My friend bought one last year and I used it a few times when we went out together. It's very nice and cuts quick. It weighs about 28 pounds and has good torque. The only negative I can find with it is if you would need service on it. It has the emak chainsaw engine and I don't know how many service centers there are for them. So getting parts may take a little longer than the augers that use Tecumseh engines. Just my 2 cents.
