Surprisingly powerful and convenient

I recently had a branch fall off of a tree in my yard. Rather than pay the ~$200 for a one-time removal, I decided to buy a chainsaw and take care of it myself. After checking some reviews, this Poulan looked like it would fit the bill. It chewed through the branch (from 2" to 16" thick) in no time, and, being electric, was easy to start and stop during the process. As a bonus, it requires no oil-fuel mixing, so this ended up being a real treat to use.

Clean, Easy, Adequate - A Nice Tool!

I grabbed this saw as I was tired of watching a can of pre-mix go bad. I use this saw in conjunction with a 3700 watt portable generator for all kinds of duty (plus it's good exercise for the generator). If used with reasonable prudence, it WILL complete any task that you ask of it. Just be smart about the job, and large trees CAN be worked over with this saw.

Oiler works nicely and the saw spins enough rpm's to effectively clear chips from the cut. Just keep that chain sharp!

Even though the extension cord sometimes gets in the way, the lightness and responsiveness of this saw makes up for this minor inconvenience.

All in all, I'm VERY pleased with this saw.

Excellent Saw

I bought this saw based on other reviews and was a little skeptical if it would work as well as a gas saw. Bottom line.........it does. Plenty of power, no gas to mix and add, much quieter than a gas saw. I did not experience any kickback while cutting down several trees in my backyard. A few things to keep in mind. Buy a heavy duty extension cord (12/3). I bought a 100' and 50'. Used them together and they worked fine. If you are doing a lot of cutting (about a cord) buy a gallon of bar oil. The saw uses it fairly quickly and if you buy a quart (like I did) you'll soon be back at the store for a gallon. A gallon is not much more than a quart (think paint pricing). Be sure to adjust the tension on the chain and check occassionally. The chain only fell off once and since then I check the tension more often. Let the saw fall through the wood (do not force it) and it will keep going all day. I'm also pretty impressed at how sharp the chain has stayed. The saw does not inlcude a case and the bar cover supplied is little more than a glorified baggie. That aside the saw is a joy to use. I keep looking for things to cut down.

Great chainsaw, and lots of power

It was a bit of a surprise for me to find such power in an electric chainsaw. I was delighted that it took down trees that had become too large for their space--it did it with such ease; I looked around for more trees to fell. Then felt a bit guilty that it was such fun to use. I think it is more important to plant trees than to cut them down, so I plan on doing just that this fall. It had twice the power of a gas one that was loaned to me. I highly recommend it to others! I wish it came with a case, though.

Box had been opened - a previously returned item

The item had been opened and resealed, I assume it was previously sold and returned. Chainsaw itself was clean and almost certainly had not been used or else it was cleaned up exceptionally well, but internal packaging was incorrect, manual was slightly damaged and it was not possible to tell for sure if anything was missing (for example, there was no parts manual. There was no listing of "What's Included" so there was no way to tell for sure if some contents had been pilfered or lost. Seller did not note that his items might be previously opened and returned.
