Your chain links bound after 3 hours
3 hours of cutting. Been cutting for 31 years and haven't seen a chain bind that quickly out of the box. Saw is great. I'm not paying for a new chain. Not going to return the entire saw for a chain. Please send me a new chain immediately. Pathetic.

Ready to take down
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband actually picked this chainsaw out. The minute he got home he was elated with the whole machine--the weight, the power and the design. He used to run his own business falling trees and it's been a few years since he's had a job requiring a chainsaw.

Made the switch and couldn’t be happier
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a die hard STIHL user!!!! This year I was helping a friend cut some downed trees after the storms went through. My ms291 against his rancher. WOW!!! I felt like so never cut wood before. I know there’s a long time debate on who has the best saws but if your in the market and have friends with different brands give the Husqavarna a try it truly won’t disappoint you. I love my new 455 Rancher
