Pros

The upstart csc-s62 chainsaw starts awesomely. If it burps i push the choke in and crank it, and it will start. Good luck.

Echo mix/oil is some of the very best on the market (from a lubricating perspective) this is a * so you must add the proper amount of gas to the gas. This allows the rotating assembly and the top end to get adequate lubrication. Never use old question... Read More

Very good weight and balance for occasional tree cutting and trimming. While the specs seem to show only a pound or so difference, it really seems like more than that. Only downside is the thin blades but for a wider stronger blade you will want more ... Read More

Compared to their main competitor the stihl ms 250 the echo is far superior. Year warranty trumps stihls 1 and husqvarnas 2.

It seems to be made very cheaply. The 5 year warranty sounds good but for me they didn't back up the product. It boils andboils very quickly.
