Superb valve in my book! Put it together filled with fuel 4 pumps on fuel pump and it started first pull!!! Plenty of power for my use. After using for 1/2 hour you start to feel the weight as it feels a little heavy to me, but it is robust, and does not feel cheap.
I have the einhell 1335 I thought that was a good saw but the 2040 what a saw all the power you need and with the double guard bar very controlable with minimal kick back. I've always used more expensive saws and when I had a serious breakdown I bought einhell to keep me going will never go back honest! These saws looked after will do any job that you will ask of them for an unbeatable price you won't be disappointed.
