That being said, if you aren't willing to nudge someone in the right direction, then silence is probably a more helpful than hollow and / or dismissive comments could ever be.
Based on this consideration, the better/more accurate way to determine the maximum rating of outlets is to focus solely on the wattage.
With that said, if one of these welders happened to be tripping a breaker, I'd probably heavily consider finding the nearest trash can 🤣

If you want to get a bottom barrel welder. I would wait for a deal on a cheap MIG welder. A stick welder is really only good for putting together pieces of thick steel. MIG will be more versatile and you can sometimes find cheap ones for not much more than this.

The voltage is dropped to around 12v to increase current to 150amp. No need to change breaker
I also use these to revitalize batteries, doesn't work so well with car batteries but small batteries for my many lawn tractors. Not sure why it works better on them than auto batteries but it does.
They make attachments that insert heated metal brackets into plastic to essentially weld pieces of plastic back together.
These are great little machines that definitely have their limits but for most people they are priceless, they are small to store and they plug into a regular wall outlet and are very versatile.
I switched to stick welding and that really unlocked things for me. Stick welding is a bit trickier initially, but once you learn some prep and setup steps, it becomes easier. I have a multi-process machine and will do some MIG for lighter metals, but I find stick to be easier now.
I'd suggest that this is a great deal for someone who wants to learn. Most of these inverter machines work pretty well. With the correct diameter rods, you can certainly learn and then get a lot of work done with a machine like this.
Tip: Spend more on the helmet than you do on this machine. Being able to see well while welding is critical, and a good, auto-dimming helmet makes all the difference in the world for a beginner.
Welding is an incredibly deep topic. Lots of awesome, online resources that can get you over the hump.

Given they say 39A input rating @ 120V, that's pretty close.
All of that to say: I could believe this would trip a 20A breaker if you're laying down long beads. short beads you could get away with if you give the breaker time to cool down. Given the 25% duty cycle on this, you'll probably be doing that anyway.
If you're not running 100% / 120A you might be fine. I wouldn't want to run this on an extension cable of any significant length though...
