Well....my "new" jiffy auger is in the shop. I bought it last January and used it twice. Pulled it out to fish this past weekend and the recoil starter broke on the third pull. I brought it to the local service center and he needed a warranty confirmation so I wrote to jiffy and asked for help. Here's what I received for a reply...
.....
The recoil is part of the Tecumseh engine, therefore part of the Tecumseh warranty. Not the Jiffy warranty. Tecumseh requires proof of the date of purchase, ie sales receipt, not when the Owners Registration was sent. The warranty is for one year from the date of purchase.

So basically.....I have to pay to fix my "new" auger that I paid $380. for one year and a week ago! The worst part is that my wife had picked out a different auger and I sold her on the new jiffy stealth stx that was $100 more.
OUCH!
