Chinese chainsaws: how to choose the best model [reviews]

A lightweight, productive and easy-to-use chainsaw is part of the household tool set of many private and farm households. Its scope of application includes sawing fuel wood, crowning ornamental and fruit trees, and constructing wooden log and timber buildings.

The operational capabilities of powerful models are expanded through the use of special attachments. In this embodiment, the saw with the saw set removed serves as a drive for removable metalworking, grinding, drilling, pumping and winch equipment.

A set of a saw and several easily removable attachments can replace several household tools, the total cost of which is much higher. A productive removable ice auger can provide significant assistance in aerating a stocked reservoir; a winch attachment will help pull out a car stuck off-road.

Self-selection criteria

The proposed chainsaw range consists of 3 main categories.

In the first option, these are expensive, productive and durable models from leading European manufacturers.
The second group includes relatively inexpensive chainsaws with more modest operating capabilities and a shorter service life.
The remaining significant portion of chainsaw imports consists of budget chainsaw products of Chinese origin.

On the domestic market of household appliances, Chinese saws of different power categories are represented by a fairly wide selection. For the most part, the best models of Chinese chainsaws are tools that, with varying degrees of success, copy products from leading European manufacturers.

In Russia and the CIS countries, original China is represented by several models of chainsaws, which, in their parameters and price range, meet basic consumer requirements.

Is it worth buying a fake?

You can buy a Chinese counterfeit only in cases where a chainsaw is needed for several days or if the consumer is confident that he will get a “lucky ticket” and his purchase, assembled in an unknown way and from an unknown source, will serve him without fail for many years. In all other cases, such a purchase will cause a constant headache due to constant settings, regular malfunctions, unexpected breakdowns and too short service life.

The branded Shtil chainsaw, made in China, is suitable for those consumers who buy this tool for a household user. Well, real German Stihl is the choice of professionals involved in logging or wooden house construction.

Measures to improve quality characteristics

In the process of modernization carried out by Chinese manufacturers of chainsaw equipment, new materials and technologies are involved.

In particular, due to the chrome plating of the cylinder mirror and the application of wear-resistant coatings to the parts of the crank mechanism, the service life of the power units is increased.
The use of more advanced carburetors and air intake filters made it possible to stabilize the traction characteristics of power units when operating under difficult conditions of variable loads.
When developing the body, new industrial design technologies were used, and systems for easy engine starting and emergency stop were improved.

Chinese chainsaws produced by state-owned enterprises are of higher quality. This is facilitated by modern equipment, which has allowed us to bring our products to a new quality level.

How to choose a saw and what to look for?

When choosing a saw from Chinese manufacturers, first of all look at these technical parameters:

Engine's type . Electric or petrol? The first is less noisy, environmentally friendly, the electric saw is lighter in weight, but has less power and depends on the network connection. A gasoline saw is powerful, fast, suitable for working with a large number of materials, but it emits harmful exhaust gases and is quite massive.
Purpose and power . For small garden needs, an engine with a power of up to 1.7 kW is suitable; for construction or regular work on felling trees, it is better to take models with a power of 2 kW or more.
Weight . Again, you need to consider how often you will use the tool. Calculate your strength; you should not take a device that will make you tired quickly.
Cooling . The presence of an air filter is mandatory so that the engine does not fail and is not subject to wear.
Anti-vibration system . Not relevant for electric models, but important for gasoline ones, so that the tool does not vibrate too much during operation. Most often these are special rubber inserts and steel springs.

Advantages of Chinese-made chainsaws

In addition to the moderate cost, the advantages of the Chinese chainsaw range include:

a large selection of affordable spare parts and consumables;
the possibility of purchasing a high-power household saw;
unification of many spare parts, facilitating the prompt commissioning of faulty tools.

The disadvantages so far include:

poor supply of spare parts and consumables;
in some cases, service specialists practice replacing faulty branded parts with short-lived counterfeit parts;
The quality of cord starters, vibration damper spring elements, budget tires and saw chains leaves much to be desired.

