I once cut up a huge tree in my yard with a cheap craftsman electric. That puppy had to be 3 feet across and I will be damned if it didn't get the job done. Overall it worked as good as my Huskevarna 141 that I have now. Nice and quiet too. Still you can get a decent husky at Homo Depot for under $200 though they are definitely not in the realm of the higher priced models. I know I have had 2 of em and personally I would never buy another one again. I would buy a cheap Poulin at wallyworld and beat it to death at around $100 first. The carbs on those cheap Huskies have to be just right or they stall a lot staring cold as the choke closes immediately when you touch the trigger. You can't lock the trigger like the old ones either, another sacrafice to the foolishness of greenies and governmental regulations. They take a perfectly good device and ruin it by design. Go figure. Not easy to modify back to manual choke either, they did their job well evil bureaucrats. The cheapos with the simple primer button work so much better.
