Electric is the going thing or on a drill. I am still a gas guy and own an old style classic Jiffy and newer Eskimo. Like them both and they are totally different on engine, speed, torque, blades etc.As someone mentioned its like asking who makes the best pickup. Saying that my next one will probably be on a drill or Ion style. Id you dont run & gun or prefer the no mix no gas method I would consider the extra dollars. And when you get old like me the lighter electrics are way better when you cannot drive on tte water.

Any common things to look out for when buying? Just looking for some info so I can compare apples to apples.
