Would Not RecommendBought first saw 8/8/2026 used once turned into warranty replacement. Received 2nd saw worked only to start at warranty depot. Didn’t start after that by Husky technician. In checking 2nd saw the serial number was different than serial numbers on the invoice. Currently waiting for 3rd saw . Received confirmation 10/12 - 3 rd saw being sent- so far product quality leaves something to be desired. The customer service is amazing except for packaging the wrong saw the second time. After I get the...
Broke first time using
Would RecommendYes, that is true. First time I started the saw it work and through out the day. Next time I could not get it started. Check for spark- good- check plug gap good- changed the VP50:1. FYI leaving fuel in the chainsaw does not go bad possibly after years. When worked that one time was it good . Why the 5 stars because the customer service. I took to Vail Equipment and Rental in Sahuarita,Az. Jim diagnosed on the spot and found the ring didn’t seat to the piston properly and ran a compression chec...

Love My Husqvarna Tools
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just bought this about a month ago to clear up down and dead trees on 10 acres property. It will be going back with me to South FL to keep there for maintaining 1.5 acres there. This is my 4th piece of Husqvarna tool, have 3 trimmers/brush cutters. I have always had excellent results with the brand. This saw is everything I wanted, starts easily, plenty of power and cuts great.

Waste of Money
Would Not RecommendThis thing is pretty awful. Bought it in February to have something on hand for storm season. Started it when I got home (using premium premix fuel) to make sure it ran. A couple months later I needed to use it for some yard work, took 20 minutes to get it started but finally did the job. A couple months later (June) I actually need it to clear a tree that fell over the road and it won't start at all. Tried for 45 minutes, checked the fuel, good spark, but it feels like there is little to n...

Excels for its size
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased to clear trees around the home and it has well exceeded expectations. No fuss, it keeps up the pace all day.

Wow. You guys sure have gone down hill.
Would Not RecommendPurchased 1 year ago. Right off the bat. Hard to start. Pull and pull and pull and it’ll finally start after pulling it for 10 minutes. Then after you finally get the p0s to start the second you use the teeth on the front to put a little leverage on the bar is stops the chain. Not to mention the fuel leak from the sight glass after 6 months of owning it. I’ve seen weed eaters that make more torque than this p0s. And 1 bolt to hold the chain? Come on. Tossed this brand new saw on the scrap pile a...

thanks
This is an excellent chainsaw. The people on here complaining about it probably have not even tried to adjust the carb or the idle screw. The 435 is the first chainsaw I have ever purchased. It runs great and is easy to handle. It has decent power for a little saw.

Great power to weight ratio
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this today and started using it right away. I had a tree to finish taking down in my yard it felt great during use and not overly heavy. I’ve always heard good things about Husqvarna so I figured I’d try one after my last saw funny quit.

Poorly designed
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had my 435e for 2 yrs now and it has been problematic since the first day. Its design is flawed due to only having 1 stud/bolt to hold the bar into its correct position without allowing the the to maintain its proper tension. I have to stop every 5 to 10 mins to readjust the chains tension.

Great saw for homeowner
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great at taking down a dead ash tree and cleaning up. Takes a bit to get warmed up and stay running but once going it does not stop.

Great Saw
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First saw I ever bought. My father swore by the Husqvarna brand. So I bought one and could not be more happy., cuts great , runs great , is fuel efficient and is quieter than the other chainsaws.
