Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this chainsaw for powerful performance, reliable starting on the first or second pull, and effective cutting through thick branches and fallen trees. Many highlight impressive balance and reduced fatigue during extended use. However, a notable group reports persistent chain retention issues, with chains popping off during operation and requiring frequent adjustments or replacements. Additionally, several customers express frustration with warranty support and return policies, describing unhelpful service redirects and restrictive timeframes. Despite these drawbacks, most consider the core cutting performance strong enough to recommend.

Would RecommendI've been waiting for this chainsaw to arrive and couldn't wait, once it did, to give it a tryout. First, the shipping was a bit odd as the chainsaw came fully assembled with the guard and chain exposed, although they were protected with a hard plastic guard. I'm thankful for the delivery notifications since the box is a dead giveaway for what's inside. Our neighborhood is safe, but I still wouldn't have wanted this to sit on my front porch for very long. The instructions are very detailed, m...
self destructed on day two.
Would Not RecommendChain popped of on day two and broke the bracket that holds the chain drive cover. It's now unusable after only cutting plywood.
Crap. Do not Buy Husqvarna Chainsaws
Would Not RecommendThis was the first chainsaw I bought from Husqvarna. I got about ten cuts in and the chain started falling off the sprocket (not the bar, the sprocket that powers the saw). I bought another Husqvarna saw and it did the same thing. Husqvarna responds to these so people think they care, but you call the number and get redirected to the website, which then redirects you to a map to find a warranty servicer. Those servicers just tell you the warranty doesn't cover it and you're out whatever you paid...

Not Recommended
Would Not RecommendI purchased the saw, put oil and gas in it and checked the chain. With in 10 minutes the chain jumped track. No problem, I went to put the chain back on and found the chain guides would no longer fit in the bar. After closer inspection found the guides were damaged. Ok, might have been my fault I might have over look something, so I went back to Lowes and brought another chain. I put the new chain on and made sure all the guides would slide in the bar channel and it did. Ensured the chain ...

The weight is just right
Would RecommendI like everything about this saw
Great buy
Would RecommendI'm truly happy with this saw, I bought a gallon of the Husqvarna pre mixed gas for the extra 3 years of warranty. Started right up after filling it up from new. Cut a 5 foot stump up. Started 1st pull after warmed up.
Solid Chainsaw
Would RecommendRecently had several large trees removed and needed a chainsaw for cleanup and firewood cutting. Researched several different brands of chainsaws before making my purchase. I have other Husqvarna equipment and have never been disappointed with quality or performance. Reasonable price. Highly recommend.
Works well for the price
Would RecommendWorks well, my second one

Great saw
Would RecommendLove this saw. It's easy to start if you follow the directions and it cuts through walnut like butter. I've only used this one day, but cut up about 8 walnut trees. Great saw. Cold start, warm start, doesn't matter.
