Bought a real saw
This is my first real saw to own. First use fired right up. Cuts great, feels good. Cut through 12" diameter beech like a dream. This is the best i've used. I would put it up against a Stihl anyday

Happy with it
Very cold natured. Hard to start after it sits for a while. It is lightweight and easy to handle. Once it gets going it gets the job done. Jim- Texas

Great but not perfect
I just picked this saw up about 3 weeks ago and so far I am very pleased. It actually does start as easy as they advertise but warm-engine starting can be a bit tricky. Seems to me like mine starts up easier when it's cold than when it's nice and warm. Kind of opposite of what you'd think but it's not a big deal. My dealer recommended against getting an 18" bar, claiming that he has had complaints about a 40cc being under powered for 18" but I went with it anyways for that extra range. Yes, it does get a bit bogged down at times when I'm cutting with the full bar but I have no problem slowing down the little it actually happens. Otherwise, the saw has very low vibration, is lightweight and the ergonomics are flawless - plus, no one can deny that bright orange body looks so much better than Stihl grey!

Excellent chain saw
I bought this chain saw based on my fathers history with his Husqvarna. He has had his for years so I knew that they are durable. It took only minutes to cut up a fallen tree in my back yard. It was basically and fill it up and go.

I have used alot of saws in my past, I like how easy it start, and the balance of the saw. Has a great deal of power, This is a great little saw, My only issue with this saw , It was missing the Spike Bumper. The box was sealed . I called customer service, they were very nice and said they would ship the part. #9317-0003 I have not recieved this part as of yet. I am confident it will arrive. I very happy with this saw.

Great saw to have around the house
I recieved a 16" Poulan for a gift so I took it to Lowes and exchanged it for the Husky 435 after reading the Poulan reviews. Started after 3 pulls of the cord and works and runs great. I've only had the saw a few weeks but so far it's great!

Starts easy, low vibration, easy to handle
My new 435 chainsaw is an excellent replacement for my elderly (16-year old) previous chainsaw. I used it after the recent hurricane/nor'easter storms here in NJ to clean up a few blown over trees and broken branches. I was pleased with how easy it started and ran, and how comfortable it was to handle (considering i was one week into recovery from a hand surgery, the low vibration handle was really welcome). I bought it on recommendation from my son who owns one, and i would recommend it to anyone else looking for a lightweight saw to keep their treed property neat.
I also recently purchased a 150BT backpack blower to clean up the leaf-mess after the storm. My old blower was no longer worth repairing, so i purchased a factory refurbed 150 blower. Very happy with that as well - started right up, comfortable to use, and powerful - i was able to lift wet leaves that had found their way into clumps on the grass, move them into piles, and direct the piles onto the curb for township pickup. Also cleaned out leaves and debris from the bases of perimeter hedges - the blower never skipped a beat, and worked really well. I've only run two tanks of fuel mix through it, so can't evaluate durability, but if it keeps running as well for a few years, i'll be really pleased.
