 _Never_ buy a single phase machine!  Get yourself three phase power

Only problem is that in the USA 3 phase power is limited to industrial areas. 
 My local power company will not hook 3 phase to a house, only to a business 
garage/building.  We are limited to 120/220 3 wire single phase.

Getting Sweedish power would take quite a extension cord!
