Top 5. CARVER RSG 241

25 reviews from resources were taken into account: Yandex.Market, All Tools, 220Volt

Best price For a fairly budget price, you get a completely reliable, lightweight and economical chainsaw for working in the garden and for repairs.

Characteristics
Average price: 5800 rub.
Country: Russia (manufactured in China)
Power: 1300 W / 1.8 HP
Tire length: 40 cm (16”)
Warranty: 1 year

If you want to save as much as possible and need a chainsaw for your household, then the CARVER RSG 241 will be a suitable option. Of course, the quality of materials here is not the same as that of famous brands, and the motor power is only enough for sawing in the garden or small preparation of firewood. However, often a household needs just such a light and economical chainsaw, with clear and comfortable controls. The RSG 241 carver is easy to start and performs well when sawing at low temperatures. Another advantage is that the chain and bar included are quite wear-resistant, which is very rare for such a budget class.

Advantages and disadvantages

Attractive price
Easy start system
Economical fuel consumption

Low engine power
Inconvenient chain tension

Characteristics
Average price: 12990 rub.
Country: Japan (manufactured in China)
Power: 1350 W / 1.8 HP
Tire length: 40 cm (16”)
Warranty: 1 year

This lightweight, easy-to-use saw is proof that smart design can produce a tool that even a novice can use. Buyers note that even with a complete lack of experience, no more than 15 minutes pass from unpacking the saw to starting work - thanks to intuitive adjustments and well-written instructions. As for the design of the chainsaw as a whole, the build quality is excellent, there is practically no vibration. According to owner reviews, the Makita 3202 chainsaw always starts the first time and demonstrates decent performance, as well as unpretentiousness in difficult operating conditions. Power 1.8 hp not quite enough to use the standard 40 cm tire. Another disadvantage is that the stop button is too sensitive. If you hit it, the saw immediately stops. But this small drawback is fully compensated by its low weight and ease of use. This is a great option for home and garden use.

Advantages and disadvantages

Good ergonomics and weight distribution
High-quality components
High build quality

Very expensive spare parts and poor service in Russia
Not enough power for serious work

Engine capacity

Chainsaws are equipped with engines of different sizes. They can range from 25 cubic cm for amateur saws, to 120 cubic cm for professional ones. Its value affects the duration of continuous operation:

An engine up to 40cc is used for no more than two hours.
The motor, with a volume of up to 60 cubic meters, can work for up to 8 hours. It is useful for building a canopy, gazebo or other structures.
A motor with a volume of 60 to 120 cc can work continuously for 8 hours, and with short breaks - up to 16 hours a day. Models with such a motor are used by professionals when felling trees.

Power: 1800 W / 2.45 HP
Tire length: 40 cm (16”)
Warranty: 1 year

The chainsaw of the Russian brand Champion 241 is actually produced at a factory in the Middle Kingdom. However, this does not negatively affect the quality and reliability - everything here is at its best. This is both a lightweight and powerful chainsaw for home and garden use—the best in its class in this regard. It starts simply and easily, is unpretentious to the quality of gasoline, and in the first years of operation there will be no problems with adjusting the carburetor or other critical breakdowns typical of most Chinese chainsaws. As for service, the Champion company takes its warranty and post-warranty obligations responsibly, so you don’t have to worry about it. Reviews of the CHAMPION 241-16 chainsaw confirm our description. Most of all, users praise reliability and ease of control. Among the shortcomings, we can note that the chain in the standard configuration is not the best; it has a round and short blade, which makes it saw slowly and is not enough for many sharpenings.

Advantages and disadvantages

High quality build
Decent reliability for little money
Good service in Russia and the CIS

Simple chain included

In addition to chainsaws, the construction tools market offers a wide range of corded electric chainsaws. What are the advantages and disadvantages of two conceptually different types of sawing tools? We will find out from the comparison table.

Top 2. ECHO CS-353ES

Rating (2021): 4.64

172 reviews from resources were taken into account: Yandex.Market, All Tools, 220Volt

Longest warranty The warranty period for the ECHO CS-353ES can be extended to 5 years. To do this, the equipment must be registered after purchase on the official website and used only for its intended purpose.

