I purchased this saw for a 'yard' tool on my acreage, to break tree trunks and limbs down to firewood length. Delivery was prompt, the price was right, and my first impressions of the Poulan 3 1/2 hp are very favorable. The bar and chain are the same size and type as my old Homelite saw, and the weight is similar. I'm using a 25' #14ga. extension cord at present, with no sign of excessive heat in the cord. This is my first a.c. electric saw, and I'm very impressed with the torque, cutting ability, and overall utility of this unit. I'd buy it again, and although I nearly purchased the larger four hp. version, I am very satisfied with this saw. After forty plus years of chain saw usage, I've never owned and seldom needed a bar length of greater than 16". The 'light' saws have always performed and lasted well for me, and this Poulan fits my needs.
Tips: The electric motor develops full torque and horsepower the moment the switch is triggered, unlike gas-powered saw which 'ramp-up' via a centrifugal clutch, so be prepared to cut when you hit the switch, i.e. have a secure grip; I've not had problems with the cord, but I'd guess that many will trip on, cut through, or otherwise abuse the power source. Be aware of your footing at all times; The saw is much quieter than my old 'gas-guzzler', but still loud enough that hearing protection seems a wise idea; The unit doesn't seem to use much bar oil, but the chain and bar remain reasonably cool after repeated cuts through green hickory, so I'm satisfied that the automatic oiler is working well.
perfect for the job. October 24, 2008

Got this saw a while back cause I knew I'd need it eventually. Hurricane Ike knocked the top off of a 17" diameter tree. Used this saw to finish falling the tree and for getting it into manageable pieces. If you don't use a saw very often gas models tend to get gummed up and/or hard to start. This beauty of an electric sat and waited until it was needed and then preformed admirably. It chops up 10-12" logs like butter. Larger diameters are possible but slower. The product description claims up to 32" logs can be cut. Do not buy this saw if you have lumber that big to cut! I'm sure it is possible but this is not the saw for jobs that big.
I've owned a few saws including an old 6" or 8" Sears electric (nice but it had a manual oiler and it was just too small), an electric Remington (Cheap Junk, noisy), a gas powered Homelite (hard to start, noisy, smoky, vibrates ), and this Poulan 16 inch electric (best saw I've ever owned, fairly quiet, powerful, large enough for some serious work, automatic oiler, etc.).
BTW order direct from Amazon for a good price and free "super saver" shipping. Sometimes other retailers come up that may not offer as good of a deal. Shop around.

This chainsaw made very quick work of taking down a 35 ft dead tree in our front yard. The saw cut quickly and had no problems with the bigger limbs at all. I highly recommend this product its well worth the price.
 Works quite well, excellent price! July 21, 2008

Moved into a house with overgrown trees in back. Had to do a lot of cutting. Was using a reciprocating saw which worked well but time consuming. Cutting a 10 inch branch took a lot of effort and most often than not bent the saw blade. Was constantly changing blades and the cost was rapidly adding up!
So I decided to see what I could get for around $125.00 and was surprised to see that I could get a pretty powerful saw for around $100 bucks! I had a cheapie electric chain saw a long time ago that someone left at the old house we lived in. Having a pretty good experience using it, I decided to go for this saw.
Suffice to say, I AM NOT DISSAPOINTED. This works very well and I can cut things down in record time! My only contention is that it uses a lot of oil, but if it saves the saw blade .. so be it! The other is that it's a bit heavy to lug up a tree for a person under 145 lbs. It's hard to handle one handed (sawing a large branch while trying to hold on with the other hand) and that could be an adventure. But it works and works well!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to others. Great saw for the price!
