Great saw for occasional use!
Got this saw a while back cause I knew I'd need it eventually. Hurricane Ike knocked the top off of a 17" diameter tree. Used this saw to finish falling the tree and for getting it into manageable pieces. If you don't use a saw very often gas models tend to get gummed up and/or hard to start. This beauty of an electric sat and waited until it was needed and then preformed admirably. It chops up 10-12" logs like butter. Larger diameters are possible but slower. The product description claims up to 32" logs can be cut. Do not buy this saw if you have lumber that big to cut! I'm sure it is possible but this is not the saw for jobs that big.

I've owned a few saws including an old 6" or 8" Sears electric (nice but it had a manual oiler and it was just too small), an electric Remington (Cheap Junk, noisy), a gas powered Homelite (hard to start, noisy, smoky, vibrates ), and this Poulan 16 inch electric (best saw I've ever owned, fairly quiet, powerful, large enough for some serious work, automatic oiler, etc.).

BTW order direct from Amazon for a good price and free "super saver" shipping. Sometimes other retailers come up that may not offer as good of a deal. Shop around.

excellent chainsaw
This chainsaw made very quick work of taking down a 35 ft dead tree in our front yard. The saw cut quickly and had no problems with the bigger limbs at all. I highly recommend this product its well worth the price.

Works quite well, excellent price!
Moved into a house with overgrown trees in back. Had to do a lot of cutting. Was using a reciprocating saw which worked well but time consuming. Cutting a 10 inch branch took a lot of effort and most often than not bent the saw blade. Was constantly changing blades and the cost was rapidly adding up!

So I decided to see what I could get for around $125.00 and was surprised to see that I could get a pretty powerful saw for around $100 bucks! I had a cheapie electric chain saw a long time ago that someone left at the old house we lived in. Having a pretty good experience using it, I decided to go for this saw.

Suffice to say, I AM NOT DISSAPOINTED. This works very well and I can cut things down in record time! My only contention is that it uses a lot of oil, but if it saves the saw blade .. so be it! The other is that it's a bit heavy to lug up a tree for a person under 145 lbs. It's hard to handle one handed (sawing a large branch while trying to hold on with the other hand) and that could be an adventure. But it works and works well!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to others. Great saw for the price!

Pleny of power
This chain saw has as much or more power than any gas powered chain saw that I have ever owned and I don't have to worry about it starting.

A Great Saw For The Price
I recently had a VERY large oak tree blow over in my front yard. I tried to get my $250 STIHL gas powered saw to start and as usual it refused to cooperate. I have bad arthritis in my shoulders and can't pull the starter cord very hard. I used this Poulan to cut that whole tree into carry-away size pieces with absolutely no problems. Even with a 100ft. extension cord it has plenty of power to cut through 14-16" limbs. If you know how to use and care for a chainsaw, you cannot find a better deal than this one. Ed in Lousiana
