Both companies have a good reputation, based on my research.

But, Jiffy has had their propane unit out longer and hence have had more time to work out any "issues". I am going with the Jiffy! ;-).

I'll keep you posted.

I have always been a huge Jiffy fan... I have repaired lots of both brands ( gas versions)... the propane models are heavy.. but despite the doom and gloom predicted ( and admittedly I was one of them).. there seems to be little problem with them ..even in extreme conditions.. the early models had regulator/hose issues, but I think all those problems have been cleared up.. I don't know a lot about the Eskimo....If I were buying a new model, I'd take a ride to a dealer ( Kittery might have them out by now) and "play" with them... see which brand fits you and your physicality... whichever brand you choose, I'm sure you will have it a long time..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
