Summary:
These saws are always sold NIB on ebay (where I bought mine) and you can snag one for $160-$180. You will never find a better saw for that price. If you buy at the local Home Depot (usually $260-ish) you might want to pony up the extra $50-60 bucks for the 440.

Strengths:
Lots of power for the engine size. Lightweight and starts like it wants to run 100 mph. I cut oak and cherry logs 12-20 inches in diameter and it rips right through them with a sharp chain.

Weaknesses:
Floods easily if you aren't careful with the purge bulb. I've never needed to prime the carb with the exception of the first time I put gas in it. Just pull the choke and you're ready to go.

Summary:
So far I am very happy with this saw. I paid $265.00 at Home depot. I didn't want to buy on-line for fear of a 'used' or damaged unit. I suppose you could find it cheaper, but I wanted to be sure it was brand new. It set up in mimutes and started immediately. This is a pretty powerfull saw for a homeowner and maybe more than what is needed for trimming. I'm hopefull I'll get many years of use out of this saw.

Strengths:
Very Powerful. Very easy starting and great features- the easy access air filter and the adjustable automatic oiler are terrific. I also like the low cost of new chains and air filter. I cut 5 to 6 cords a year and my old Stihl is on its last legs. This Echo was over $150 less than a comparable Stihl. I went with the Echo since I have been happy with other Echo products that have been very dependable.

Weaknesses:
So far I have had no problems. However, I have only used the saw less than five hours.

Summary:
With carb adjustment a excellent saw

Strengths:
It's a nice well built saw with good power.

Weaknesses:
Carb needs to be reset from the factory to get full power, cuts times went from 13 seconds to 8 second with a simple carb adjustment, was extremly lean from the factory

Summary:
This saw rocks, I did some timed cuts agianst my Stihl MS170 The Echo took 5 seconds and the Stihl took 11 seconds side by side, the Stihl is 5 cc's less but is a real dog compared to the CS370

Strengths:
Built good, excelent power, priced right, handles nice

Weaknesses:
None

Summary:
Not worth it because you have to pull your arm out a hundred times to start the thing.

Strengths:
Durable

Weaknesses:
REALLY hard to start

Summary:
For $269, you can't find a better saw.

Strengths:
Great power. Light weight. Good balance Always starts and starts easy. Impressive air filter. Very reliable. Parts availability excellent and parts are cheap.

Weaknesses:
None so far.

Summary:
quiet,lightwieght,and decent power

Strengths:
have owned echo saws since 1976 NEVER had a failure, the best saw out there for the money

Weaknesses:
NONE

Summary:
i will always use echo saws,why change a good thing ?

Strengths:
low cost,starts easy ,has about 5 hrs on saw, except for minor carb adjustment by dealer,the saw has been flawless

Weaknesses:
none

Summary:
Great saw, even better compared to my brothers Stihl saw.

Strengths:
The CS-370 is a great saw for the price. I purchased it at Home Depot, Avon MA 12-29-10. It's a real plus to go from a 16" to 18" with the same saw. Easy start and lighter than my Craftsmen 18". Highly recommended. It was great for clearly some down trees we had downed from the last storm.

Weaknesses:
None found so far.

Summary:
Great reliable saw for the money.

Strengths:
Great value, durable, starts easy, readily available parts, runs strong, MADE IN USA!

Weaknesses:
None so far, free hard case would be nice though.

Summary:
I am very pleased with my purchase, and expect to continue as a loyal Echo customer. Their products just seem to work well right from the start. I'm three good ones out of three, so I can only share with you my experiences. The difference in price paid for good equipment is well worth it.

Strengths:
Out of the box, started on the third pull. Initial set up was excellent, the bar was tight, and adjusted. I may need to adj. the carb once broken in, but this unit was ready to go from day one. I have two other Echo products, and I expect that this saw will be just as good as they are. Plenty of powerful for just about anything I would ever need.

Weaknesses:
None so far. This saw is a little pricy at $269.00, but a 10% off coupon from Lowes came in handy, and saved me a bit, and paid the sales tax.

Summary:
Glad I've finally found smotehing I agree with!