Practice has proven that with proper maintenance and proper operation, a relatively cheap Chinese-assembled chainsaw will completely exhaust its designated service life. Overhaul of a worn-out tool costs almost the same as the cost of a new chainsaw, therefore it is carried out only within the framework of the warranty.

Rating of reliable and high-quality chainsaws for various tasks

In both household and professional tools, users value good performance, fuel efficiency, and ergonomics of use. And although the service life of engines of “older” models will always exceed that of the “entry level” line, operating conditions level out this difference, leaving the bottom line quality and reliability.

When evaluating models, the following criteria should be considered:

Reliability : engine service life, frequency of breakdowns, uninterrupted operation of important components - clutches, sprockets, chain lubrication systems
Ease of use : grip, weight distribution, presence of mechanisms and devices that reduce vibration
Service: maintainability, availability of original or interchangeable spare parts on the market.

What kind of saw do you use?
HouseholdSemi-professional

The issue of price is quite specific: on the one hand, a situation is possible when an inexpensive product demonstrates excellent performance on the indicated points. On the other hand, there is no need to expect miracles: excellent results are achieved by the development and implementation of advanced technologies and the use of advanced materials. And this, in turn, affects the final cost of the product. A good saw cannot be cheap - it seems like the slogan of cunning marketers, but here it is not only a trick, but also a harsh pattern of production and commodity-money relations in the modern world.

However, this does not mean that there are no good examples among inexpensive instruments. Choosing the best from the worst is even more difficult, and this is what hundreds of users of gasoline units face.

European models made in China

All Chinese-made chainsaws differ from their European branded counterparts at an affordable price, but the technical and especially operational properties of budget-level developments do not fully comply with the requirements of European standards.

Household and professional chainsaw equipment, which is produced in China at specialized enterprises of European companies, is of high quality.

Despite the widespread use of Chinese components, the quality of products from the brands Oleo-Mac, MTD, Efco and a number of others is maintained at the proper level. Let's look at the main technical characteristics of popular Chinese models.

Second place in the rating – chainsaw brand CARVER PROMO PSG-45-15

In order to make the right choice, you need to consider several models. If we are talking about the popularity rating, then the second place in it is occupied by the model from. This is also due to the affordable cost, which is 3,800 rubles. The equipment is a tool that does an excellent job of sawing wood and trimming branches. The unit is intended for work on personal and garden plots.

The Quick Start system ensures easy engine starting. The operator does not need to use any additional tools to access the air filter. The design has an anti-vibration system that makes work comfortable. The chainsaw has a chain brake, which provides a high level of safety.

FORTE FGS 45-45

The powerful 2.4 kilowatt engine of this tool with a displacement of 45.5 cm3 allows you to take advantage of productive saw bars up to 45 cm in length. The long bar allows single-pass felling and sawing of trees with a diameter of up to 400 mm.

The advantages of this model include a large reserve of torque of the power unit, effective operation of the vibration damper, and the ability to work from any position.

Semi-professional models

When you have to start a saw more than a few times a year, the choice falls on farm models - they have the optimal ratio of weight, power and service life.

Husqvarna 440e

Power 1800 W / 2.4 l. With.
Tire length 35 cm.
Chain pitch 0.325 inches.

Weight 4.4 kg.
Price 20,500 rub.

This unit occupies an intermediate position between household and semi-professional devices. This is a reliable and decent solution with moderate power at the price of a good household model. It is possible to install the tire at 35 and 40 cm - the motor copes well with both. Of particular note is the proprietary Swedish anti-vibration mechanism with springs and rubber dampers - this allows you to saw with greater comfort. The engine, although demanding on fuel, will repay with uninterrupted operation.

Pros:

Smooth and powerful engine operation.
Centrifugal air filtration.
Light weight for the semi-pro class.
Good keyless chain tensioner mechanism.

Minuses:

Oil leaking from the tank.
To get started, you need to “dance with a tambourine.”

Oleo-Mac 965 HD-18

Power 3200 W / 4.3 l. With.
Tire length 46 cm.
Chain pitch 3/8".

