I would probably pass on this and grab something at HFT. It would cost you a little more money but they have a decent return policy. I bought a used Lincoln AC225 for 100 bucks 5 years ago...duty cycle is 20% and weighs 96 lbs though (now I know why my back hurt so much). It seriously lacks portability and I needed 240 electricity in my garage.
Harbor Freight has a Chicago 80 Amp Inverter Arc Welder for $169.99 with near 5 star reviews. Needs 120v with a 20amp circuit (no special 220/240 wiring). Duty cycle is 75 amps @ 40%, shipping weight 9.92 lb, raving reviews. Some say they run it with a generator for remote repairs. Spend a little more, save your wallet and save your back. You might be lucky and find a HFT coupon out there too. I should have bought this over my old school Lincoln welder BUT that's okay. If you want to get into welding the multiprocess machines are pretty sweet too, they can do MIG,TIG, and Stick but they aren't cheap.
I would go wire feed for most things these days...cuts down on the learning curve dramatically. Depends if you want to get into it and learn, and in the thickness of metal you want to weld and the types of things that you need to weld. So many things to consider...hit up Welding Tips and Trick on YouTube and Jody will steer you in the right direction!

Ty for information my friend

How would you compare this welder with light portable once I can get on Amazon? I am going to use this once a year type.
Arc welding is much more difficult than using a wirefeed welder...plus you can get a wire feed welder (MIG) that is capable of using a shielding gas, which will give you cleaner welders. There's a lot to consider here...it's more expensive but it's scalable and it has a less steep learning curve. Arc welding, you get what you get. There's also a lot to learn about the type of electrodes that you can use, some are AC or DC only welding rods...like 6018 and 7018, all these numbers mean something. Welding isn't something you should decide to do on a whim without doing some research first. I feel like I'm all over the place here BUT all I can say is do some research to make sure the price, lines up with your skill, and that both line up with your intended use and/or need. There's probably a cross section there that makes sense for you. I'm not being cocky, hopefully you don't take it that way. I'm no welding expert but I've been around it my whole life due to my dad's interest on the subject and his experience of having attended welding school.
Top brands are Lincoln, Miller, Hobart (buy second-hand - new is way too expensive)...but Harbor Freight Tools has some way more affordable options as well and warranty to go with it. My brother has a couple welders from Primeweld that he loves, an equivalent to this is https://primeweld.com/products/16...ick-welder
I don't want to dissuade anyone from getting a good deal IF this welder (the one for this original post) does what you need it to do. But if it doesn't or if it breaks then it's a complete waste of your time. Especially if you depend on it to fix something or do some critical work. I'm thinking, running it from a generator or off-grid in Alaska or remote wilderness, 100 miles from society and the thing is just a hot piece of garbage that shorts out on the first arc.
Hopefully all of that helps some how! Whatever you do - wear a welding mask, wear gloves, cover your skin so you don't get arc burn, and don't breathe the fumes and don't set anything on fire - good luck and have fun!