Characteristics
Average price: 18,700 rub.
Country: Japan (manufactured in China)
Power: 1590 W / 2.16 HP
Tire length: 35 cm (14”)
Warranty: 5 years

The ECHO CS-353ES chainsaw is a lopper in the line of the Japanese manufacturer. The model turned out to be so successful and popular that it has been produced for many years. First of all, I would like to note the high reliability of this chainsaw, which increases its service life and safety margin by an order of magnitude for amateur home use. A well-thought-out filtration system will ensure uninterrupted operation and protect the mechanism from operating debris. The assembly itself is very neat, plus the vibration damping system works very well. This, by the way, is confirmed by numerous reviews in which one can see laudatory comments regarding the light weight and sufficient power. Small disadvantages are the not the most common saw chain size included and expensive spare parts. However, the price of the Echo 353 ES may seem too high to some, but this is more than offset by the high quality.

Advantages and disadvantages

Very reliable mechanism
Good reusable air filter
Effective anti-vibration system

Rare size chain included

Chain selection

The speed parameters and volume of work are greatly influenced by the steps of the saw chain, which come in the following sizes: 0.325; 3/8; 0.404 inches. This indicator is the same for everyone, but you need to have some ideas about it.

Both the pitch and the length size must correspond to the power:

0.325 inches is suitable for low-power models with low-profile chains with little vibration;
3/8 and 0.404 are designed for long-term use and large volumes of work. But to work with frozen or dirty wood, it is better to use special saw chains.

When repairing a tool, you should use spare parts from the same manufacturer.

Video review

One of the most, if not the most, popular household chainsaw, which is found in every second user. Despite its far from low price, it is in high demand due to such qualities as: light weight, ease of operation and repair, and availability of spare parts. Among its competitors, this is one of the lightest chainsaws, weighing 3.9 kg. There is no better option for cutting knots. The Shtil MC 180 really feels like home in your hands; it is a lightweight and fairly reliable chainsaw. Of course, it is not without its shortcomings. Rare complaints about the Stihl are related to poor starting. It is not always possible to start it the first time. Often the cause is the banal flooding of a candle. Another minus is the very small oil tank. Just as soon as I started working, I need to go “refuel” again. The manufacturer, apparently, did this to reduce the overall weight of the saw.

Advantages and disadvantages

Time-tested quality
Very durable mechanism
Wear-resistant chain and bar included
The best garden equipment service in Russia

Small oil tank volume

to the beginning of the rating

Gasoline saw weight

The weight of a chainsaw can range from 2.5 to 8 kg. If you have to work at heights, then it is recommended to use lighter chainsaws.

For cutting out door and window openings or preparing a log house, use medium-heavy models.

Heavier options are used by professionals when felling trees and further sawing them.

Tire length: 38 cm (15”)
Warranty: 5 years

The ECHO CS-4200ES-15″ farm chainsaw is designed for construction and firewood harvesting. Due to its high reliability, it is popular among professional timber harvesters. This model may well compete for the first positions in the ranking of semi-professional saws, but time has revealed several shortcomings. Firstly, the power and torque are not enough to fully fell trees. Secondly, for such functionality and declared characteristics the price is too high, which often repels a potential buyer. And yet, according to reviews, the Echo CS-4200ES is a very worthy Japanese-made chainsaw, with which you will not have problems with proper care.

Advantages and disadvantages

High-quality Japanese assembly
Effective anti-vibration system
Very convenient according to user reviews

Low revs and weak torque
Cost is higher than direct competitors

Tire length

This characteristic determines what diameter trunk a chainsaw can cut in one go:

Up to 40 centimeters. Suitable for simple work, such as cutting branches or preparing firewood. To cut down a tree, you will have to make several approaches.

From 40 to 45 centimeters. This model may be suitable for working with harder types of wood. With such a tool you can build a veranda, canopy, gazebo or bathhouse.

From 50 to 60 centimeters. This type of tire is used by professionals when felling trees, as it allows them to cut through a thick tree trunk in just one go.

You need to know that installing a long bar on a chainsaw that has little power will lead to its breakdown. And short tires are installed on any gasoline saws.

