I'd pass on a unit with this low power, for a beginner all you can weld is sheet metal which is not too beginner friendly. If you can find something like a Hobart handler 140 you can weld a little thicker material. If you have 220 look for something on the order of 180 amps. Dual voltage sounds great and if you are traveling without a regular 220 source you can still get the job done but welding with a 220 machine is so much nicer you won't want to go back to 120.

It's not what you're thinking regarding your outlet amps/power needed.
The 'secondary' circuit of the welder can put out 90 amps, tho at less than 30 volts. That's the electrode & ground end you're actually welding with.
But the 'primary' circuit of the welder (which draws the power from your outlet) only needs no more than a 20 amp outlet, and drawing 120 volts.

It's not like an electric stove where it's drawing 50 amps (on the primary) and where you'd need a 50 amp circuit & outlet.

Been looking for my first welder to play with. Maybe build a trailer one day. This seems like a good starter welder, but I can't decide!

I don't think this is actually a Lincoln welder... It appears to be a Century welder based on pictures and reviews.

No price history on Camel Camel Camel to see if this is a good price.

271 generally positive reviews but reviews are graded "C" by Fake Spot (i.e., "Our engine has analyzed and discovered that 61.5% of the reviews are reliable.")

Hmmm.

Harbor Freight has a 15% off their welders today with coupon code 74986211

I picked up their Titanium Stick 225 for $272 as my first welder. I was considering a flux core model at first but decided on stick due to its increased versatility.

Help me understand here: Regular 110V 12G wire can carry upto 20 amp. What kind of monster circuit do need for this 90 amp "small jobs" welder?

It is lower voltage DC...20amp is good.

There is a camel price history, you just have to do it for the welder by itself without any combo of other packaged items.

This is the cheapest it's ever been. Average price over time for just the welder is $233.

There are guys on youtube who try these welders out and critique. I watched recently one that reviewed the titanium from harbor freight.

If you're new to welding watch this video. One of the best intro to welding videos out there.
