The Eskimo tent that has no floor and sells for under $200.00 is slow to set up and hard to move around. You have to drill spikes into the ice to hold it in place.If you get a shelter with a floor, it will set up faster and be easier to move around on the ice, but they can be hard to pull out on the ice.
I have both styles and I do like the Eskimo pop-up, if I have help to set it up. It is not a good shelter in the wind though. I broke a pole when the wind picked up and pushed one of the sides in while we were setting it up.
