not for a maxstar. weighs about 12 pounds or so, and is the size of a
typical counter top toaster. amazingly, its one serious tool with the only
downside being no mig setup, and no foot controls or high frequency for the
tig. http://millerwelds.com/products/stick/maxstar_150_s/

hi peter,
your washer should be on a dedicated 120v circuit, and your dryer should be
on a dedicated 240v circuit. if you buy a 120v welder, just use your washer
plug (but dont weld at the same time youre washing clothes) and if you by a
240v welder, just use your dryer plug. here is a write up i did on how to
convert a dryer plug to a welding plug.

I don't have a Maxstar yet, I was about to buy one but I got a
ReadyWelder instead, to use as a spool gun for my MIG. As soon as I
can afford it I think I will go for the 150 or 200. I can use the
ReadyWelder with it making it a portable TIG/STICK/MIG. My current MIG
is a 400 pound tub. The lack of a foot control is compensated by a
hand control on or near the torch. Also I think the lack of Hi
frequency for starting the arc is replaced by the "touch start".
Never used a TIG though so I could be wrong.