Weight 5.8 kg.
Price 32 - 35 t.r.

Now this is a serious unit. This is evidenced not only by the power of the “adult” engine, but also by such a pleasant “lotion” as a decompression valve. Thanks to it, the force on the starting cable is reduced, and starting the saw becomes much easier. The not too heavy weight and medium-length tire makes the saw an indispensable assistant not only when working with trees, but also on construction sites, especially if you need to cut round timber. Although the saw is Italian, it has a real masculine character, right down to the side effects: strong kickback when starting a warm engine.

Pros:

High engine power
Decompressor for easy starting
Magnesium alloy body
Adjustable oil pump

Minuses:

Recoil during warm start
Lack of inspection windows in tanks
Inconvenient location of the chain tensioner

STIHL MS 361-16

Power 3400 W / 4.6 l. With.
Tire length 40 cm.
Chain pitch 3/8".

Weight 5.6 kg.
Price 40 t.r.

The legend of semi-professional saws. It is so good that many people use it as a shaft and do not know grief. However, a 40 cm tire still indicates its intermediate purpose. Although it is used as a lopper in many brigades and even passes from hand to hand among shift workers. In private use, people write in reviews about ten to thirteen years of experience without breakdowns. Of course, consumables and spark plugs are changed, but the engine is working properly, even if it knocks loudly, as before.

The winner in the category “long-lived saw” - the model will be released without changes for more than 10 years by 2022.

Pros:

Reliability leading to reliability
Power
The design of the saw does not change over time, which speaks of perfection

Minuses:

Stalls when snow gets under the cover
Demanding on oil and gasoline
High price

The unit is equipped with a Japanese Walbro carburetor, which increases the durability of the product. The model costs from 2.7 thousand rubles. Rostec BP-52 Professional. You can buy it for 1.85 thousand rubles, although the unit is equipped with a powerful (3 kW) motor and can be used for felling timber and for construction work. Is different:

a body made of impact-resistant plastic;
quick start;
ease of use;
availability of hand protection;
internal chrome plating of cylinders;
ability to work in different positions.

GoodLuck, positioned by the manufacturer as professional. Chainsaw:

The advantages of this unit:

modern industrial design of the case;
the shape of the handles promotes a secure grip;
increased reliability of loaded components and systems;
economical consumption of fuel mixture;
improved design of the security system;
increased volume of filling tanks compared to household models.

The best professional gasoline devices

This category includes those devices that are used in logging. They have multiple reserves of power and reliability. In private hands, they have a place if a person is fanatically devoted to the idea of chainsaw units.

Makita DCS7301-60

Power 4200 W.
Tire length 60 cm.
Chain pitch 3/8".

Weight 6.3 kg.
Price 32 t.r.

What is attractive about this saw is the price. With professional execution, despite the fact that the assembly is German, and many spare parts bear the Dolmar mark (for those who don’t know, this is a company that, along with Shtil, stood at the origins of hand chainsaws, but now does not produce ready-made solutions). Competitors with more aggressive marketing cost twice as much. Logs 75 cm thick unravel in two passes without any difficulty.

Pros:

Power.
Price for professional unit.
Cutting accuracy.

Minuses:

A bit heavy.
High fuel and oil consumption.

Husqvarna 395XP

Power 5200 W / 7.1 l. With.
Weight 8.1 kg.

Price 62 t.r.
Chain pitch 3/8".

It’s not for nothing that the tire length is not listed in the specifications. As in a real tool for work of the highest class, tires and chain are installed depending on the circumstances. However, with an engine power of 7 peppy “horses”, it seems a shame to put less than 70 cm on this monster. With this unit you will no longer be able to saw off knots and will not be able to work at heights. The unit is a shafting and sawing machine, and it cuts logs crosswise, like a housewife cutting sausage with a sharp knife. A must have for lumberjacks.

Pros:

True power.
The ability to saw and fell large trunks in one pass.
Long continuous operation time.

Minuses:

Price.
High consumption of liquids.
Expensive components.

