I'm getting ready to buy this

If you want to weld anything thicker than sheet metal you'll be disappointed. A 110v unit won't have the power you need to make a good weld. It will have to run near maxed out all the time. Do yourself a favor and make another choice. Just like anything, better equipment costs more.

If you plug it into a high enough breaker it should be fine. I've welded plenty of things with this same welder and no problem thus far.

To be honest JP, I would only buy it if he can come down on the price some.
A 110v welder will only weld up 1/4" steel, 1/8 stainless on its max setting and only be strong enough (for cages, bumpers,ect) with several passes.
I used to have one like that but after a few years of hard use I burned it up.
It doesnt have a long duty cycle, I still have a 110v welder (they are portable and work so good with a generator) but I went with a snap on unit (made by miller) but it has a continus duty cycle.
A cheap alternitive is a stick welder for anything over 3/8"
But for doing allot of fabrication and welds you can trust you should look into a 240v welder.

i have the same welder. i am using it on my build right now. everyone is right. you do have to watch how long you weld, but if you are going to use it a little bit here and there it is perfect. a 220v is better but work with what you have or can get. i would try to get it cheaper, i bought mine new from northern tool on sale for $450.

I want one too. I have a crappy craftsman mig with two power settings. Whoopie. Wish I could have something that nice.