The most budget-friendly farm chainsaw It turns out that for little money you can buy a powerful farm chainsaw with the ability to cut the thickest trees. The main thing is not to overdo it and correctly calculate the load on the engine; after all, this is a conditional semi-pro.

Characteristics
Average price: 10990 rub.
Country: China
Power: 3300 W / 4.5 HP
Tire length: 50 cm (20”)
Warranty: 3 years

Is it possible to buy a semi-professional instrument of good quality at half the average price on the market? Owners of a powerful Daewoo chainsaw with a half-meter tire unanimously think - it’s possible! An exceptionally successful design allows this model to meet the wishes of users in all three main parameters - power, tire length and weight. On top of that, the chainsaw has been in production for several years and has been tested for reliability - many construction teams are equipped with just such a tool. Owners praise the budget price of the saw, adding that in this price segment the model has no competitors. A surprisingly good vibration damping system and high-quality assembly of the case complement the list of advantages of the tool. The disadvantages include the rather soft chain that comes with the kit, the engine’s high demands on the quality of the fuel mixture and the need for frequent cleaning of the air filter cavity.

Advantages and disadvantages

Attractive price
Long cuts up to 50 cm
Extended warranty up to 3 years upon registration

Rapid overheating under heavy load
Not the best quality plastic
Very heavy (more than 7 kg)

Power indicators

The most significant factor when choosing a particular brand of saw is power, since its performance, depth of cut and speed of action depend on this. To purchase a quality tool at the best price, you need to calculate the possible load on it in advance. So, for small garden work, a model with a power of 2 kW is quite suitable.

For construction work on your own, it is better to give preference to modern models with power ratings of 2-2.6 kW. But remember, the higher the power rating, the heavier the tool.

Principle of operation

Chainsaws are used for small garden work, building wooden structures or cutting down trees. This device is very convenient, as it is able to work in autonomous mode thanks to the use of fuel. A high-quality chainsaw rarely breaks down, and repairing it is very simple.

Work is provided by a motor. The device has tanks for oil and fuel.

The transmission of motion from the engine to the saw chain occurs using a sprocket. The chain links are located in two connecting strips. Thanks to the presence of grooves, the saw chain does not fall off.

The sawing process occurs due to the high speed of the saw chain. Typically it is around 9000 rpm. The links are equipped with protruding spikes. They cling to the tree and cut it.

There are two handles on the body of the chainsaw. They are designed to make it easier to hold the saw suspended. The first one houses the trigger mechanism and the blocking mechanism against accidental starting. The engine is started using the starter mechanism.

Engine operating time ranges from 2 to 16 hours.

Most models are equipped with a system that can urgently stop the chain, if necessary.

The tension of the chain is carried out due to its movement in special guide grooves. The chain is secured using a clamping screw or bolt.

The presence of a screw makes it possible to adjust the chain on the saw in a matter of seconds and continue cutting.

The best professional chainsaws

The most important difference between a professional tool is the possibility of long-term continuous operation and a long service life of the main components and mechanisms. Added to this is increased power, allowing you to work with hardwood and a particularly attentive attitude of the consumer to user comfort: an improved vibration damping system, proper weight distribution, easy adjustment and ease of maintenance. Indeed, ergonomics becomes especially important when the operator has to work a full shift - even a not very comfortable grip can significantly reduce productivity. This category contains only the most popular chainsaw models among professionals, which have been produced for many years and have an excellent reputation.

The best power density Stihl engineers have developed one of the most successful professional chainsaws with an ideal balance of motor power and the weight of the unit itself. Shtil 361 is most valued by professionals precisely for this parameter.

Characteristics
Average price: RUB 49,990
Country: Germany
Power: 3400 W / 4.6 HP
Tire length: 45 cm (18”)
Warranty: 2 years

This is perhaps the best chainsaw for professional loggers. The most accurate characteristic for Stihl MS 361 is “indestructible”. With the most merciless daily use in any season, it will last for many years. You just need to adhere to the operating rules (properly dilute fuel, etc.) and change consumables (chain, sprocket, filter) as necessary. A distinctive feature is the best power density - that is, the sawing performance is higher, and it is easier to work due to the relatively low weight. This is especially important if you have to cut all day. Such a successful design of the Stihl MS 361 chainsaw has remained unchanged for more than 15 years, however, it has several modifications, including the updated but more expensive MS 362 model.

