Hitachi CS33EB

Advantages: Well put on a cold and warm.

Disadvantages: Hot does not start, weak air filter.

Comment: In short, the saw is already 8 years old, it starts up normally on a cold one, on a warm one too, but it costs her to work hard, for example 40 minutes on sawing logs until gasoline runs out, pour gasoline and start until it cools down with any tambourines. 20-30 minutes pass, cool down and start up with a half-turn.
The filter is rough, fine dust from old logs quietly flies into the carburetor and lies there with a layer of 2mm after a tank of gasoline.
And so there are no more complaints, a good saw for occasional work, for example, if you do not overheat, then it starts normally, you can cut a branch there, it is quite good to cut a plate there.

Disadvantages: Not

Comment: Great saw. Has served for 4 years. The main advantages are easy and the quality is also excellent. Especially when I took for 4 thousand, there were no analogues for such a price. Saws any logs, the main chain was sharp. For this, I bought a grinding machine, for five minutes the chain was stretched. In the beginning, too, the tensioner bolt slightly bent. But it seemed to work out right and it still works. I see no flaws. Just great saw

Advantages: 1. Easy to start without dancing with a tambourine
2. In version 2.0 it is possible to pump up gasoline with a choke.
3. Good plastic
4. Low vibrations
5. Low consumption

Total: Excellent combination of price and quality from a reputable manufacturer

Disadvantages: Low power. Everything else is great

Comment: Before buying traveled all the construction shops of the city - one trash is sold. Only this model I liked. Bought.
Sawed 2 hefty birch trees, sawed them into hemp, the chain ate a couple of times, but nothing bent, the saw works smoothly, power

Advantages: Price (5499 p.), Tire (Oregon), chain (Oregon)

Disadvantages: There is no manual fuel pump, so starting the saw for the first time from the package according to the instructions will not work. No spiked stop included.

Comment: my second saw after "Friendship" and a twenty-year break in working with such a tool. Smart designers have forgotten to install a hand pump to pump the mixture into the carburetor. Therefore, the first start of the saw from the packaging, if it was not checked in the store, should last at least half an hour - approximately as much as it took two adult men to remove the airlock from the fuel line - we just continuously pulled the starter in turn. But this later. At first, when I failed to start the saw according to the instructions, I brought it to the store. The consultant also could not start it for 10 minutes, as a result, replaced it with a new instance, which we pulled in turns for half an hour until it started up. Then, of sports interest, they tortured the previous copy, which surrendered after 20 minutes of jerks. The following launches took place, as the previous speakers wrote, from one or two jerks "to the cold."

Advantages: Price, quality, brand, the best choice for the first saw

Disadvantages: Not found

Comment: Bought in the latest configuration with an emphasis on a canvas with an asterisk. Immediately I bought another chain, as in the kit it is a break !!! As the seller said.
The chain tensioner is simple and effective. If you use it properly, there’s nothing to break. The first saw was not used before; in spite of this, it started following the instructions right away on a hot start with a half-kick. Sawed the cube two old broken fence boards, oak posts to work is a pleasure! I wanted to take the Calm 280 after working with this saw, I realized that I had not lost money and even won the money.
Something like that! I advise as the first saw for domestic needs.

Advantages: Price, easy, convenient to use.

Disadvantages: The chain tensioner is shaky

Comment: Bought for the garden - harvesting firewood, pruning branches. Tire 35 cm with an asterisk on the toe, notched support on the body of the saw (there is a complete set without the above). OREGON chain. From a box it was got from 5 times, on hot - from a half-kick. In an hour I sawed three birch trees with a diameter of 35-40 cm near my butt. Saws on one-two-three!
By the end of the work the chain had flown, without consequences. It is necessary to monitor the tension! The tensioning mechanism is a puny angular gearbox that rotates a thin screw on which a nut with a pin pulls the tire. Any of these components look like toys. Work - see!

Comment: I liked everything, started up out of the box from the fifth time, later with a half-kick. Easy to build is a pleasure. It looks like all the flaws that I read and heard, the manufacturer corrected. Well, except that rattling at low revs really is, but it doesn’t bother me much.

Advantages: easy, reliable, high nuts for fastening of the tire-face you will not tear! High speed = 12,500 rpm of chain around the tire. = (Enters the wood as an awl in warm margarine) On the plugs of the fillers pleased with the presence of cracks, for unscrewing with a screwdriver, because the fingers fold when screwed in often when you pour oil or benz.

Disadvantages: ugly manual = fine print, black and white small muddy pictures. Saw start up with the sixth jerk. But warmed up starts with the first jerk.

Comment: It is not clear to me one thing, why under the driving asterisk washer freely loose in all directions. When falling turns infuriates her jingle. Maybe this is a piece of the factory of the manufacturer ?????????? and the rest is all the way through.

Advantages: Price, reliability.

Disadvantages: power

Comment: Great saw. The plant is very easy, often with 1-2 jerks on the cold (tried to 0 degrees). On the hot start with a "half a turn." True, I always start without a choke - with a choke worse, oddly enough :) Next. I also wrote a negative review, too, managed to bend the screw, but straightened it normally later. bent - from carelessness, although the designers of course well done :))
As for reliability, the saw itself must not be killed - in America the warranty on this saw is 7 years for private use, or 2 years for commercial use !! or 1 year for rental use. Think about the lifespan of her and whether you will develop it :) (not to mention the price and the level of the saw). And the breakdowns on the small things do not frighten me - here at the husek and the calms of the cheap dacha, too, there are sores, only the repair is very expensive if you run them ...
Before that, there was a Chinese, bought because of the price - "try." In general, I did not wait until it breaks - it was stolen from the dacha before, which I am very happy about. for horseradish you start, and if not to the gas - then stalls at idle, and then you get another horseradish .. And I’m not talking about the vibration.The only thing = is a saw for the garden and construction. for felling woods she is frankly weak. even a birch 15-20 cm in diameter is already hard for her. But I liked the quality of work, I really didn’t understand it deeply, but the clockwork video doesn’t play, as it does on all thoroughbreds, and the vibration is almost not felt.

Advantages: Low price

Disadvantages: Low quality components

Comment: I bought it, I began to collect it - the instructions are miserable as well as for the gas mowers in my Hitachi CG27EJ, the pictures are small, many vague. I put the chain, began to tighten - the bolt twisted. I did everything with a screwdriver from the kit. When tensioning the chain as written in the instructions, 1 mm from the tire, the head has burst near the bolt and the gears are jammed. Passed under warranty. Took Stihl for 1500 more expensive, but the quality of parts on the level above. There are no gears in Stihl - the bolt itself moves the prong for the stretch, therefore there is nothing to put on. Why was this fencing incomprehensible.
I took it as I thought that the braid would be pleased with reliability, but it was not there.
Even inside something thundered, eliminated the clamps of the covers, just took it off, but I didn’t find it thundering, maybe some bolt ...
