What Customers Are Saying
The chainsaw appears to be a powerful and reliable tool for most users, with praise for its excellent cutting ability, ease of starting, and overall quality. Many customers highlight the saw's impressive power and ability to quickly cut through large logs and hardwood. However, some users have experienced issues with starting, the chain, and durability of certain components. While the saw may not be suitable for professional or heavy-duty use, it seems well-suited for homeowner and light-duty tasks.

Would RecommendEasy-to-use easy to start

Great size and power.
Would RecommendExcellent chain saw, large bar, and strong engine. This chain saw is better then the Stihl MS 250 chain saw I bought then returned twice. This chain saw has a 20" bar which is long enough to tackle most tree cutting jobs and the engine has a good amount of power. It also starts relatively easily. I recommend this chain saw. I bought it for hurricane clean up and it worked great.

Husqvarna will not stand behind product
Would Not RecommendI purchased this saw from Lowes. The first time I used it it failed. I only used it for about 30 minutes. It then stopped running. Took it back to Lowes and I was just outside of their exchange period. I was then told that it had to be sent in for repair. Husqvarna refused the repair and claimed that it was ran without oil/lubrication. This was completely false. I used Husqvarna 2cycle oil mixed with one gallon of gas, just like the bottle says. It was the same gas I used in our smaller ...

Its a pretty decent chain saw
Would RecommendIt works well but I feel like we are going through the chain entirely too fast. We had about 2 small-medium ish pine trees to cut and a large one. After starting on the second tree we already needed a new chain. So far I have bought 3 chains not including the one that it came with. It could be operator error of course but it just seems a little odd. The rest of it seems easy to take care of and use.

Lot of hype, but junk saw
Would Not RecommendI cut wood to use for heat. I live on a lit of acreage so I have plenty of trees to choose from. Purchased this saw from Lowes with extended warranty. First saw lasted less the one year, returned it and was replaced no issues. Second saw lasted three years. (Now out of warranty) Took it in to a husky repair shop and they told me it was shot and that this is a huge problem with the husky. They said it can be repaired but would cost about the same as buying a new saw. I used husky fuel, and hus...

Do not buy a chainsaw from Lowe’s
Would Not RecommendLowe’s failed to cover a 3 year warranty that I purchased, the chain on the saw pops off all the time, it’s made out of plastic and the parts crumble.

⚠️ warning urge you not to buy
Would Not RecommendI've had this chain saw for about 9 months. I've used it 2 times the second time the chain came off. I have bought 2 new chains and a new bar, and it will not hold the chain I've had 2 different people look at it and they have no idea so all that being said I have 600$ in a paper weight. I'll never buy another husqvarna again.

Very Good Saw
Would RecommendAfter owning a Stihl 290 Farm Boss for over 22 years, it was time for a new saw. This 450 Rancher has really been a good one. I've read reviews complaining about the chain coming off. I tighten the lone nut as tight as I can and have never had a problem. This saw goes through 20" oak logs like a hot knife through butter.
