Huh?
This was my question as well. I've had my ION for 4 seasons, likely drilled well over 200 holes with it and never had an issue. In fact, on average I only have to charge it 3-4 times per season. I'm sure some people have had issues w/the electric augers, nothing is perfect, but I've not heard anybody swearing at an electric auger that won't start when it's -10...can't say the same for gas augers. But use what 'ya got, electric augers are not cheap and if you've got a gas one that works keep at it and get your $$ out of it as they likely weren't cheap when you bought it either.
