Poulan 16-Inch 3.5 HP Electric Chain Saw #ES350 customer reviews:

Great saw for occasional use!
Got this saw a while back cause I knew I'd need it eventually. Hurricane Ike knocked the top off of a 17" diameter tree. Used this saw to finish falling the tree and for getting it into manageable pieces. If you don't use a saw very often gas models tend to get gummed up and/or hard to start. This beauty of an electric sat and waited until it was needed and then preformed admirably. It chops up 10-12" logs like butter. Larger diameters are possible but slower. The product description claims up to 32" logs can be cut. Do not buy this saw if you have lumber that big to cut! I'm sure it is possible but this is not the saw for jobs that big.
I've owned a few saws including an old 6" or 8" Sears electric (nice but it had a manual oiler and it was just too small), an electric Remington (Cheap Junk, noisy), a gas powered Homelite (hard to start, noisy, smoky, vibrates ), and this Poulan 16 inch electric (best saw I've ever owned, fairly quiet, powerful, large enough for some serious work, automatic oiler, etc.).
BTW order direct from Amazon for a good price and free "super saver" shipping. Sometimes other retailers come up that may not offer as good of a deal. Shop around.
perfect for the job.
This electric chain saw worked perfect for trimming the tree on our lot and other small jobs.
Impressive Performance
I purchased this saw for a 'yard' tool on my acreage, to break tree trunks and limbs down to firewood length. Delivery was prompt, the price was right, and my first impressions of the Poulan 3 1/2 hp are very favorable. The bar and chain are the same size and type as my old Homelite saw, and the weight is similar. I'm using a 25' #14ga. extension cord at present, with no sign of excessive heat in the cord. This is my first a.c. electric saw, and I'm very impressed with the torque, cutting ability, and overall utility of this unit. I'd buy it again, and although I nearly purchased the larger four hp. version, I am very satisfied with this saw. After forty plus years of chain saw usage, I've never owned and seldom needed a bar length of greater than 16". The 'light' saws have always performed and lasted well for me, and this Poulan fits my needs.
Tips: The electric motor develops full torque and horsepower the moment the switch is triggered, unlike gas-powered saw which 'ramp-up' via a centrifugal clutch, so be prepared to cut when you hit the switch, i.e. have a secure grip; I've not had problems with the cord, but I'd guess that many will trip on, cut through, or otherwise abuse the power source. Be aware of your footing at all times; The saw is much quieter than my old 'gas-guzzler', but still loud enough that hearing protection seems a wise idea; The unit doesn't seem to use much bar oil, but the chain and bar remain reasonably cool after repeated cuts through green hickory, so I'm satisfied that the automatic oiler is working well.
WOW!!!
I have used several different brands of gas powered chainsaws over the years and find this electric to be ABSOLUTELY as good as any of them. The fact of having to fight an extension cord is balanced by the fact of NOT having to fight the gas/oil mixing and the all-too-often hard starting. The ONLY disadvantage is when the electricity is out or not available like in the deep woods. For those times, I have my Stihl. I have used this Poulan electric after two disasters - Hurricane Gustav and the great snow of 2008. Both events brought medium-sized trees and really big limbs down and this thing went through everything like they were warm butter. The auto-oiler works perfectly and does NOT over-oil. The chain life has surprised me with how loooong it lasted. I would highly recommend this $67 (Amazon)chainsaw to anyone. It's not designed for the really big stuff or the long days of hard use like the big heavy duty Stihl but it is waaaaay adequate for use around our home. 5 stars!!!
Good deal
Works well. Came fully assembled. Used to cut tree trunks max 15 inches in diameter. Chewed through them nicely.
