After dicking around with gas augers for the last decade I'm in the same boat, I'm going the ion route too! I'm going to wait a bit yet and maybe get a bit better price in spring. But talking with a gentleman who had one yesterday the thing is awesome. This dude had a 10" blade rigged up on his and it was pretty cool said he could only get about 25-28 holes on the 10" on a single charge but like most vehicles has a 115w outlet and the battery charges in like 2hrs.
If you don't have a truck or seperate place to keep your auger then this thing is the way to go.... No stinking up your car/SUV.
