Lightweight, efficient and manageable through the small guide (25cm). Start-up is easy and little noisy machine. All plastic fittings are fragile and changing channels is a bit difficult. The manual is very brief. I use it for 9 months and the main criticism I can do is the poor quality of the plastic casing. For the price, I think we can not find better as the quality of cut is very effective, either for wood already on the ground or pruning. I cut the wood of different species with diameters from 3 cm to 15 cm without any problems. For larger cuts, you have to go to a "real" much bigger renowned brand of chainsaw, but also much more expensive.
