The Poulan Pro 16-inch 38 cc anti-vibration chainsaw features a 16-inch bar, allowing a cutting capacity of 32 inches in diameter. Its anti-vibration system isolates the engine from the chassis, reducing vibration and improving comfort and safety; further safety measures are ensured by the inertia-activated chain brake, which stops rotation of the chain should kickback occur. The auto oiling system lubricates the bar and chain continually during use. This unit come fully assembled and includes a 1-year warranty.

 This thing cuts like the tree is butter! October 28, 2008

Got it for my husband for Christmas last year. He has had numerous chain saws over the last 25 years. This is is his favorite. He was amazed at ease of cut. His comment is in the title "This thing cuts like the tree is butter". And yes, he went and cut down stuff that did not need it just because the saw is so sweet.

Disclaimer: This is the 1st chainsaw I've ever purchased and used at any length. My first introduction to chainsaws was rocky, to say the least, so I was hesitant to even buy one. However, a recent move to 2 heavily wooded acres pretty much necessitated a chainsaw.
I've used this saw for about 5 months now and I've probably felled 20 trees. I'm still using the original bar but I have purchased 2 additional chains. Probably against all better judgment I haven't sharpened any of my 3 chains to date and I still have one chain that hasn't been used. My most recent use really showed that I need a sharper chain.
Anyway, to get to the performance, this chainsaw has been great. It seems to use lots of chain oil, but that's to be expected I think. The gas use is within reason for sure because I've only used 1.5 gallons so far and that's with regular use. The largest tree I've taken down by myself was probably 3 feet in diameter. The 16" bar was obviously not long enough for such a monster tree but if you take it slow and cut from both sides it's manageable.
Overall, my $136 purchase has been recouped many times over. The saw is light, easy to maneuver, and seems safe (as much as a chainsaw can be I guess). I haven't had any close calls yet (knock on wood) and I feel comfortable using it. The brake mechanism seems forceful and the rotating chain comes to a complete stop measured in tenths of second. The kickback protection is a nice addition and while I haven't seen it in use, thank goodness, the idea and function behind it seems like it would work a charm. Highly recommended. I'm sure that there are more professional and longer lasting options out there, but then again I don't have any plans to use this saw more than is necessary. Once I get my lot in shape I plan to clean the saw back to as new condition and hold it in the shed for a long time to come. After taking down some large trees I've contemplated the idea that maybe an 18" bar would have been more the sensible choice, but ultimately I always realize that the 16" has been more than adequate and it seems like the shorter length makes it more of a joy to use, not to mention safer.
Great tool! September 12, 2008

Granted this is the first chainsaw I have owned, but it's the best I have ever used.
I bought this for the purpose of cutting wood while camping.
The saw is compact and doesn't take up much space. It's light weight making it easy to carry. It starts easily and runs smooth. The anti-vibration really does make a difference.
A couple of things to keep in mind. You will need to fill it with bar oil before you can use it. The saw comes with 2-cycle engine oil to mix with the gas, but you will have get your own bar oil. The oil that is included also contains a fuel stabilizer so you can store your saw without having to drain the fuel, or purchase separate fuel stabilizer.
This does not come with a carrying case, but you can pick one up for around $30.
Overall a great product.

This is my first gas powered chain saw. The Poulon is fantastic. No kick back, no vibration, very smooth operation. Has a lot of safety features. Cuts through trees like butter. The only thing is that when you first use it, you have to re-adjust the chain tension, but this is what you would have to do with any new chain. The chain tension adjustment wheel makes this easy to do. Since this is my first gas chain saw, I don't have experience with others; however, it sure does use the bar and chain oil. Then again, I was cutting so many dead trees and branches that had accumulated in the woods on our property that I needed to refill the oil. I had to buy the carrying case separately. Would have been nice if they included it since I believe it is a necessary accessory. I would highly recommend this product.
