Amazon.com Product Description
The Poulan Pro 18-inch 42 cc 2-cycle gas anti-vibration chainsaw features a 16-inch bar. Its anti-vibration system isolates the engine from the chassis, reducing vibration and improving comfort and safety; further safety measures are ensured by the inertia-activated chain brake, which stops rotation of the chain should kickback occur. The auto oiling system lubricates the bar and chain continually during use. The saw also features: durachrome vertical cylinder design; an improved pulley starting system; a reverse sprocket for easier chain replacement; a super clean air filtration system, and a soft touch handle. The included case keeps the saw neat and clean. This unit come fully assembled and includes a 1-year warranty.

 Great product at a great price November 17, 2008
Mack McKinney (South Texas)
A month ago my 10 year old 18" Poulan "Wild Thing" developed a problem where one of the chain bar bolts became loose in the housing - it was still usable by fooling around with extra nuts but I concluded it was time to relegate it to backup. So I sprung for an 18" Poulan Pro. It corrects the only things that were trouble with the old one by having a finger tighten bar bolt and a thumbscrew chain tightener that can be used in the field with no tools. It starts easy and the anti-vibration works as advertised. If it gives anywhere close to the service of my last Poulan I will be delighted. I use it for cutting brush and firewood.

Used this saw for several hours to cut down an oak tree.
Although the tree was much too large for the saw (36" diameter, the saw cut into it quickly and cleanly. It has enough power for up to maybe 24" diameter trunks. The blade seemed a little flimsy (it flexed easily while buried in the trunk) but, like I said I was cutting too much tree.
 Poulan Chain Saw - DOA November 9, 2008

Ordered and received a brand new Poulan Pro Chain Saw. Followed and performed all of the manufacture start up instructions. On initial start up, saw ran for approximately 3 seconds and locked up with a thrown piston and rod. The saw was well within the 30 return period, but Amazon would not allow a return. In contacting Poulan directly, Poulan directed me to an authorized service center. The service center worked with Poulan to get a new saw delivered for me to pickup. I was very disappointed with Amazon not allowing a return on a DOA product.

It's a cheap saw at a cheap price.
I bought the Craftsman equivalent (same saw, different color)
You can liven it up by adding holes (two 3/8" or four 1/4") in the
front of muffler cover and then richen up the mixture screws a bit
(1/4 turn out from factory setting is a good start)

The motor is fairly good and has decent power when allowed to breathe.
But the chain oil pump will fail. It has a plastic gear which is prone to stripping. Parts are not expensive, but it takes time and a bit of knowledge to do the repair.
If you want a cheap saw that works pretty well, this is one - but it will
not last for very long.
If you want a quality saw that will last, go with Stihl or Husqvarna.
Wow! What a beast of a saw at a ridicously low price! September 17, 2008

Followed directions to the "T" and it runs great! Have removed several trees, all ready, and only had it for two days. Needless to say, it has not been given much of a break. This saw has probably the best anti-vibration setup I've ever worked with. It has plenty of power for an 18" bar and uses very little bar oil. Assembly was a breeze and the tool-less chain tension system is very straight-forward and simple. The only bad thing is it didn't come with a case. But for a little over $100, I don't have much of a complaint!
