Summary:
Out of the box, a saw ought to start and run pretty well at least for a year. I've been able to get this thing started twice in threee months. I've had two good Stihls in the past that ran well but buzzed my hands with vibration, so I went to the Husky for its great low vibration. There's a stump out back at 100 yards. I'll probably have to use this thing for target practice soon. This'll be my first and last Husqvarna.
Strengths:
Lots of power, good balance and low vibration.
Weaknesses:
It's very difficult to start, so the power, balance and vibration characteristics are hard to enjoy.

Summary:
Have owned this saw for a little over two years and it has done a glowing job keeping an outdoor wood boiler fed. Some scumbag broke into my garage 2 weeks ago and stole this husky I swear by. About to order a 460 with a 24" bar as I need to get some wood cut.I am still fantazising about getting back my 359 thats why the 460. Would recomend highly.
Strengths:
Nice powerful little saw - very well balanced with 20" bar will cut all day without complaint.
Weaknesses:
Hard to start at first until you learn how to start a husky. A little pricey.

Summary:
The best chain saw I have owned. I used to buy Stihls until the Stihl dealer pissed me off. This saw has been used for 3 years in a landscaping business and still runs like new.
Strengths:
Goes like a raped ape, takes a licking and keep on ticking
Weaknesses:
Compression release valve sometimes sticks in so it doesn't start. If you pop out the valve with your fingers it starts right up

Summary:
I will not purchase this brand in the future
Strengths:
good power if and when it's running
Weaknesses:
hard starting,will eventually start but will run for a few minutes and then die,seems like it's starving for fuel. I have two 359's and they both have the same problems. I got tired of messing with these saws I went out and bought a Stihl 361 pro and haven't had any problems

Summary:
Love it
Strengths:
This saw weighs only about 15 pounds with a 24" bar and chain, which makes it easy to pack all day in the woods. I use this saw every day at work (tree work and firewood) and it never craps out on me. This saw rocks.
Weaknesses:
