What Customers Are Saying
The Husqvarna chainsaw appears to have mixed reviews. Many customers found it powerful and effective at cutting through large trees and branches, describing it as "wonderful", "great", and "one of the best". However, a significant number of customers reported major issues, including difficulty starting, frequent stalling, and complete failure to run. While some were satisfied after getting the chainsaw to work properly, the negative experiences seem to outweigh the positive ones, suggesting a substantial risk of receiving a defective or unreliable unit.

I bought the saw and got it home looking forward to cutting some wood for the snow storm and it worked once and stopped and won't run anymore.. Very dissatisfied.
Pull cord knot too small.Had to rewrap immediately
Great saw. Put it to work right away taking some trees down around the backyard.

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.
Lindy, we are saddened to hear that you are experiencing any issues with your 440 chainsaw. We want to apologize for the inconvenience. We would love...
