Husqvarna 440E (16") 40cc Consumer Gas Chainsaw

Husqvarna chain saws are a bit pricey but they are worth it! After adding fuel and gear oil, my 440E started with no issues. Compared to my older Poulan Pro 16", it is by far a better product. The chain tension adjustment is great compared to the Poulan Pro and the weight difference makes the 440E overall a superior product. I have ordered other products using Power Equipment Direct and have been very satisfied with the ordering and shipping process. Thank you Chain Saws Direct!

I have owned this saw for 1.5 years and just through it in the junk. Very hard starting and hard to keep it running. My previous Husquevarnas were great saws but the 440 is making me switch to another brand.

I own a rental property business and use this saw to clear lots, storm cleanup, and trimming. I have no complaints. I really like the chain tightener too.

We needed to clear land from unwanted trees that were in the way of a Deere tractor that we use to cut grass and keep property/meadows from growing more trees. We will have wood for our wood stove and far reaching views from back porch, thanks to Husky!

I purchased this saw as a replacement for the Poulan 3416. I have a lot with a lot of trees and wanted to thin them out. The engine on the Poulan burned out after 2 days of use. To be completely fair, I don't think it was built for that kind of service.

This Husqvarna is a significant step up. I have spent one day with it so far- cutting 6-12 inch diameter trees for 3 hours and it works very well. Compared to the Poulan, I notice that it uses far less chain oil and the chain rarely requires tensioning.

This is one area where you definitely get what you pay for and I am pleased with this saw. I look forward to future use.

The saw goes beyond my expectations.

It has been many years since I had bought my previous saw. The technology has moved on. The saw is a power machine, make no mistake about it. It cuts through 15 inch ash trunks like butter. Really!

And, it is so light. It is really hard to believe all that power in such a lightweight package. For starting - read the directions carefully, AND, it will start perfectly with a few pulls (warm or cold) - even first time out of the box. And, the no-tools chain adjuster works like magic.

I bought online because after Hurricane Sandy there were not any good saws available in coastal Connecticut. I received it on the second day after my afternoon order. Fantastic..... It was totally assembled with bar and chain installed, and away we went.

It's a great saw from a great supplier. Don't settle for a saw with a "special model number" in the big box stores. Get the real deal.

I bought this saw brand new. After 3 or 4 tanks of gas I have had to take it to a repair shop. Still waiting to get it back. Apparently the average guy cannot adjust the jets on the carb as it takes a special tool which I was told it is against the law to buy. This is the worst saw I have ever owned.

I bought this saw after reading the reviews. I don't have any knowledge of other saws to compare it to, but I really like it. I have been cutting and splitting firewood and some of the logs are 20 inches in diameter. Cuts right through them.

The only reason I didn't rate it 100% 5 stars is because when I first got it I could not get it started. Had to take it to a guy friend who is a logger. Once he got it started I haven' t had any trouble with it since.

I would definitely recommend it. I am 65 years old and can handle it just fine. Light weight enough for an old lady and rugged enough to do the job.

I have always had Stihl chainsaws, with the last one being the farm boss with a 20 bar. As I am almost 70 and the size and weight of the saw was getting harder for me to start and use safely. I don't use a saw often, but I do have the occasional blow down 12-16 inches or sizeable broken limb 10-12" and a small 60 plus tree orchard that needs periodic saw work during spring pruning. After doing some research I thought the Husqvarna 440E might meet my needs. I haven't had a chance to check durability, but it started easily, is quiet and while cleaning up some Willow trees I have been very pleased with the power and lighter weight of the saw.. I guess my saw is a newer model then the directions so I did have some frustration initially but I called the help desk and they answered all my questions. So far so good.

Beautiful saw, a real work of art, powerful, light, easy on the hands, no vibrations, quiet and clean burning. It cuts wood faster than any other saw I ever used. Looks like a lot of thought and workmanship was put into this saw, just the way it feels, the controls, and the pull starter fit and finish. I am very glad I bought it and can't wait for the next storm, almost...
