Different motors and batteries, blades and cutting head are different, etc. sounded like the E40 is the Toyota and Ion is the Lexus.
I went with the E40, it just came yesterday for Scheels. I looked at the Ion, and went with the Eskimo mostly due to cost. I’m walking out everywhere, so a little less weight was a plus. Where I’m at we usually see a maximum of 12”-16” ice thickness, with the amount of holes I drill, I don’t need the extra battery capacity of the ion.Can’t remember if it was a podcast, or video, but I did hear an interview with someone from their parent company, there are several differences between the Ion and Eskimo.