STIHL MS 880

Power 6400 W / 8.7 l. With.
Tire length 120 cm.
Chain pitch 0.404 inches.

Weight 10 kg.
Price 110 t.r.

The seat of the champion of today's review can also accommodate 75- and 90-cm tires, but the size of 120 cm still inspires respect. You can talk as much as you like about the fact that you can’t turn around in a real forest with a meter-long tire - manufacturer number 1 simply had to make such a unit, if only for reasons of prestige. Pay attention to the asterisk - it is designed for an “adult” felling step. There are also stories that if such a saw is run over by a skidder, then you can pick it up and continue working, or that 10 people working in shifts will get tired before it does.

Pros:

The largest production saw
Motorcycle power
Anti-vibration

Minuses:

Price
Weight
Deafness when working without headphones

Chainsaw BP-52 Proffesional

Taking into account the requirements and recommendations of users, Chinese manufacturers have developed a Rostec professional saw, model BP-52 Proffesional, that is modern in technical and operational characteristics.

Characteristic features of this tool:

carburetor drive power increased to 3 kW;
two piston compression rings;
adjustable performance of the oil pump of the lubrication system;
reduction in tool weight due to the widespread use of shockproof, moisture-freeze-resistant plastic.

Zuzako editors' recommendations for choosing and operating a chainsaw from China

If you are interested in buying a high-quality chainsaw that will easily cope with the tasks, you should carefully study its technical characteristics and features.

Namely:

Tire size. It is responsible for guiding and lubricating the chain. Its size determines how thick an object the tool can saw through. For household needs, a saw with a 30-40 cm bar is quite suitable, but for felling large trees you will have to look for a more serious device - with a bar larger than 50 cm.

Chain pitch. Indicates the distance between adjacent teeth. The performance of the tool depends on it. For trimming small branches, 0.375″ is enough, for preparing firewood, at least 0.325″ is required, but for logging and construction you need to arm yourself with a device with a chain pitch of 0.404″.

Weight. Depends on the power of the motor and the purpose of the tool. To trim branches, take a light saw up to 3.5 kg, and to prepare firewood, give preference to a device weighing 4–5 kg. Professional devices can even weigh more than 5 kg.

Tank capacity. Simple household chainsaws are most often designed for a maximum of 4 hours of active use. Such models do not require a large amount of fuel, so they are equipped with small tanks of up to 0.5 liters. Professional units can operate continuously for 12 hours and consume a lot of gasoline. That is why they are equipped with spacious gas tanks from 1 liter.

Engine size and power. The more powerful the saw, the higher its performance and longer life. But do not forget that along with the power, the weight of the tool also increases.

Starter type. Modern Chinese saws use two types of starters: regular, with one spring, and ergostart. The second type is easier to maintain and start.

Useful functionality

When choosing a new chainsaw, be sure to pay attention to the presence of a chain brake. This is what prevents injury during a kickback.

A primer can make starting a cold engine much easier. No less useful will be the anti-vibration system, which facilitates the process of using the saw, reducing the load on your hands.

The body and handle of the tool must be made of durable plastic. You should be wary of abrasions and fading of the material. The same goes for metal parts - the presence of poorly processed seams is proof that you are looking at a low-quality product. Be sure to check the quality of the connections: all elements must fit tightly to each other.

Well, for those who have already acquired a new tool, we have prepared some useful tips on using a saw from China. Namely:

When installing a new bar or chain, run the device for a couple of minutes without load. This will help the chainsaw to be evenly lubricated.
The tire sprocket needs additional lubrication. It has a separate hole for this purpose. So don't forget to fill it with oil using a syringe.
Do not use regular machine oil to maintain your chainsaw. Special compounds designed specifically for such tools have high lubricating and anti-corrosion properties. Unlike automobile oils, they burn completely and do not contain impurities that can contaminate the carburetor.
To increase tire life, turn it over periodically.

Taking all these recommendations into account, you can significantly extend the life of your Chinese saw.

Champion brand chainsaws

For a buyer with limited financial resources, the model range of the Chinese brand Champion may be of interest. In just 10 years, the number of positive reviews for all models has increased several times.

