I somewhat like this saw as it will really chew through the wood if you keep the chain sharp, and if you keep it running. I purchased it because it was value priced, compared to competitive models that may be built better and last longer. It might have made this one job at hand more reasonably cost effective, if it had not arrived broken. After the first two cuts I discovered the chain & bar oiler not working at all. This in turn resulted in the loss of half day finding out where and how to get it repaired. Another half day to take it over to nearest service center for repair, and another half day going to pick it up. Even though the warranty was good, the time lost was more valuable than the saw itself. You get what you pay for. I also don't like the fact that even though it will start right up, you cannot shut it off after it has been cutting hard and gets hot. If you keep it running when you set it down, then it will run good. If you turn it off, for service or for a break, it will not restart until it cools down enough that the gas doesn't boil and the fuel system vapor locks, approx. a half to a full hour. If you only need it for a few jobs and approach it as a throw away tool, then it's great. I will probably be much more selective when it comes to buying another saw in the future.Read full review
This is the second identical model saw I have owned. The first gave several years of good service and was still going strong when it was run over by a bush hog and destroyed. The current new model is still the best saw for my money and was at the top of my list until I ran across an add for a "like new" identical to the one I lost. The saw I received looked like brand new and is just as easy to start hot or cold as my old Poulan Pro. The 18" bar is perfect for limbs as well as the occasional large deadwood tree on our 12 acre property. It easily cuts enough free firewood to keep two wood stoves hot all winter. The large tank holds enough fuel for most of my cutting sessions without having to carry gas and oil cans with me. If it should become necessary, I would be happy to replace this saw with the same model a third time. Accidents happen, even to tools that are well cared for. I am way ahead on money vs buying the next best saw that has anti-vibration on both handles.Read full review
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
While my overall success with several items I have purchased from Empire the Polulan saw is a disappointment since it is locked up and will not function. According to the report of Empire"the unit appears to function properly", it does not.This is the second saw I have purchased from Empire and both have serious problems. It is not worth my expense to return the unit, I will hope for a merchandise credit against a replacement saw. Later additional comments on the saw issue. After a phone call--which Empire ask me by email to make to a manager, I was offered less than half my cost in a merchandise credit, which I don't feel fair. During my conversation with a rep from Empire, I was cut off and promised a return call to discuss the issue. That was more than a week ago without a call. If we are promised a return call, a person should have the professional courtesy to make that call. I'm very disappointed with this lack of consideration on the part of Empire. Empire has asked that I reconsider my low feedback. Since they are non responsive, I feel no reason to change the feedback. Should Empire respond to my request in a favorable way, the feedback could be reconsidered.Read full review

The Poulan PP4218AVX Reconditioned Chainsaw is a great bargain for those needing to cut a cord or so of firewood to keep warm over the winter. This pro version is a cut above their home models and has started and worked well for the two months is has been in use. If you have owned other Poulan saws, and you are a moderate user, then this model should provide you with several years of good service.
