I have the exact same Chinese saw and paid just under one hundred for it. I've had it a little over 1 year now. I've worked the hell out of it and even by accident dropped it out of a tree around 60-65 feet up and hit the ground . It did no damage to it and fired right up. I have no complaints about it. And would recommend it for a good dependable cheap saw.

I have lots of chainsaws (Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo, Podoy). I am very happy with the little Podoy 26cc top handle chainsaw that I got off of Amazon. So far it has performed every bit as good as the Echo, maybe better. Plus it has a two bolt bar which I like better, all the other top handle saws I saw only had one including my Echo. They are all good saws and I am happy with all of them, but I especially like the price of the Podoy saw and that has made me over the top happy. Thanks for doing a review on it, I ran out and bought one after seeing it last year.

@jbbolts Жыл бұрын

I got the same saw... the 2 bolt version ...farmertec has what appears to be the same saw with 1 bolt the joncutter 2500.. I havent used it much but it seems pretty solid I even dropped it out of a tree 30 feet and it held up and ran fine after the fall... no damage just the handle was out of place and the air cleaner cover was a bit off... just snapped back in place and it's running fine so far. How is yours holding up so far? Ive just used it a handful of times but so far it has exceeded my expectations especially for the price.

I've had a echo handheld blower for about 15 years. It gets used HARD and several times each week. I've never cleaned the air filter or checked the spark plug. It never fails. I also have an echo power pruner pole saw that is bulletproof. Just bought the 271T yesterday. I expect it to be just as good. Echo is quality stuff and the chinese knock offs will never last as long. The carbs will clog faster and they probably have no adjustment and you can't get kits for them if you need it. Parts support will be non existent.

Update to this comment my info was not accurate it was Info on Amazon. I purchased the generic “chainsaw” fully assembled it weighs 8.3 lbs. it runs great has a lot of power and starts without issue. I am upgrading mine to a 14 inch bar but over all it’s so far been great for my property doing clean up and even cut some firewood with it. One of the main reasons I want the echo 2511T it weighs 5.2 lbs and from what I am reading on Amazon the clone “chainsaw” weighs 9.95 lbs nearly double that’s a huge difference. Why buy a 26 cc saw if it’s going to weigh as much as my 45 cc saw? Just thought I would point this out for those whom may not be thinking it through or those looking for a light weight saw they can lug around all day and not be tired out from using a heavy load. Plus those whom climb probably would prefer a lightweight saw. TY for doing a review on the 2 saws performance, had the clone weighed the same I would be buying it.

I scored a echo cs 355t from a customer who couldn't pay his Bill. Sold it for 150. Im a backwoods half-wit.I've never really had to own a chainsaw. I would kill somebody in front of their own Mama to have it back. I'm gonna probably buy a rice Burner on eBay cuz I have a need for one now & .......kick myself in the lips!

Those Chinese arborist saws are actually unreal for the price however I’m sceptical of the longevity of the saw and from what I’m hearing, parts are hard to get when they fail. Your echo sounds a little boggy in my opinion. Tweak that carb and test again. Thanks for the comparison.

The parts are the exact same as the original models, so it's as simple as buying echo parts, stihl or husqvarna and putting them on the saw. Same exact stuff.

I have a 59cc Stihl ms311 with 20 " bar and a 52cc Chinese chainsaw with 20" bar. $500 vs $100. If I had to do it over I'd buy 5 Chinese chainsaws. My only gripe about the Chinese chainsaw is the chains are not as well built as Stihl or Oregon chains.

Cheap ones you buy 3 instead of one echo. If you drop it fron the top of the tree all will be busted. With cheap ones you get 3 engines 3 blade bars and chains instead of one. I'll bet you make much more with those instead of one. We use these cheapies in roof tops and buildings. They drops, get stolen etc. No broblem. None of them wear out in use. Only spark plugs snd starting cords and chains as expensive ones.

The Echo model you have is not as light as their tree monkey saw that they strap to their belt and trim the limbs off with while in the tree. I have one as well as the other small one you have. Echos are hard to beat. They are the only people giving 5-year warranties on their saws so long as they are not used commercially which reduces the warranty to 1 year. I can't hold anything against purchasing a cheap Chinese knock off if you only need it for light work. I am considering a large knock off for some storm lay downs at my farm.

Your chain is so tight im surprised it turns. When you let off throttle the chain screams to a stop. The chain should move freely around the bar. IF you let off the trigger and the chain stops instantly your way WAY WAY to tight. This Will cause wear and strain on your motor. This will put strain on your bar and chain and ROB of you of performance. Its mind blowing to me that 99% of folks who run power saws TIGHTEN the chain up WAY WAY to much. Funny to me BOTH saws acted the same way like you OVER tightened them both. The chain needs to have the Slack removed and Thats IT. A new chain will Stretch out some YES. But that is insanely to tight.