Champion chainsaws cannot compete with similar products from European brands. On the other hand, for the full mechanization of household work related to wood processing, a tool costing 5-6 thousand can be the optimal solution.
An analysis of failures and malfunctions showed that a significant share of them is due to illiterate operation by users and savings on the quality of consumables.

In domestic construction markets, the sale of Champion chainsaws, independently assembled by home-grown craftsmen using low-quality components, cannot be ruled out.

The above fully applies to Chinese-assembled Patriot and Huter chainsaws. These affordable models do not impress with the perfection of their design, unique performance and durability of the resource, however, over the past years they have been in stable demand.

Chainsaws Partner 340S, 350S

Based on the reviews of the owners, these devices have proven themselves well. Their advantage can be considered a much lower price compared to the leaders in the rating - saws from the Stihl brand. At the time of writing, the younger model, Partner 340S, could be purchased for about 7,500 thousand rubles, the older, 350S, was two thousand rubles more expensive. However, it is still significantly cheaper than any of the Shtils, even on sale.

The differences between the Partners 340S and 350S are slightly different engine designs and fuel systems (practically do not affect user characteristics), different tire lengths (45 and 40 centimeters, it’s better to take a short one - it’s easier for the motor and the sawyer, the chains are cheaper, and it’s easier to cut Almost any tree can be used).

A significant drawback of any Partner is a very strong vibration. Owners have reported this repeatedly. Even the user manual does not hide the flaw. For occasional short starts, it may not be critical, but in the case of more or less long-term work, the joints of the hands will suffer significantly.

In addition, Partner is not liked by service repairmen. The reason is the extensive use of self-tapping screws as fasteners. It is clear that the mounting locations suffer during assembly and disassembly, and against the background of increased vibration, everything looks even worse.

Announcement:

At the same time, Partner devices, in particular the Partner 340S model, can to some extent be recommended for purchase. Let's summarize:

Advantages of Partner 340S, Partner 350S chainsaws:

Disadvantages of Partner 340S, Partner 350S chainsaws:

Strong vibration;
Less resource compared to Shtili (cylinders and pistons are enough for about 100 cubic meters of firewood. In operating scenarios with low load, this disadvantage can be neglected);
The presence of self-tapping screws in the design;
“Pickiness” to the quality of gasoline and oil (true in almost all cases);
Significant probability of failure, failure even in gentle mode of use.

Be careful - counterfeit!

A separate category consists of not always successful copies of branded chainsaws, which are sold on the market at a lower cost. A significant part of the fakes are popular models from famous European brands Shtil and Husqvarna.

The quality of such tools does not compensate for their low cost; there are no guarantees for free repairs, so the demand for such products is consistently low.

Based on a number of characteristic features, it is not difficult to distinguish an original from a fake. However, in order to eliminate all the risks of purchasing a counterfeit chainsaw, it is better to buy the tool in a company store or sales office of a licensed dealer company.

Prerequisites for stability of demand

An unofficial consumer rating of household chainsaws showed that the level of confidence in the Chinese range has increased significantly in recent years.

The reason for this phenomenon is most likely the problematic economy and the limited financial capabilities of a large number of potential owners.

On the other hand, one cannot ignore the noticeable improvement in quality characteristics. One way or another, the demand for new chainsaws supplied from China remains stable to this day.

Conclusion

Shtil 660 is a very powerful saw that is designed to work in difficult conditions. The original chainsaw is quite expensive. The Chinese analogue is much cheaper, but its characteristics and quality are much lower. If you do become the owner of a fake, then you shouldn’t throw it away right away, because it can also be useful, for example, for preparing firewood for a barbecue or cleaning the perimeter of a dacha.

We invite you to watch a video about a Chinese counterfeit purchased for several thousand rubles. This is a real example of the lengths to which sellers of illegal products go to ensure that you become the owner of a low-quality chainsaw.

