Tools and Hardware Reviews of Poulan Pro 400E 18-Inch 4 HP Electric Chain Saw
Customer Review: 1st time user
Summary: 5 Stars
I had to cut up a wind-downed Ponderosa Pine approximately 14" diameter trunk with 6"-10" limbs. I have a Husquvarna gas saw that I was constantly repairing and as usual it wouldn't stay running when I started this project. In frustration I thought I would give an electric a try and the Poulan handled the job without a single problem. Although I have only used it this one time so far, in my opinion, for the active homeowner this saw is a perfect choice. Simple to use,more than adequate power and easy to clean. A real value. The blade cover is laughable but there are several after market choices including a $30.00 case from Poulan.Customer Review: 3rd Time's a Charm
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the 3rd chainsaw I bought and it is amazing. I had borrowed an electric Remington and it was a piece of junk. I bought an electric Ryobi and the first time I used it, the chain became undone. I exchanged it for a gas one and beside the noise and polution, it didn't cut well. After reviewing numerous chainsaws on Amazon and reading the reviews, I decided to try the Poulan Pro 400E and I am glad I did. True to what other reviewers have said, this is a GREAT chainsaw. We have a huge backyard with lots of mature trees and we have been trimming them and have cut a couple of dead ones down. This chainsaw is able to cut the longer and thicker pieces down to firewood size. The only problem I have found is after about 15 minutes of use, the cutting power isn't as it is when it is cold. Can it be overheated? The chain DOES stay nice and wet, and you can tell because you can see the oil coming off it when you start the chainsaw. Overall, I recommend the Poulan Pro 400E. Great product.Customer Review: A GREAT little saw!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great little saw and a real value at the price.
It's powerful enough for the typical yard cleanup jobs you run into, and it's clean and easy to use, since all you have to worry about is keeping the chain oil reservoir full. This is NOT a production-style saw that you can take into the woods and cut fire wood. It's a yard maintenance tool-- and a good one.
This saw more than justifies the "Best Buy" rating Consumer Reports gave it. I'm very glad I bought it, and I'd do it again.
Customer Review: A Lot of Saw for the Sawbucks
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this saw to deal with a fallen tree on my property that had smoked by previous electric saw. The price seemed right, and the reviews were mostly very positive so I went ahead and bought it the same day that the old saw went belly up. I gave the new saw a test run on the first day, and it made short work of the problem tree. It wasn't a huge tree, but it took a dozen or so cuts through a 12-14'' diameter trunk to whittle it down to manageable size. Every cut was quick and clean, and the motor seemed like it was just loafing along. This is a far more capable saw than the one it replaces, and I think I paid about $50.00 more for my previous electric. It's only a 1/2 horsepower more powerful, but it feels like much more. Can't speak for it's durability at this point, but based solely on performance it's an easy 5-stars.Customer Review: A great machine!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this a year-and-a-half ago; and it's still going strong. Follow the directions carefully. It's so nice to find a piece of machinery made by a company who pays attention to safety, quality, and longevity of their product. This is a great chainsaw. It's not a toy. Be careful.
