What he said.
Can only add a couple of thoughts.
110 MIG very versatile. I've used it with extension cords, generators, several widely different locations for little jobs (transports fairly easily). A Lincoln 135 Plus, does 90% of my welding up to a quarter inch or so.
220 AC/DC stick for heavier stuff.
Stay with a good brand for service, reliability, resale.
You can't go wrong with Hobart/Miller (same company), or Lincoln. Suggest looking for used, there's a lot of them around. You might consider a brand that a nearby dealer features in case service is needed.
