The saw is reported to start easily, run smoothly, and deliver good cutting performance, even on larger logs.

I purchased this Husqvarna 435 chainsaw on Thursday at Lowe’s. On Saturday I tried to start the chainsaw to do some yardwork using the recommended Husqvarna pre-mixed fuel. I followed the starting instructions on my new Husqvarna with no success. I pulled the cord at least 50 times, and nothing. Finally, using my 3 hands, I was able to hold the chainsaw in place, fully pull the throttle, and pull the starter cord. It started but would not idle at all. I took it to a piece of wood, and the chains...
Worst saw I ever ran
This saw is the bane of my life. To start: I worked for a tree company for 3 years till I went to college. Know how to work a chainsaw blindfolded and ballgagged. Cue to me as a homeowner: I bought this new at Lowe’s. Because I wanted a saw with good power that didn’t take up too much space in my garage. It never ran right out of the box. Spent hours futzing with the carb to get it to run. Local small engine repair shop warranty’s it the first time. Comes back, still don’t run right. I go to Ke...

A "no" just because it doesn't start reliably.
A lot of people struggle to get these things started. After that, they also find that the idle is too low and the throttle needs to be massaged to keep the saw running even after it's warmed up. Having been through that, here's some advice: first, pass on the 435 altogether if you're still shopping. It's not a great saw, and I should have read the reviews myself. But if you have one, and you are able to get it started right out of the box, let it run without a load for a LONG time, giving it so...

It’s a “ Husk “ Alright
I bought this thing more than 5 years ago & it has yet to start, still sitting all shiny & pristine in the shed, now undoubtedly with a slick sheen of varnish in the tank, rendering it useful only as a sculpture with no aesthetic value except maybe to fans of Marcel Duchamp. The closest I ever got to an actual start were a couple of coughs and sputters, eliciting only faint hope of further functionality. Adding to the overall enjoyment was the pull start, which was the equivalent to curling a fi...
No Support
Bought Monday, used for 1.5 hrs, used Tues another hour, Wednesday another 1.5 hrs. Thursday: nothing but problems, difficult to start, wouldn't idle and if I could coax it into idling it would shut down when applying power. I go to Lowes and I am 1 day over the return period. THE RETURN PERIOD IS 48 HOURS. BEWARE. I tried every number I could find for Husqvarna, nothing but automation and texted links. I purchased this on the name alone because i didnt want to deal with this. I used 90 ...

Epic fail
I could not start this saw by myself. The first time starting, it took 2 people. One pulling the cord, one massaging the throttle, but it did start that way. I put the saw away and it started the next time I picked up. I'll add the blade was whipping when I started it. I was surprised by this and wondered how this was the case with the safety on this saw. The saw ran and cut wood but when going back a second time to use it, it failed to start again. Not only did it not start but it was le...

It is much lighter weighing chainsaw than the 455
It took a while to initially get it started and running and keep it running. I guess I’m still in the break-in stage of it. This part is a little disappointing. Thought about taking it somewhere and getting the idle adjusted. Still gonna get a little bit to break in before I do that if I have to. I am very pleased with the weight and the ease of cutting!

Great saw once you tune it.
Got one of these many years ago for a project, and it worked great. A year later it wouldn't start. I got one of the screwdrivers to adjust the carb and got on YouTube where I learned how to conservatively tune the thing. After that it has run pretty okay. My shed also has a good cordless chainsaw, which is nice for working up in the trees or got just a few quick cuts. But it can't keep pace with the speed and power of a gas saws. The 435 has been great after the tune. The best thing ...

Awful return policy for out of the box broken item
Awful, didnt work right out of the box and Lowes wont take it back because i put gas in it. No way to test their broken product without gassing it up but now lowes wants no responsibility for the return. Shameful customer service....stay away.

Look at the One-Star Reviews. Poorly engineered.
So sad I bought this saw based on the Husqvarna brand name. Out of the box, it was hard to start, despite the so-called "easy start" design. When it did start - - using premixed engineered fuel and MANY pulls - - it ran for about 5 minutes and stopped, and would never start again. I think the reviews tell the story. Go for a Stihl or an electric. I think I've had it with gas saws.
