Expesnive, but worth every penny. Everything about it says quality. Relatively easy to assemble and easy to use. Assembly and use of the body harness may be a little confusing at first, but it is an absolute necessity for increasing safety and reducing fatique. Packaging needs to be beefed up for shipping (maybe an outside box), because my packaging looked like it had been through a tornado. However, in spite of this, my unit arrive in good working condition. Highly recommend this saw... especially over the cheaper products that won't last a season.

I own a wide variety of Husquvarna equipment including 2 chainsaws, a hedge trimmer and a yard blower. When it came time to purchase a pole pruner it made sense to by the Husky model since I've always had good performance from Husquvarna products. I bought the saw new and while waiting for it to be serviced before taking it home, the tech came out and said the chain would not move on the saw for some reason. He said he wouldn't be able to sell me the saw and would have to contact Husky. This gave me a very bad feeling about it's long term reliability. At that point, I decided to buy the Echo PPT-280 instead due to its many year history of reliable service. Very happy with the Echo so far.

This has been a nice saw! It reaches and cuts great. It was $50 less on this website than others that I had found. The trees are getting trimmed around the farmplace and I really like that!
