Summary: Bad redesign
Comment: I used to have Poulan Pro 16" chain saw. It worked great for the time I owned it (2 years probably)until someone stole it.
After Thanksgiving, I bought a brand new 16 " chain saw, Poulan Pro,same model, MADE IN CHINA, at Northern Tools. However, this is a redesigned one with new style: the power switch and Choke located side by side. On the old style, the choke level is under the handle.
Over all, the material and workmanship looked cheap. The box(container) was cheap too, with thin plastic and sharp edges.I accepted, because the price was cheap too: 99.99 in compare with 149.99 I bought 2 years ago.

I filled with (mixed) fresh gas, chain bar oil, and tried to start the equipment. The pulls were very rough... After 1/2 hour of trying finally the engine ran for 1 minute and stop. Then, it died even I had tried to start it many times. I undertanded it may eventually be flooded but this is definitely badly re-designed with very cheap material, bad workmanship. (The Poulan Pro I had before: the pulls were very smooth, and the machine started righ after a few easy pulls).
I return this chain saw and never by any Poulan machines anymore.

Summary: Poulan Chain Saw
Comment: Easy to start, vibration damping works well, easy to adjust chain tightening, only minor problem is flimsy choke that wouldn't stay choked.

Summary: This thing cuts like the tree is butter!
Comment: Got it for my husband for Christmas last year. He has had numerous chain saws over the last 25 years. This is is his favorite. He was amazed at ease of cut. His comment is in the title "This thing cuts like the tree is butter". And yes, he went and cut down stuff that did not need it just because the saw is so sweet.

Summary: Good Purchase
Comment: Disclaimer: This is the 1st chainsaw I've ever purchased and used at any length. My first introduction to chainsaws was rocky, to say the least, so I was hesitant to even buy one. However, a recent move to 2 heavily wooded acres pretty much necessitated a chainsaw.

I've used this saw for about 5 months now and I've probably felled 20 trees. I'm still using the original bar but I have purchased 2 additional chains. Probably against all better judgment I haven't sharpened any of my 3 chains to date and I still have one chain that hasn't been used. My most recent use really showed that I need a sharper chain.

Anyway, to get to the performance, this chainsaw has been great. It seems to use lots of chain oil, but that's to be expected I think. The gas use is within reason for sure because I've only used 1.5 gallons so far and that's with regular use. The largest tree I've taken down by myself was probably 3 feet in diameter. The 16" bar was obviously not long enough for such a monster tree but if you take it slow and cut from both sides it's manageable.

Overall, my $136 purchase has been recouped many times over. The saw is light, easy to maneuver, and seems safe (as much as a chainsaw can be I guess). I haven't had any close calls yet (knock on wood) and I feel comfortable using it. The brake mechanism seems forceful and the rotating chain comes to a complete stop measured in tenths of second. The kickback protection is a nice addition and while I haven't seen it in use, thank goodness, the idea and function behind it seems like it would work a charm. Highly recommended. I'm sure that there are more professional and longer lasting options out there, but then again I don't have any plans to use this saw more than is necessary. Once I get my lot in shape I plan to clean the saw back to as new condition and hold it in the shed for a long time to come. After taking down some large trees I've contemplated the idea that maybe an 18" bar would have been more the sensible choice, but ultimately I always realize that the 16" has been more than adequate and it seems like the shorter length makes it more of a joy to use, not to mention safer.
