what do you all think?
I have a 220 outlet will that be fine?

here is what i have now its pretty big and 220 not very experienced in welding but i know its too much for the little stuff used this welder one time works great for heavy thick gauge metal but im no expert

I have a miller 210 and love it all the way from 22 gauge to 1 inch works real well
 
I have a lincoln sp-170 which is an earlier version of the one you linked to, and I love it. I have ran 90 lbs of wire through it without a hiccup. It also has the aluminum upgrade. The only downside is that the metal needs to be cleaned of any rust to run a good bead. But I think that applies to any wire welder.
 
I would stay away from the ones you can get and home depot and lowes. if you notice you only have a few settings for the heat. Regular ones will have atleast twice the adjustment for heat.
