The first year I got my Icegator we had crazy ice. The gator tore through 3+ feet without any issues with the 8" Nils blade. The biggest issue was trying to keep your legs planted on the ice as the torque gets crazy in the thicker ice.
Had an issue with the power switches as it was their first year design I think but I fixed it myself but the new switches I heard are much better. This year I had the nut come loose on the chain drive but that was a easy fix to tighten it down. I love how you can get the auger out press a button and away you go. I see guys all the time adjusting the choke, pulling it multiple times, etc on gas ones and glad I didn't go that route.
