinner metal.

Thanks for the suggestions. Want to get the right one and only cry once but don't want to break the bank either.
First weld in 10 years with this on a 120/20a circuit...
Not pretty but tail wheel for brush hog is still holding

I was turned on to this brand by some guys living in the EU and Middle East who build/rebuild battery packs for their electric bikes--this was long before the electric bike craze hit the USA.
Back then you could buy the spot welder as a DIY kit and assemble it yourself. Now they just sell it assembled.
They have a version intended to be powered by a car battery and a version intended to be powered by a Li-Ion battery pack.

Alternately, I might just try and fashion a spring-loaded cell holder and make it really simple--and safe.
Breaker sensitivity may vary though. I've seen some people mention working in short weld segments if longer uses tend to cause a trip.

I think the 220 would improve the max current I could use and maybe the duty cycle but for me the 110V duty cycle and current have been fine. My 220v plugs are less convenient until I finish wiring down at the barn. I would actually consider getting this 125A model to have one handy at the barn and one at the house/garage when I get wiring finished.
I hope the 125A version works the same way with just an upper limit on the weld amperage.
I just went to look for any useful info of the welder and once again reminded how light and small it is. The cables and electrode clamp are reasonable quality as well.
