I got mine last year and no problems works great in the wheel house.

[Blaker55]

Just got an 8" one and the powerhead was bad so called Jiffy and they sent a new powerhead and we returned the old one all at their expense. No hassles at all. The new powerhead starts and runs like a dream. Doesn't stink up the shack with fumes and cuts like a dream.

No choke, no mixing of gas. When cold, takes about 3 pull for initial start, then first pull after that. We likey.

2 words.. Fricken awesome!! Have a buddy who has the jiffy and the thing starts on the 1st pull everytime, purs like a kitten and cuts like butter. My next auger WILL be a jiffy propane.

[Ziesmer]

Mine takes about 5 pulls if it is warm and about 20 if cold. Is it defective or just the luck of the draw? Or do different 1 lb tanks make a difference? It does cut really nice.

[jake23]

Has anyone compared how much gas is used drilling the same amount of holes you get out of a 1# cylinder

[pulsar_nx]

Ziesmer I'd probably call jiffy up and tell them what is going on.

I was showing mine off on the lake and watched a completely half hearted pull start mine right up. So easy a child could do it.

[AndRo]

Used mine all last season and love it. Mine always starts on 1 or 2 pulls. I like not having to hassle with mixing the fuel, yeah it is a little bit on the heavier side but my four wheeler doesn't care.

[Blaker55]

Zeismer,

Call Jiffy and have your serial number handy. Its written in large letters on the powerhead. Not sure how old yours is but call them and explain the problem and maybe you may qualify for a replacement?

Also, try starting it without the air filter cover on. That made a difference with our defective one.

[MJBaldwin]

My co worker picked one up last year he really likes his the only problem he has had was the gas line broke brought it back to scheels and they fixed it in about two days. Other than that it's a nice auger sure isn't as noisy as the old jiffys

Do you own one?

[Ziesmer]

Thanks...I will call em....It is brand new. Bought it at the show. I keep it in my heated garage and it still takes at least 10 pulls. I will try taking the cover off to see if that helps.

[leech~~]

Do you own one?

AndRo, not sure where your going with this but what does.

Aren't they tell you? I was asking, so if you do have one why don't you let me know! Thanks.

[BassKnuckles]

Make sure to ask them to send you a new head unit. If you don't ask then they may ask you to send it in for repair. Just ask them to swap it out and that you don't have a box to ship the bad one to them.

Yes they are a little heavier. I think they say they run a out 38 pounds. I don't mind the extra weight though. I need the exercise.

[CropDuster301]

I got one last season and it stared out great but then had problems starting it. I would drill 6-8 holes shut it off and i couldnt get the thing to start the rest of the day, fought this problem on and off all season and could never duplicate this weird situation, i called jiffy and they said it was something to do with the line from the regulator to the carb. They sent me the new part, i replaced it and the problem continued. I called back and they said it was the regulator so they sent me a new one, again i replaced it and I still have the problem. Sometimes it starts and others it will not run at all. They now have just sent me a new powerhead and Im sending my old one back, no charge.

Yeah Id call jiffy. We were out when it was 17 and for the 1st time that augers been out for the year and it started on the 1st pull. Even the guys 7 year old son was punching holes with it.

[EJ]

I don't have one, but just got back from fishing with my buddy who got one last year and did not tell me. I tried his and never used my gas Jiffy (which I love). It started on one easy pull every time for three days and cut great. We don't have thick ice yet, but from what i saw they are awesome.

[Stick in Mud]

These reviews sound mostly great, and the company's customer service sounds excellent as well.

Roughly how many holes do you get out of a 1 lb. tank with 12'' of ice?
