 Very Good Chainsaw June 30, 2006

I originally bought the Poulan Pro 42 CC 18" Gas Chainsaw but after reading the reviews here I took it back without even taking it out of the case and bought this one instead. I am very glad I did. I only need a chainsaw for around the house to cut fallen trees or the odd job. So the idea of keeping a can of mixed gas and oil didn't appeal to me. Not to mention the saw would sit on the shelf for months at a time between uses and I didn't care for the starting problems or engine repairs of a gas chainsaw. However I was worried that this electric chainsaw would not be powerful enough. I had 2 fallen trees with a bases of about 15 inches that I needed to cut into firewood immediately. This chainsaw performed perfectly. I realize that it was new so the chain was nice and sharp but it still had no problem cutting through everything quickly. I loved being able to start it and stop it at will without the hassle of priming a gas engine or overheating problems or running out of gas or messing with the choke. I stopped whenever I felt like it and came in the house for a drink of water. Went right back out and with just a squeeze of the trigger was back to cutting again. I have a perfectly cut half cord of firewood in just a few hours. Amazon delivered the saw to my doorstep in 7 days with the free shipping. The saw did not come with a case or chain oil so I had to make a quick run to the store for some oil. I was happy to see that the saw used almost a quart of chain oil for the 2 trees. This told me that chain stayed nice and wet. Afterwards I spent about 10 minutes cleaning the saw back up like new and put it back on my shelf for the next time. It only took removing the two lugs and the chain and bar came right off for cleanup. Nice job Poulan.
A GREAT little saw! November 4, 2006

This is a great little saw and a real value at the price.
It's powerful enough for the typical yard cleanup jobs you run into, and it's clean and easy to use, since all you have to worry about is keeping the chain oil reservoir full. This is NOT a production-style saw that you can take into the woods and cut fire wood. It's a yard maintenance tool-- and a good one.
This saw more than justifies the "Best Buy" rating Consumer Reports gave it. I'm very glad I bought it, and I'd do it again.

A big tree limp fell in my backyard. Tree removal companies wanted $350 to remove it. Decided to buy a chain saw and do it my self. I've never used a chain saw before and was intimidated by the gas powered ones. Bought the Poulan based on the positive reviews and it works great. Easily cut through over 14" of wood and not that scary to use. I saved my self a few hundred dollars and have some wood for the winter. Might keep it or sell it on Craigslist.
 Shipped me an open box and defective unit July 10, 2006

After reading all the positive reviews on this saw and the positive experience I have with the Craftsman 3.5 HP electric chain saw (34116), I decide to buy this electric chainsaw instead of an 18" gas powered model. The Craftsman has been used to fell pines and poplars as large as 12" in diameter with no problem and I have had it for over three years and it has cut a lot of trees.
Well, I have to send this one back to Amazon today. To Amazon's credit, it allowed me to return but this one should never been shipped out.
The box on this saw was opened already because the box staples were all missing. Plus, there was the word "oilll" on the box. Apparently Amazon decided to ship me an opened (maybe defective) unit. This might be due to the fact that they only had a few in stock.
I immediately contacted Amazon. The service was excellent. A replacement one was ordered for me and I was asked to send back this one. However, the replacement was not ready to ship because of "change of suppliers". I cancelled the replacement order, figuring I would give this one a try. If it works, then I will keep it. If not, I will return.
So I put oil in the saw and tried a few cuts. Not to my surprise, the automatic oiler on the saw did not pump any oil. The chain and bar stayed very dry. I then ran it in high speed for about another minute and it was still dry. The saw, however, sound very powerful. It is a bit heavier than my Craftsman 34116.
I really have mixed feeling on this order after many many orders from Amazon. I am also looking to buy an air compressor/nailer kit. In reading some of the feedbacks, there were users complaining Amazon shipping opened units. As I said Amazon should have never shipped this one out as it was apparently defective. However, its service in dealing with the issue was excellent. So overall, I will give this a two star rating because of the excellent after problem service.
 Great 4HP chainsaw for $90 June 15, 2006

As long as you can use it within extension cord reach, this is a great tool. the chain oiler is very good - the chain is always nice and wet without spraying oil, which is exactly the way I like it. And, of course with electric, there's no gas mixing and start up problems, and the saw is considerably quieter and lighter than a comparable 2-cycle powered tool. But, keep in mind, this is not a toy -- lighter saws can kickback easier, but on the otherhand they are easier to control as well.
Regarding the extension cord, I was worried that 4HP (4HP = 2984W = 27A @ 110V) would draw a lot of current. But I've had no problem using my regular old orange 14ga 100' outdoor extension cord. It seems to work just fine, and doesn't get warm even after an extended duty cycle. The saw only draws full power under extreme motor loading situations -- like if the chain is binding or dull or something....
