Good, lightweight, ergonomic, three stars because it burned the electronics twice. The dealership replaced it under warranty, I hope it doesn't happen again. I have used it a few times and not for many hours.

I have the small 25 bar and I've had it for about 12 years, it's the 260 model. I haven't had any problems all these years, but when I go to cut a thick trunk, that's where it struggles a bit. As soon as it finishes its job, I empty the gasoline in a thorough way so that none remains in the tank

This is the first gas chainsaw I am buying. I didn't want something expensive at first but also not a pruner which with the small blade would limit me in cutting larger trees. I need it for clearing the fields and pruning my walnut trees. So I ended up with this one. The problem it presented to me was the pauses in cutting. It seemed that it couldn't cut a tree that corresponds to its blade size. And it would sometimes stall just as it started. I read the reviews and removed the exhaust screen which apparently holds the machine back and doesn't give what it should. I didn't throw it away; I have it in the case. A key feature for choosing the brand was the 5-year warranty.

You get what you pay for in the end. It has excellent power for its size, very easy to use and quality. The only downside is that it starts hard when it's cold.

I have already cut 4-5 tons of olive. Compared to the unacceptable Husqvarna 236 I had, it's like night and day. It has a lot of power....it cuts through a full 40 cm bar without losing strength. It doesn't have high consumption and generally seems to be very well made. The transparent fuel tank is also a smart feature. The exhaust screen (which they put in due to emission regulations) was removed after a while and replaced for the better. It's a step above amateur tools.....Very good purchase and it also has a 5-year warranty.

Easy start really because I've suffered from all the Mac and Stil. And today I used it for olive picking, and it made me feel like a champ!

It is excellent attention to maintenance to wear only the following spark plug, ngk bpmr8y, because after maintenance and installation of a different spark plug, it burned two electronics. Fortunately, it was under warranty and fortunately the maintenance was done at a local dealership, so I was saved

Good evening, the machine is slightly better than the Chinese ones with the difference that this one constantly breaks down, it's not worth its money for any reason...

Very good machine. Basically, I chose it because of its light weight..
I read that some people remove the exhaust screen.
The screen can be removed and cleaned. We do not remove it..
It reduces the noise of the machine.
And today 8/3/26 5 stars..

The machine is a devil, it was purchased in October 2021, worked very little in 2021 and in the 2022 season with professional use, it started showing a problem. It doesn't accelerate after 2 weeks of searching for the problem, I realized that the exhaust sieve has carbon buildup, so I threw it away directly and it was better than the first day I bought it... for those who acquire it:

1. Remove the exhaust sieve and give it a few turns with the H adjustment set to the right, 1 and a half turns.

Reminder: It handles the 40cm blade like a train, cuts almond trees with a full blade, like a cheese grater

Well, I will also give my opinion. The saw is worth the money you pay and more. Coming from its predecessor 352, this saw is nothing like it. It is very lightweight to the point where you think it is a toy. It starts on the second try and cuts very satisfactorily. I put a 30-inch blade on it because I wanted it for small logs, and with the proper adjustments made to the speed, the machine has become a real powerhouse. It's worth it, get it, and most importantly, it has a 5-year warranty that I believe will never be needed.

The machine is fantastic. I had a concern due to its weight that it wouldn't have much power. As a connoisseur of the company, I trusted the name, calculating of course that it is also 2.1 horsepower, so I finally got it... The guy at echo suggested I get it with a 35 blade, which would make it even more powerful... Of course, I got it with the 35 and the machine is truly incredible, effortless and powerful.
I admit that I didn't expect it, even though I have 2 other echo machines, one relatively old and the pruning 2511.
I got this one for general use and of course, I wasn't disappointed because you can do everything with it. Very satisfied with this purchase. Made in Japan warranty.
5/5 easily.
