content: The product arrived in perfect working order and ready to use. Very powerful and fast sawing ability for both branches and logs. A friend who has a gas chainsaw said he much preferred using my Poulan electric saw. It is well balanced and easy to use. I do not have a problem with long runs of electrical cord. The longest I have used is 50 feet, using an extension cord of #14 wire gauge. The only drawback to this product is that is does not come with a carrying/storage case. The flimsy plastic chain guard doesn't last long. Also, I don't know about the ease of obtaining a new chain when that time comes. The product seems to be perfect for my use, which is occasional trimming and cutting of branches and small trees. I don't know how it would stand up to heavy duty use, but it's a good price/performance value.
