Great casual use chainsaw. Great price. 5yr Warranty!
7 of 7 found this helpful I love my Echo CS-400!
I was looking for a solid 'homeowner' saw that could handle a decade of firewood cutting. I like commercial quality saws - for longevity. I don't clear property, but it is always tempting to 'overbuy' when looking at chainsaws! :) Some years I might cut 5 cords of wood while other years I might only pull a saw out once or twice.
All my friends and family own Husqvarna or Stihl saws for farm/commercial use.
I was looking for something affordable, but comparable to those products. I was trying to stay away from the horrible Poulan/Craftman/Homelite throw-away saws.
Prices on Stihl saws blew me out of the water. So I was holding out for a good deal on a Husqvarna like my fathers Husky 50cc saw, but my father kept encouraging me to consider the Echo line of saws. After much browsing, I found a SPECTACULAR ebay deal on a new-in-the-box Echo CS-400.
The more I looked - The more I was impressed!
- 18" roller bar
- 40cc engine with easy start system
- cartridge style air cleaner
- 5 year warranty
- Solid reputation
So I took the plunge... In the past couple months, I've used it to cut at least 3-4 cords of storm-downed hardwood behind our neighbor church. Some of these hardwood trees were easily 30+ inches in diameter at the base!
I'm not going to misrepresent this saw, the 18" bar is somewhat oversized for heavy cutting with the 40cc engine compared to my Dad's 18" bar 50cc Husqvarna. The power of this saw would be perfect sized with a 16" bar - BUT keeping the 18" bar is worth it for those 5% of cuts that actually require an 18" bar simply to get the job done. The rest of the time the extra 2" doesn't get in the way or rob power. On large cuts with the bar *buried* you need to be patient - but it will definitely get the job done without a sweat. Time is the factor. A powerful commercial Stihl saw will allow the owner to dice up large timber to make money, but the Echo CS-400 will simply chew threw it at a leisurely pace.
So... as far as I'm concerned - it is PERFECT for my needs. Starts within 3 pulls every time provided you drain the fuel after every use (BEWARE newer ethanol-mix fuels will kill any chainsaw motor if left sitting). Air cleaner stays unbelievably clean so I've got to believe Echo's claims that their 'pre-cleaner system' knocks dirt out of the air before it reaches the cleaner.
Only time will tell if this saw is as reliable as a Stihl or Husqvarna, BUT it's reputation says 'yes' and it certainly has all the commercial grade features you can imagine PLUS a 5 year warranty. If you can live with a saw that is a little down on power for LARGE diameter trees - this is the saw for you. It is truly a pleasure to use.
