What Customers Are Saying

The Husqvarna chainsaw is described as a powerful and capable tool that can quickly cut through wood. Many customers praise its performance and reliability, with some reporting it has lasted them for years.

The reviews suggest the saw's quality and durability are mixed, and buyers should be prepared to potentially deal with problems that may require warranty service or replacement.

bought 2 and both broke

Would Not Recommend

I bought 2 of these saws and both of them broke after a day of use. I even had to go to Winston-Salem to get the second one and it broke the same day

The new 450 design is flimsy .

Would Not Recommend

I returned it because it is fragile, the upper cover is held in place with flimsy plastic clips now rather than the steel screws traditionally used, the bar has only one single retaining screw rather than the twin steel bar retaining studs traditionally used. My old Rancher 50 was built in 1983 & I was going to replace it as after 40 years parts are getting harder to buy for it. How long until the plastic top cover clips are obsoleted & no longer available? I located a good used Rancher 455 whic...

Poor assembly from the manufacture.

The chain was installed backwards straight out of the box. Very frustrating to purchases an expensive piece of equipment and it not be ready to use straight out of the box.

Always an issue

Would Not Recommend

I've had this chainsaw for about 11 months now and it is in the shop for repairs 20% of the time. It always seems to have an issue when I need to use it and it is extremely frustrating that it does not work when I need it. I had a cheap BlueMax saw for 5 years that worked great until the motor burned up. The Husqvarna can't even make it a year and cost twice as much.

Husqvarna equals Quality saw

Would Recommend

Powerful enough to cut through large limbs. Chain stays sharp for hours of cutting. Case purchased separately protects the saw but is a bit difficult to open and close.

The Husqvarna 450 Rancher good saw

Would Recommend

I purchased the Husqvarna 450 Rancher a few days ago, the only problems I had was with the chain brake. What ever you do DO NOT take the side clutch cover off with the chain brake engaged!!! If you don’t the cover will not go back on. If this happens , take the bar and chain I completely off then slide the cover on and move the chain brake handle back and forth til you feel the tension machinism fall in position, bolt the cover down then pull back on Chain brake handle to disengage, it has been ...
