Tools and Hardware Reviews of Poulan ES350 16-Inch 3.5 HP Electric Chain Saw
Customer Review: Nice saw!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought one of these on sale at Home Depot for $48. Spent a few hours cutting a fallen tree as well as cutting down a few smaller trees. It worked great, no complaints. The no tool adjustment worked great. Had no issues with kickback. Took it apart to clean and it was pretty easy as well. Lots of tools say to clean after use, but a chainsaw is one that you really should clean well - and drain the oil out. But it was simple and no problem.
Couple to things to keep in mind - it doesn't say on the box to get the chain oil, but you need to buy it. Also, unless you get a really small bottle of the chain oil, you will need a funnel too. Then you need a pretty long extension cord and because the saw draws a lot of amps, you should use a 14 or 12 gauge, not a 16 gauge. Make sure you have one handy.
If you haven't used a chainsaw before, read the instructions and be careful....
Customer Review: Poulan ES350 16 Inch Chain saw
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this saw last fall with the intention of taking down three small 4 inch wild saplings straddling a fence line. At four inches in diameter and about 20 feet tall, I knew this saw could probably handle the work load based on another Poulan product I own.
Well it went through the saplings like wildfire and then I noticed a thirty foot nine-inch diameter sweet gum tree that had lost its top in a bad nor'easter last fall so thought I give that one a try. This saw went through it like a hot knife through butter, was a big heavy tree. It took all one day to cut it up but the saw never failed.
I can't say enough about this saw. Its the best value dollar for dollar I ever spent.
It comes with an Oregon blade and chain bar so that in itself speaks loads for the quality.
Super buy.
Customer Review: Great Saw for the $

I've owned both gas and electric chain saws. With a gas saw, you can use it anyplace. Obviously gas saws do not require electricity, but the small gas engines require maintenance and don't always start. With the Poulan ES350, there is enough power with the 3.5 HP motor to drive through all but the largest of trees. This is great for dropping trees, tree branches etc. It does not bog down as my previous 14 inch Poulan did. For a little more money you get a lot more power. It is heavier than the 14 inch, but with the increased power it is safer to use since the chain does not bog down and stop when cutting down trees etc. This is ideal for the homeowner. You are tied to an electric cord and power, but it starts every time. A must have for a home owner who has trees which require trimming.Customer Review: POULAN ES350 ELECTRIC CHAIN SAW - AWESOME

I cut down a 25 ft pine tree this past weekend and this 16" chainsaw worked perfectly ! It had zero problem cutting this 14" diameter tree. Saw worked better than I had expected. Cut fast, smooth, and without incident. Triming the limbs went smooth as did the cutting of the trunk into 16" length logs. Probably ran the saw off and on for 1 hour and only used 1 tank of bar & chain oil, which is normal. Once finished cutting, I cleaned the saw up (especially behind the chain sprocket cover) just to do proper maintenance and get rid of the wood chips / sawdust. I re-adjusted / tightened the chain as it did stretch some (which is normal). I could not be happier even only after 1 hour of usage. Owners manual was helpful. I would buy this Poulan ES350 saw again tomorrow. Five stars.Customer Review: great saw
