(0)REPLACEMENT CHAIN ISSUE
By DJ G.
Arlington, Washington
Review Posted 06/08/2016
I purchased the 16" electric at Lowe's to handle some light tree limb work. I was surprised at the versatility of the saw, and am well-pleased with the unit as a whole. However, as the chain dulled, I began to look for a replacement. Returning to Lowe's, I couldn't find a Poulan chain. In fact, I couldn't find one anywhere.
I bought the Oregon 16" chain, which indicated it was a proper replacement. Sadly, it didn't fit properly. Now I'm at the point where I either have to find a chain, or replace the whole saw. Now that it's discontinued, there's little chance of the former. I rather feel as if I bought a lame horse. Most disappointing and not much of a value if I have to buy a different saw.

Broken Plastic Gear
By Lee L.
Glendive, Montana
Review Posted 08/18/2015
This was a Christmas gift from the In-Laws. I did not use it for 1 1/2 years until after the warranty expired. Then it broke after 20 minutes of use. I took it apart to discover the plastic drive gear was broken. I spent several hours searching for a replacement part and several phone calls with my local Poulan Service Representative and phone calls to Poulan's headquarters only to find out that the broken part is a "non-serviceable item" and cannot be ordered or replaced. Poulan did not care nor did they apologize. Now I have a $90 paperweight. You are taking a risk if you purchase this saw. Good Luck.

This is only the second chain saw I've had, but it is much easier to handle, adjust, and clean. I'll have to give it time and use to evaluate durability etc, but I'm sure pleased so far. That's the reason for 4, rather than 5 stars.

Gas vs Power
By James S.

Review Posted 06/15/2013
I have a distinct dislike for 2 cycle gas engines, plus the hazard of storing gasoline near the house. Most electric chainsaws sort of wimp out when it comes to cutting any limb larger than a 1 inch wooden dowel. In the add this electric Poulan appeared to have more guts than the other electrics in it's class. Wow, though it cuts slower than the gas model I then gave away it is great for keeping things under control in my yard. After limbing several 13 year old trees I would not hesitate to take either tree out if I could find a 1/2 a-- way to get the trunks and roots out. One thing I missed I was 85 in April.

When I received my new chain saw I immediately used it to cut down a small pear tree. Tree stood probably 20 feet tall. It did a great job.

Could not locate replacement chain for model 3516F
By Fred
Virginia
Review Posted 01/15/2013
Chain saw worked OK. Had a Remington 16" that lasted longer. Home Depot and Lowes do not carry replacement chains for this model. Tried 2 Oregon packs 56 (say it fits 3516 but doesn't list 3516F) and 54 after checking internet, neither fit. Put the old chain back on and motor has just died. I will not buy another Poulan because of poor support. The Company should be responsible enough to have replacement chains available at big hardware stores.

I like the saw- it is compact, has good power and it is especially lightweight, which is important to me as I have had a shoulder injury.
