Good product
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The Poulan 1420 14-Inch chain saw is easy to be used and it is durable.
The saw needs to be adjusted after using for several times, but it works well for your backyard.

easy

This product is very easy to use. I trimmed a medium size tree without problem. The only con is you have to pump the button frequently to give it oil.

Poulan 14″ Electric chain saw
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Exactly what we were looking for. Good product. Only thing I wish that it had an automatic oil feed for the chain instead of manual, but that is not a big thing.

GREAT PURCHASE!!!!!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
IT WAS AMAZING HOW WELL THIS SAW PERFORMED WITH BOTH MY HUSBAND AND SON WORKING TOGETHER TO TRIM TREES WHICH WERE IN NEED OF A LOT OF WORK. IT SAVED SO MUCH MONEY NOT HAVING TO HIRE SOMEONE TO DO THE JOB THAT THE SAW WAS ABLE TO DO. THE SAW MORE THAN PAID FOR ITSELF!!!! WOULD MAKE THE PURCHASE AGAIN IF NEEDED, BUT I THINK THAT IT WILL LAST FOR ANOTHER TIME OR MORE!!!!

I love this saw!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have a 20-year-old, 20″, 2-cycle gas-powered Poulan, a real nice saw! I love it.
I recently used an electric Craftsman similar to this Poulan I’m reviewing. I loved it also. I worked it hard. It was easy to use, and felt very secure. I took down and cut-up a big pine tree (40+ years) with it, and accomplished the task more easily than a bigger saw would have. So, I have no complaints about the 16-inch Craftsman (from Sears, not K-Mart).
Having some heavy work to do, I came home intending to buy a Craftsman. However, reviews complained about nylon drive gears stripping. I got cold feet. I found the Poulan and hoped it was more sturdy than Craftsman. I paid just a bit more for it. (I haven’t taken either one apart, so I can’t speak of any impressions I have of relative fabrication quality.)
I expected to get a very similar saw as the Craftsman. I didn’t, other than size and maybe power. (The Craftsman, 16-inch, was ‘bigger’.) Craftsman had an auto-oiler. Poulan requires periodic, manual, push-button oiling. Not difficult, you just have to think to do it– just like with my gas saw. Craftsman has a very clever, user-friendly, cam-actuated chain adjustment. Poulan has the same mechanism as my gas saw. Thus, Craftsman has more whistles-and-bells. Me? I don’t care. I can cope with older styling. I want a sturdy machine.
Prior experience (20 years ago) with electric saws had me expecting to be disappointed in cutting power and speed. With neither electric saw did I regret not having gas power. Each cut with the ease I expected. The advantages? (1) Check oil, chain/bar tension, plug it in, and go. (2) As opposed to adding to the list/mess: mix oil and gas, fill tank, set choke, pull cord, tweak, pull again….
The clincher: After taking down the big pine tree, I was whipped. Tired to the bone. Had I been doing the job with a saw that was bigger and heavier, required frequent pull starts, and simply was more physically demanding , I might not have gotten the job done within the day. Besides, I didn’t relish the idea of being even more tired.
At this point, I have worked my Poulan as much as I worked the Craftsman. Both are still going strong.
Electric saws can do all I want to do in almost all cases, and they do it with less effort. There is less kick-back risk, due to more modern design or whatever. Both things considered: THEY ARE MUCH SAFER TO USE!!! than bigger, heavier machines. (Machismos: I know experienced sawyers who have hurt themselves, very badly, with big, powerful saws.)
I like my choices: (1) To buy an electric chain saw, and (2) To buy this particular one. Craftsman vs. Poulan? Time will tell.

Poulan 14-inch electric saw
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Great product for my needs. Easy to use and quiet. I have been cutting dry maple up to 12″ and dry mesquite up to 14″. Saw cuts the wood like butter. Straight even cuts that makes installing a faceplate on the blanks quick and easy for the wood to be mounted on a lathe.
The lightweight made trimming a neighbors tree a breeze.

slippery
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
The chain saw is okay but, when you try to hold it with gloves, it can slip out of your left hand, which could make it a very serious situation. I have tried to figure out a solution to make the left handle less slippery but to this date haven’t come up with a good one. I almost returned it because of that.

Small, light, workhorse
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I had a huge hedge… 8-10 feet high, 4-6 feet across and about 40 yards long. It was out of control and growing higher and wider each day. This little electric chain saw I chose has greatly assisted in my endeavors to get that hedge down to 4 ft high so I can keep it there. The saw was plenty powerful enough, yet light enough for an old man to hold it and do the job. It would occasionally get hung up on the thick brush and the chain would come off, but it was easy to get to the two bolts to loosen the chain and put it back on. Being electric made the saw also easy to maintain as I did not have to worry about gas and oil, nor did I have to pull and groan to get it started.

Works as advertised
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This little chain saw did exactly what I needed. I used it to trim tree limbs up to about 3-4 inches in diameter, and then to cut them up for disposal in my yard waste bin. It was easy to use and light enough to use for extended periods and above my head without fatigue.

I was looking for a inexpensive chainsaw for some light work around the yard.This one worked out great

Even a person 5′ tall can handle this!!

I really am able to control this saw, as opposed to the gas engined one I purchased previously. It is balanced and light enough I can control where the cord is, where I am, and concentrate on what I am trying to accomplish!!
