  I have it for several years with minimal use.
  In the 5 years, it might have cut 3 tons of olives from the beginning, but it would get clogged and it would take my soul to start. Last year, I took it to a mechanic who told me it needs a carburetor, did some adjustments, took 50 euros from me, and still the same issues. This year, I will throw it away, I'm not giving any more money

  This review is about the blade length: 45 cm

  The most useless chainsaw I have ever worked with. I have had it for a year and the mechanic has had it for 8 months. I have changed 2 carburetors and now I have it for the 3rd one, and it has been at the dealership for 2 months and now they tell me I will get it in mid-April. And until now they were telling me from Friday to Friday. 4 months in other words, to change the carburetor again. If the chainsaw has cut 15 tons of wood at most. With the last carburetor, I didn't even manage to cut 2 car loads of wood. And now they are even telling me that it's the gasoline's fault. And what about the other 3 chainsaws that I have nearby, why didn't they have any issues???? From the beginning, when it's cold, it starts right up on the first try, but if you turn it off and try to start it again, you have to pray to the Virgin Mary and go begging for it to start. As for the blade and the chain, they are useless from the first cut. After just 10 minutes of cutting, especially with hard wood, it tightens and turns with difficulty. It also has excessive fuel consumption and burns a lot of gasoline and chain oil because the pump keeps turning and spilling oil even when it's idling. I have worked with chainsaws and this one was worse than a Chinese one. Now I can't understand what's happening with those who say good things about it.

  This review is about the blade length: 45 cm

  Owner of the Cs50s for less than a year. During this time, I have cut about 15m³ of wood (mostly fir and pine).

  Let's start with the negatives. It is heavy for a beginner user. Also, the air filter gets clogged quite quickly and needs frequent cleaning.

  Now onto the positives. The tool cuts perfectly for an amateur (maybe semi-professional) chainsaw. It starts easily as long as you follow the instructions and not your own instincts (like I did at the beginning). It forgives common mistakes made by beginners (incorrect chain placement, etc.). Also, since it is a subsidiary of Husqvarna, most spare parts are easy to find in the market and are of good quality. Those who have used Chinese chainsaws will understand the difference in the first use.

  I only use branded oils and a fresh gasoline/oil mixture. I clean it after each use and so far it has not let me down. Some people have complained about the blade and chain, but I have had absolutely no problems with these two so far.

  Overall, (for a 2-star rating) if I could, I would give it a sixth star. Fully satisfied!

  This review is about the blade length: 45 cm

  I am the owner of this chainsaw for 1 year, and I am completely satisfied. I use it for hobby purposes, although sometimes it can be quite demanding. Its main use is for cutting tree trunks. In terms of construction, it is sturdy and made with quality materials, and its handle is quite comfortable.
  Regarding fuel consumption, I believe that the OXYPower technology performs well, as it has slightly reduced consumption (I estimate around 20%) and lower emissions (as stated by the company, -60%), with no unpleasant odors from the exhaust gases.
  The Soft Start for starting the chainsaw is satisfactory, as the resistance of the pull cord is negligible. The automatic reset switch is quite useful, as with a pull of the blue switch, it is ready to start. As for the engine, there is a possibility of it stalling when cold, but once it reaches operating temperature, I have no issues with its idle. The idle reset at operating temperature after maximum RPM is commendable and does not hold dangerously high RPMs.
  The safety features work with great precision, and it has the right resistance to activate them.
  I noticed that the chain oil consumption may be slightly higher than expected, as there is no option to adjust it from the oil pump, but I do not condemn it for this reason.
  The air filter is easily accessible, and the CCS Air Filter System technology, along with the centrifugal force, prevents a large amount of dust from reaching the air filter.
  I use it with Shell V-Power 98 gasoline and Castrol Power 1 Racing 2T oil, as well as STIHL Forest Plus chain oil. I always try to have a fuel mixture only for the day I will use it to ensure optimal lubrication of the engine and avoid storing any unused mixture.
  In conclusion, I am completely satisfied with the chainsaw. I purchased it because of the technologies it offers, which tempted me and made it modern. The only downside is its weight after prolonged use, but other than that, I take care of it as much as I can. Time will judge my choice, but it is definitely an enticing option in the 50cc category, considering its price, for both hobby and semi-professional use.

  This review is about the blade length: 45 cm

  1. Particularly heavy.
  2. It throws the chain when it heats up, even though I changed the blade to Oregon and made sure it had oil for lubrication and that the chain was always tensioned.
  3. Many times it stalls when cutting at an angle, for example, tree trunks.
  4. The price is excellent

  This review is about the blade length: 45 cm

  Let's start with the negatives: 1) relatively heavy for prolonged use but it's understandable 2) it will need a blade change very soon because it heats up and throws off the chain, an Oregon one is pretty good 3) if it struggles for a long time, it may shut off 4) it would be more convenient to have a larger grip.... positives: 1) very good quality 2) easy start 3) good purchase price 4) low gasoline consumption

  This review is about a variation of the product

  From the first day, it would stall and shut off during wood cutting. It would start normally, rev normally, and then shut off shortly after starting to cut.
  I took it to the service center later (due to my own negligence), but it was still under warranty. They said it had a stuck piston. They insist that the fuel mixture is to blame and that it wasn't a manufacturing issue.
  I use the same fuel mixture in other two-stroke tools that I have without any problems for years. I even have a McCulloch leaf blower.
  Even if I pay for the repair (€80 with a 20% discount!!!), they don't provide a guarantee of good functionality.
  I chose to throw it away and forget about McCulloch.

