The only drawback is an 18 inch bar. I haven't experienced that as a limitation yet though. Starts with ease runs great. Husqvarna 450 2-Cycle Gas Powered Chain Saw (966906738).

We cut wood to heat our home in N. I have used the 450 for 4 years. Starts easy and is a champ cutting oak, maple and birch.
Very happy with it. Tough saw. Easy starts, stays running & gets the job done without the frustration of a saw that doesn't work right. Cut thru a 40' tree yesterday. Had it laid over and bucked in a an hour, hour and a half.
Didn't slow down once. As for durability I inly had it for 3 or 4 months. But It's still runs great. Think about it the saw was made in 2009, still running I'm assuming like it was brand new.
Used the brand new saw every weekend for three months to cut firewood rounds, maybe 15+ cords. Then like a light switch started to have troubles. Chain would begin stalling in middle of rounds and clutch would begin to overheat. Not a chain or bar issue, tried new of both. Husqvarna 450E 18' Gas-Powered Chain Saw (967651101).

It's quieter than the others. It starts on the first pull EVERY TIME. The trees don't know what hit them!. great chain saw. Kicks the ass off my old 'wild thing'. This has plenty of power, great handling, and really slices through the logs.
Got the chainsaw when the price dipped a little sweetening the deal. The saw is easy to crank and has at least ample power. This saw is very easy to start, operate and maintain. Has good power! Glad that I went with this one and not another that had slightly less cc's.
