Ion is the benchmark and has been pretty good. Remember 10 in holes are are cutting around 4% more ice tham 8 so will use more juice. I know when I sold them we did a few special orders for 10 and guys said it really hurt the power. Also remember the Eskimo machines which these are part of do cut slower. My gas is the same vs Jiffys.
If you search Auger Wars on Youtube there are some good ones and they are using 24 inches of ice which is more realistic than 10 in your link. Strikemaster does cut very well their gas too. Just not a lot of presence around here compared to the others.

I was not impressed with the Ion and a 10 inch bit - just from seeing youtube vids so no real experience. But the StrikeMaster Lithium 10inch seems to cut much better than the Ion which really, really struggled:

Anybody have or ever tried the StikeMaster Lithium? |
