Eskimo HC40

Has anyone bought one of these. I looked at one and started it up at the store. Seems like it has some juice and could really cut. I'm not a fan of buying a first year item though! And the propane and regulator kinda make me nervous! Opinions?

Hi, I got one about 10 days ago. It started after about 6 pulls, then one or two throughout the time on ice...cuts fantastic and idles smooth...anfter sitting over a day, it still takes five pulls or so to start....was able to use it three times, cut about 45 holes..I too am Leary about first year products and money is an issue for me, but 370 was a good price and replaced a 22 yo strikemaster chipper that was getting finicky

I bought one a month ago or so and love mine. First start was 4 pulls and now 1-2 after sitting for a week. It cuts super smooth and cleans out the holes nicely after drilling. Definitely feels like it has more power than the Jiffy... (IMO) I'm glad I bought the 10" for inside the fish house!

we bought one too and have had the same experience. I would add quite.

Yes it definitely is quiet...from what I remember I think the Jiffy pro4 might be just a tiny bit quieter, but will know for sure new years week!