Malfunctions of Chinese chainsaws

The high maintainability of Chinese chainsaws and the availability of affordable spare parts allows many users to refuse expensive maintenance services. If you have certain skills, current repairs, elimination of possible failures and malfunctions are carried out by the owners themselves.

Typical malfunctions of Chinese budget-class chainsaws are failures of electronic ignition units, oil pumps of the lubrication system, loosening of threaded fasteners due to poor assembly, premature failure of tires and saw chains.

The low information content of the operating instructions is compensated by access to technical documentation on service and repair sites and the use of recommendations received on Internet forums.
The information obtained eliminates the problems of independently adjusting the carburetor and choosing removable sawing equipment. The information field presents effective algorithms for searching for characteristic failures and methods for their prompt elimination.

Chainsaw Echo CS-353ES-14

An excellent option for household use from a company originally from Japan. Costing almost 13 thousand rubles, it is a fairly expensive purchase, which, however, will certainly please its owner

In this case, it is important not to run into a fake. There are user reports where the same person bought two different saws from the same manufacturer and they worked completely differently

The reports are isolated, so whether such facts can be trusted is an open question.

Advantages of Echo CS-353ES-14 chainsaws:

High engine power compared to competitors. Allows you to process wood with less chance of tire getting stuck.
Hassle-free setup. As a rule, it is ready to work right out of the box; cases when preliminary adjustment is required are very rare.
Low fuel and oil consumption;
A very easy start, at least compared to many others;
Prevalence of spare parts, both originals and analogues;
High maintainability;

Disadvantages of Echo CS-353ES-14:

Difficult to control fuel and oil levels;
The likelihood of running into a fake or defective;
Relatively high price: just recently they cost 8 thousand rubles, now the cost has exceeded 13. This is true for many, which has risen in price following exchange rate fluctuations.
There are not many owners who are completely disappointed in the model, but they exist and they are noticeable against the background of those who are satisfied.

Owner reviews

The first 2.5 horsepower Champion 240 with a 16-inch tire served faithfully for a little over 4 years. Possibly, the low quality of fuel and cheap motor oils had an impact. There is reason to believe that an inexpensive machine has worked out its value twice as much. I have been using the new saw of the same brand, model 254, for only 8 months, so it is too early to talk about its advantages and disadvantages. During this time, I took it to the service center 2 times to replace the starter and oil pump. The repair was recognized as under warranty, so I only had to spend money on the road. Roman Vladislavovich

From a professional point of view, one cannot fail to note the improvement in the reliability and performance characteristics of Chinese chainsaws of the Champion model range. A 2.5 kW tool purchased for trimming thick branches copes well with felling trees with a diameter of 300 mm or more. Minor failures and malfunctions characteristic of a new tool are eliminated as work progresses. It is quite natural that the Champion model 254-18 is inferior to the expensive Shtils and Husqvarnas in terms of operating comfort; this disadvantage is compensated by the moderate cost of consumables. Fedor Nikolaevich

Expert opinion

Dmitry V.

CHAMPION 241-16 1800 W/2.45 HP

Experience of use: several months Advantages: Price, weight, ease of use. Disadvantages: Not identified, because there is nothing to compare with. Comment: At first I wanted to buy some kind of calm, like 180 from the ad, used of course. I didn’t want to spend about 10K on something that I would rarely use. I monitored the advertisements for a long time in the hope that I would come across a decent option for a reasonable amount, but the saws there were all rolled, you couldn’t look at them without tears. In the end, I decided to take this inexpensive option, because... There is a s/c in my city. After using it, I realized that this model suits me with everything. It’s perfect for cutting logs into firewood in the village! Well, you can cut down some kind of tree on the site. In general, I recommend it.

Nikolay Mezenov

CHAMPION 241-16 1800 W/2.45 HP

Experience of use: several months Advantages: Very good ergonomics, reliable start-up, operating mode for cold weather (there is a switch with a clear, tight fixation, tested at minus 25), the air filter can be serviced (many brand saws require replacement), very detailed instructions (for for those who write negative things without reading it, this is especially true), bright color (it won’t get lost in the forest