  This review is about the blade length: 45 cm

  I have had it for a year and I am very satisfied. I have cut over 20 tons of olives and it hasn't given me any trouble, only the blade that I replaced in a very short period of time. The machine is very powerful and effective! I especially recommend it for those who want a machine for non-professional use and need it for cutting firewood or some logs.

  This review is about the blade length: 45 cm

  I have it for about 2 years!
  I can say that it has made me look good in everything I have cut so far.
  The only flaw so far is the fake gasoline tube inside its tank, which easily gets cut if you leave the gasoline inside while not using it.
  Other than that, two years with the same spark plug and it starts smoothly without giving you a hard time...

  This review is about the blade length: 45 cm

  I have had it for 2 years, its weight is a downside, and if you don't follow the instructions to put it in front, it won't start. However, if you take care of it, it takes care of you too. Starting it is a breeze, you press the bubble 10 times, pull the cord twice, then close the air and it works like a charm! I have cut tons of wood, oils, and spark plugs, and always clean it after each use. Its strengths are the power and the availability of service, which you can find everywhere, both in physical stores and online

  Excellent economy in use (gasoline), without vibrations, honest choice. Four Pakistanis tried to burn it and the tool survived. The only attention is that the oil container empties before the gasoline runs out and the chain dries out from oil. Honest tool. 5 stars and especially for its price.

  The tool is simply unbeatable.
  American made and your money is not wasted.
  Combine it with an Oregon .325 chain and you will be amazed.

  This review is about the blade length: 45 cm

  DEFINITELY BLADE REPLACEMENT.
  After a short period of use, the chain would come off and I couldn't figure out what was causing it. After some investigation, I found the problem: the blade was heating up to a point where it would "tighten" and block the chain. I realized this when I tried to rotate the chain by hand. Once I replaced the blade, everything worked fine. As for durability, only time will tell as it is a relatively new product.

  UPDATE:
  After replacing the blade and chain - not particularly expensive, I used it to cut logs ranging from 10-15 to about 40 centimeters thick. It works very well, but it requires full throttle and full immersion of the blade, even for smaller logs of 30 centimeters, otherwise it easily stalls and you have to restart the work. DEFINITELY A LITTLE ADJUSTMENT AND PROPER WARM-UP BEFORE USE.

  Also, something I noticed is that the "clamp" next to the chain easily gets misaligned, as well as the safety angle piece at the bottom of the chain, and you need to be careful not to let either of them touch the chain.

  However, it is powerful and doesn't seem to struggle, considering its engine size and the price. But I consider it a major FLAW that the blade needs to be replaced, which is an additional cost that you can't budget for before purchasing.

  LATEST UPDATE AFTER EXTENSIVE USE:
  It gave me a lot of trouble at the beginning due to a small adjustment needed in the carburetor's fuel supply screw, it was obviously clogging and unable to work properly. With a little tweaking (turning it right and left and testing), it works like a charm, it doesn't easily stall like before, and it doesn't lose power at low or high RPM.

  CAUTION: All of the above until I needed replacement parts!!!!

  It is VERY DIFFICULT to find replacement parts for the carburetor, and it costs about 80€ in Greece, in ONLY ONE store where I managed to find it. Comparatively, carburetors for Husqvarna cost half as much from what I've seen.

  Finally, after taking it for maintenance at a store, I pointed out the possible need for hose and fuel filter replacement, and they assured me that "it's fine." I had a problem because I went to cut logs and I encountered this issue. And for some reason, the electronic part didn't seem to be getting power, so I replaced it and it presented the same problem, and I thought that the electronics were burning for some reason. When I contacted an official Husqvarna service, the problems were resolved.

  This review is about a variation of the product

  The most wasted money I have ever spent. After countless attempts to get it started, it started smoking and then eventually died. When I tried, after praying, to make it work, the chain came off even though I had set it correctly.
  I gave it to a professional friend in this field, and he couldn't cut anything with it. It kept shutting off and despite his efforts for a long time, he couldn't get any work done.
  My next move is to go to the store where I bought it and see what I can get with the warranty money.
  Honestly, with my hand on my heart, get something else. It's a shame for the company that I thought was worth it.

  This review is about a variation of the product

  The machine is value for money, it cuts large logs easily, it has hard plastic parts, it is easy to put the chain in front, it is quite safe because the chain automatically locks as soon as you release the throttle. Now, as for its reliability, since I haven't had it for a long time, it remains to be seen. It has service centers all over Greece. Its downside is that it is a bit heavy, I wouldn't recommend it to someone who wants it exclusively for pruning, it will be tiring. However, I use it everywhere, for pruning, cutting logs, everything, and it doesn't have any vibrations

  The chainsaw is something else, incredible plastic quality, very easy start, worth more than its money, a powerful tool with U.S.A specifications, it is almost a professional tool.
