This is the first and only chainsaw I've ever owned. I bought it in 1999, I believe from Home Depot when they still sold Poulan in San Diego. I used it for clearing an easement that was heavily overgrown with sucker trees, and for lots of tree trimming and clearing of downed branches. I've run through 2 blades, so it hasn't been VERY heavily used, but for the average homeowner I can't imagine you needing anything more than this saw. For the money, it's a bargain. Definitely drain it for storage as others have mentioned. I'm currently in the process of hunting down replacement fuel line, as it has crumbled after a few years of improper storage. I had to fully dissasemble and clean the carb and the rest of the unit, but it still works (well, it did last summer so I'm sure it will still run with the new lines installed). Highly recommended.
