 Great Saw, Great Deal, Best Buy from Consumer Reports Saw is for my husband, two of his brothers have chainsaws. One gas Sithe 14", other is electric. They both were blown away by this saw, how well and easy it works. Dynamite product and price. Hubby is very happy. Third time's a charm After years of neglect it was time to clear much of our wooded half-acre yard. Our old 14" electric chainsaw was not up to the task so we bought a 16" model from a local home improvement store. Problems with oil leaks and finally a chain that could not be tightened sent us on a more careful online search. The 18" Poulan Pro electric had strong reviews and a very reasonable price. It has performed flawlessly in nearly daily use for the past month. It handles the small stuff with ease, and my 18-year old son has taken down 50' hemlocks and firs in 2' chunks of trunk with great success. Paired with a Patriot electric chipper-shredder, I'm finally enjoing yardwork! poulan pro electric chainsaw The saw was used by pro palm tree removal guys when they could not start their saw! It worked great, making short work of an 80 ft palm cut down and removal. Also my neighbor used it to cut down two nasty mesquite trees in no time! I highly recommend this saw.  Please! Pay attention to the warning labels. This chainsaw worked OK at first. I was using it to edge the lawn and it did a pretty good job. Not quite as clean as I would have liked but you can't beat the price. Well, I got to the end of one side of my lawn, and I wanted to turn it off. Not knowing how to do so (I didn't really read the directions), I just tried to grab the blade and stop it with my hands. Boy was that a bad idea! Now I don't have any fingers and I had to buy that $900 dictation software so that I can still use my computer. I really should have paid attention to that label that said "do not attempt to stop blade with hands", but who really pays attention to that stuff? The worst part about it is that I can't do my job anymore and I can't even sue the company that made it(something about putting a warning label on the product removes their liability). Yeah, I saw that warning label and it wasn't kidding! I will never "attempt to stop blade with hands" again! | |||||||||
