Tools and Hardware Reviews of Poulan ES350 16-Inch 3.5 HP Electric Chain Saw
Customer Review: Works as adveritsed
Summary: 5 Stars
Saw worked great out of the box. And yes, this one at least has a chain brake and it works in about 1 nanosecond after you let go of the trigger. Oil pump worked great, too. I was able to buzz through some pretty big limbs and do some pruning with no effort whatsoever and no problems. I don't know how this would work on large trees or trying to cut down a tree and have no plans to do that. It might be a little underpowered for the tougher work. But for my needs it is perfect. And another nice feature on the saw is the bucking spikes. But check the chain after about 5 minutes or less when the saw is used for the first time--it will have to be tightened up but you can do that very easily on this saw.Customer Review: Great Value
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first chain saw I've owned, although I've used 3 or 4 over the years. I first used it to fell a 25 foot tree. The Poulan made short work of limbs up to 10 inches in diameter, cutting them through in less than 15 seconds. The motor maintained speed even when I was base cutting the trunk at ground level and the entire length of the blade was buried in the work. The chain tension adjustment is dead simple, and takes less than 1 minute using the all-in-one adjustment tool provided.
This saw is well balanced and easy to work with from a ladder or the ground. I've had no oil problems, nor does the unit does not leak when in storage. All in all, a great tool and a very low price.
Customer Review: a piece of junk
Summary: 1 Stars
it's hard for me to believe that this thing garnered so many good reviews. i read the reviews and purchased one the other day at lowe's because i had a $10 off coupon. when i took it back two days later for a faulty switch and other electronic problems, the lowe's employee said she wasn't surprised. she said it is rare when one is NOT returned. they have repeatedly asked the company not to stock them anymore but so far the pleas have fallen on deaf ears.
i usually don't review a product unless i've purchased it on amazon but since i based my purchase on the feedback here, i had to comment.
my husband said, "it's a total piece of plastic junk".

I purchased this saw to replace a 14 year old Craftsman that finally decided not to start and I am very well pleased with the Poulan. It has plenty of power and made quick work of the two trees that came down during the last storm. I used 150 feet of power cord and had no problems at all. Together with the B&D Alligator, I am now a totally electric chain saw user. Though I have only used the Poulan for a couple of days, I feel it will be a tremendous asset in the future. It is lightweight and very easy to use. A case for it would have been nice and the wrench that came with it was not the best, but the Craftsman wrench fit the Poulan so that wasn't a problem.Customer Review: Nice saw
Summary: 5 Stars
Love it. Much quieter than gas power, no fumes, no starting issues, no clutch... just plug and go. Plenty of cutting power, I cut a bunch of 6" to 8" Cedars and Junipers with wicked knots and twisty grain and had no problems. Nice and light, easy to control. My only gripe is I wish it came with a case. Obviously if your sawing situation lacks AC power then this is not the saw for you, otherwise it is great. Also, do yourself a favor and buy/use a heavy gauge (12ga to 10ga) extension cord...(it makes a difference) I would count that cost when figuring the total cost of buying an electric chain saw.
