I got the largest electric one I could find. It's pretty good, entirely metal housing so it won't fall apart, and no gas or oil to deal with. I don't know if 120v vs 240v makes a difference in that regard for Americans who want more powerful electric gear, we're 240v.


The US is 240V.


You know that's not the general-purpose outlets. Most houses have a few 240V circuits that are wholly devoted to large appliances.


It doesn't change the fact if you're in the US and you really want 240V you can (usually) get it. Just about everyone has 240V service at their home. And I think we should normalize offering 240V outlets in garages.


Yep, I agree about the garage outlets.
