I also got one this year but have not drilled yet, season up here starts on the 1st of Jan. I read all the reviews I could find and from what I've READ the pros outweigh the cons. I did leave it outside one night when the temps reached -5 F with the tank attached, uncovered and it didn't operate well the next morning until I put on a new, warmer tank or shook the tank that sat outside all night. On very cold starts I would recommend to throttle it halfway while pulling cord. I also swapped out the spark plug (torch) that was installed from the manufacturer and put a NGK CR8HSA, seems to run smoother. Most users will agree that it will fire up on 1, 2, or 3 pulls. I like the idea of not having that gas smell on me or in the vehicle and the easy starting procedure. I'm anxious to give it some real world test next week
