What Customers Are Saying
The Husqvarna chainsaw is reported to be powerful and lightweight, able to easily cut through large trees.

The most common complaint was that the saw was very hard to start, even when following instructions carefully. Some users were disappointed and said they would not purchase the saw again.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.husvarna won't honor warranty.
I purchased this chainsaw and the fuel to get the extended warranty. On top of the power box, extra chain, and oil. The chainsaw wouldn't stay running or it was running too hot. I took it to a local Husqvarna service center since I don't live that close to Lowe's. They said the carburetor is bad due to bad gas. IT'S HUSVARNA BRAND PREMIX. THEY WON'T HONOR A WARRANTY FOR BAD GAS EVEN IF THEY SOLD IT TO YOU. Returning it all to lowe's and buying a Stihl.

Lack of power
Purchased 11-02-25, was not used until 11-08-25. First experience is lack of power and it bogs down. Went back to Lowe’s and was refused refund even though I was prepared to purchase the Husqvarna 455. I was told no exchanges or refunds after 48 hours, I was not advised of that at time of purchase. Needless to say I will not be shopping at Lowe’s in the future. Which a pity due to the fact we are remodeling our home.

Doesn't work

It's a good thing that I came home when I did!
I did not like that it was left by my mailbox on the ground next to the road 150 feet from my house where any passerby could have taken it! I don't know who could not see a house with a porch to put a package upon.