Advantages and disadvantages

Extremely reliable and indestructible mechanism
Best in class performance

The best chainsaws for felling trees

This category contains the most powerful, reliable tools for professional logging. Their prices, of course, differ greatly and greatly exceed the cost of even professional universal-type models. And besides the price, with an increase in the effective length of the bar and engine power, the weight of the saw inevitably increases. Of course, manufacturers of such tools try to ensure good weight distribution, dampen vibration and improve ergonomics as much as possible. But still, not everyone can handle the full weight of such a saw - the equipped tool weighs about 10 kg. But even one and a half meter trunks are not a problem for any of these models, and their service life is ten years or more.

Emergency brake

The presence of an emergency chain stop device allows you to turn off the chainsaw if it jams.

The choice of chainsaws is quite varied. You should start from the purpose for which it is needed. The cost of a chainsaw for a summer house is about 5-7 thousand rubles. A construction saw costs about 20 thousand rubles, and professional models cost 35-60 thousand rubles.

Average price: RUB 74,990
Country: Italy
Power: 4400 W /6.0 HP
Tire length: 50 cm (30”)
Warranty: 4 years

In order for the tool, equipped with a 6 hp engine and a 76 cm long tire, to serve for a long time and work in any, even the most difficult conditions, many successful engineering solutions were used in the design of this chainsaw. Firstly, all important components and parts are made of high-strength materials: the crankcase is made of magnesium alloy, the crankshaft is made of forged steel, and a special coating of the cylinder increases its service life. Secondly, a decompression valve and a special filtration system make starting easier and reduce the load on the engine. Experts recommend using this chainsaw specifically for heavy, voluminous work: felling large trees and bucking them. An electronic system for controlling and maintaining engine speed allows you to consistently cope with even the hardest wood, and proper weight distribution prevents the operator from getting tired. Users praise the successful automatic chain lubrication system and the convenient change of the air filter.

Advantages and disadvantages

Three-piece forged crankshaft
Piston with two rings
Magnesium crankcase

You can only buy on the official website
Poorly developed service base

Startup procedure

Algorithm of actions when starting the saw

Apply the handbrake by pressing the protective shield with your hand until it clicks.
Press the decompression valve, if provided in the model. This will make it easier to start the engine.
By pressing the gas buttons and the gas stopper on the handle, simultaneously move the mode control lever to the lower position.
Place the saw on a flat surface.
With your left hand, grasp the tubular handle, with your right hand, the starter handle. Insert the toe of your foot into the slot in the rear handle and press the saw to the surface with your body weight.
Smoothly pull the starter cable out by the handle until it stops. Then forcefully pull the starter handle up several times while pushing against the tubular handle.
Do not pull the cable out to its full length - risk of explosion!
The engine will run for a short time and stop. Move the throttle by moving the mode lever up to the next detent.
Repeat step 6. If the engine turns on, you need to briefly press the gas control lever. This is necessary to ensure that the combination lever is locked in the idle position.
Release the brake by pulling the handle towards you until it clicks. The unit is ready for use.
To check the lubrication system, hold the saw over something light (snow, paper, cut of wood) and turn on the maximum gas. If the system is working properly, traces of oil stains will be visible.

Characteristics
Average price: RUB 71,490
Country: Germany
Power: 5200 W / 7.1 HP
Tire length: 50 cm (20”)
Warranty: 2 years

Having deprived the semi-professional class of elongated tires, the developers from Shtil decided to make up for lost time in the segment of professional chainsaws - in the MS 660 model, the length is as much as 90 centimeters. But the positive dynamics in this component sharply worsened other indicators - the saw became heavier and, more importantly, more expensive than its competitors. In this situation, models from other manufacturers would be preferable... if not for a good resource. Users who have managed to purchase and test the Stihl MS 660 for a long time unanimously declare the high quality of the product.

Advantages and disadvantages

Excellent for cutting hard wood
Ergonomics at the level (if you do not take into account the weight)
High quality basic elements

High price
Some inconvenience when using - due to weight (7.3 kg without saw set)
