Husqvarna 435 40.9-cc 2-cycle 16-in Gas Chainsaw

Great chainsaw!

Starts right up every time. Easy on gas and chain works great!

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!

I do not recommend this to anyone, nor to Lowe's

I used it for one day, and when I tried to turn it on the next day, it wouldn't turn on anymore. I tried to return it to the store for a replacement, and they told me I only had 48 hours to do so. I won't buy anything else from Lowes. I find this treatment shameful

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...

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.

After a return got a saw that works

Well the first one I bought the newest model right out of the box would not start had to return it and got the older model but same saw specs and so far no issues works fine

Will not start

Worked well on the first day. It would cut out when idling sometimes but other wise worked great. Restarted easily. Second day with the same fuel, it would not start. Spark is good, chamber has fuel but the engine will not start. I would not recommend this product.

Good chainsaw out the box its affordable and it cuts.

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...
