Did the job…
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I’ve owned one of these (or the equivalent) for nearly ten years, and it still starts without crazy amounts of maintenance. It’s not very powerful, given the size, but it’s more than I could expect for the price (I bought a Stihl a few years ago and learned what I’m missing). But it passed the ultimate test, severing a thigh through pants without clogging the mechanism, so I’m happy.

Saw without a Case
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Saw is OK, I’ll have to see how it works over the long haul.
The ad said a case was included, but no case arrived.
I sent an email to Amazon, but have yet to get a reply over a week later ?

Great saw for the price
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is the first and only chainsaw I’ve ever owned. I bought it in 1999, I believe from Home Depot when they still sold Poulan in San Diego. I used it for clearing an easement that was heavily overgrown with sucker trees, and for lots of tree trimming and clearing of downed branches.
I’ve run through 2 blades, so it hasn’t been VERY heavily used, but for the average homeowner I can’t imagine you needing anything more than this saw. For the money, it’s a bargain. Definitely drain it for storage as others have mentioned. I’m currently in the process of hunting down replacement fuel line, as it has crumbled after a few years of improper storage. I had to fully dissasemble and clean the carb and the rest of the unit, but it still works (well, it did last summer so I’m sure it will still run with the new lines installed). Highly recommended.

Jim loves it. It replaces the Poulan 16″ saw that he used for twelve years. It’s familiar and IT WORKS.

Good saw!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Got this about a month ago. Used it to cut and cleanup some smaller, dying trees on my property. I also have been using it to cut some firewood. My neighbor owns forested land, and we’ve been cutting ash for firewood. No problems with the saw. It starts well and cuts well. Since firewood is selling for $250-$300 a cord in the Northeast, this saw has already paid for itself. We’ve cut one cord already and hope to do another cord before the snow flies. Came quickly from Amazon, and it was fully assembled. The only thing I’m missing now is some sort of blade guard or case for storage. I didn’t do 5 stars just because I have to see how long this saw lasts.

Cuts well but not very user friendly
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
This is a very nice chainsaw and it is a good value but I had several problems with it upon receiving it. First, I wasn’t able to get it started. I followed the instructions and tried dozens of times to get it started. I even had a neighbor who used to use chainsaws for a living try to start it and it wouldn’t start. I then sent it to the warranty place. A week later they called me to tell me they had no trouble starting it. I has to pay $30 for that diagnosis. When I was finally able to get it started on my own, it worked great. The other complaint I have is that tightening the chain is a very cumbersome process.

Praise for Poulan chain saw
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Still own one of these saws, bought back when it was called a “Woodsman”, nearly ten years ago. Have cut I don’t know how many large trees down (some I had to walk around with it) since we moved to the country, and had many Live Oaks that developed oak wilt. Not light duty work, I’ve worked the heck out of it, cutting those large trees all the way to firewood. Still running, still strong. Have replaced the bar twice, the chain three times. Used it yesterday and it was leaking chain oil. Took it apart and cleaned it, think I fixed it. Will find out later today. If I didn’t, I’m glad to find that I can buy another one like it right here on Amazon.
Wouldn’t consider buying another brand, after the success I’ve had with this one.

A great little saw
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
It’s a Poulan. It has a powerful, but compact 34cc engine that didn’t complain too much starting for the first time in 28 degree (F) weather. The instructions for starting the chainsaw are in pictures by the handle. The instruction manual was a little more technical, but cold starts are a snap. You pull the handle five times, then pump the little primer bulb 6 times, then pull till it starts.
It’s got an Anti-vibration handle on it that really makes for comfortable operation of the saw. It is small, but you can feel its 11.8 pound mass after welding it for a couple of hours. The vibration is very low. The “sweet spot” on the cutting chain is right where you’d expect it to be. It is noisy, so wear ear plugs. The operation of the saw is cleaner than I expected. It directed saw dust away from me, but some dust did accumulate in the area where automatic chain oiler works – not an excessive amount, but it was noticeable. You definitely want to wear eye protection when using this or any saw. The instruction manual spends a lot of time discussing kickback. If you are careful and pay attention to your technique, you can minimize kickback and other problems. There is an inertia activated chain brake on the saw just in case though.
This saw is small and inexpensive. It’s got plenty of power too. It fits well with the type of work that I need it for. I cleared the very large Bradford Pear tree in my front yard that was split open by an ice storm in just an hour and a half.
Highly recommend it for odd jobs and occasional work. Mine came with a one Year Guarantee too. The Poulan Chainsaw is Made in the USA.

Excellent disposable chainsaw
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This chainsaw has worked out well for us on our Avocado ranch. We bought 5 of them and let abusive employees use them on and off for about 5 years. We’re down to three that still run. You can buy a replacement bar and a few chains for them and the engines will run for quite a while. After the engine goes, just toss them. We used to have an expensive Stihl which lasted even less time and then would have cost $250 to rebuild. We just threw it away and started using disposables. If you’re not going to use it for a while, drain all the gas out or you’ll be sorry.

This chain saw is the best on the market when you compare costs
