I really am able to control this saw, as opposed to the gas engined one I purchased previously. It is balanced and light enough I can control where the cord is, where I am, and concentrate on what I am trying to accomplish!!
Small, light, workhorse

I had a huge hedge... 8-10 feet high, 4-6 feet across and about 40 yards long. It was out of control and growing higher and wider each day. This little electric chain saw I chose has greatly assisted in my endeavors to get that hedge down to 4 ft high so I can keep it there. The saw was plenty powerful enough, yet light enough for an old man to hold it and do the job. It would occasionally get hung up on the thick brush and the chain would come off, but it was easy to get to the two bolts to loosen the chain and put it back on. Being electric made the saw also easy to maintain as I did not have to worry about gas and oil, nor did I have to pull and groan to get it started.
Works as advertised

This little chain saw did exactly what I needed. I used it to trim tree limbs up to about 3-4 inches in diameter, and then to cut them up for disposal in my yard waste bin. It was easy to use and light enough to use for extended periods and above my head without fatigue.
does the job

I have a 20-year-old, 20", 2-cycle gas-powered Poulan, a real nice saw! I love it.

I recently used an electric Craftsman similar to this Poulan I'm reviewing. I loved it also. I worked it hard. It was easy to use, and felt very secure. I took down and cut-up a big pine tree (40+ years) with it, and accomplished the task more easily than a bigger saw would have. So, I have no complaints about the 16-inch Craftsman (from Sears, not K-Mart).

Having some heavy work to do, I came home intending to buy a Craftsman. However, reviews complained about nylon drive gears stripping. I got cold feet. I found the Poulan and hoped it was more sturdy than Craftsman. I paid just a bit more for it. (I haven't taken either one apart, so I can't speak of any impressions I have of relative fabrication quality.)

I expected to get a very similar saw as the Craftsman. I didn't, other than size and maybe power. (The Craftsman, 16-inch, was 'bigger'.) Craftsman had an auto-oiler. Poulan requires periodic, manual, push-button oiling. Not difficult, you just have to think to do it-- just like with my gas saw. Craftsman has a very clever, user-friendly, cam-actuated chain adjustment. Poulan has the same mechanism as my gas saw. Thus, Craftsman has more whistles-and-bells. Me? I don't care. I can cope with older styling. I want a sturdy machine.

Prior experience (20 years ago) with electric saws had me expecting to be disappointed in cutting power and speed. With neither electric saw did I regret not having gas power. Each cut with the ease I expected. The advantages? (1) Check oil, chain/bar tension, plug it in, and go. (2) As opposed to adding to the list/mess: mix oil and gas, fill tank, set choke, pull cord, tweak, pull again....

The clincher: After taking down the big pine tree, I was whipped. Tired to the bone. Had I been doing the job with a saw that was bigger and heavier, required frequent pull starts, and simply was more physically demanding , I might not have gotten the job done within the day. Besides, I didn't relish the idea of being even more tired.

At this point, I have worked my Poulan as much as I worked the Craftsman. Both are still going strong.

Electric saws can do all I want to do in almost all cases, and they do it with less effort. There is less kick-back risk, due to more modern design or whatever. Both things considered: THEY ARE MUCH SAFER TO USE!!! than bigger, heavier machines. (Machismos: I know experienced sawyers who have hurt themselves, very badly, with big, powerful saws.)

I like my choices: (1) To buy an electric chain saw, and (2) To buy this particular one. Craftsman vs. Poulan? Time will tell.
