Husqvarna 235e

Poor quality, shoddy parts, unreliable. Would not buy another one, After light use, the brake has failed twice. Feel ripped off and disappointed. Would not recommend to anyone.

i bought the husky to replace my old aging echo saw and looks and feels ok but thats were it ends the first time i used it the recoil starter fell to pieces so back it went now its done about two hours work it refuses to start the saw is harder work than using a good old fashioned bow saw and im now back to using my old echo which atleast starts well even thou its falling apart and about to buy a good old stihl

After 2 trips to the shop, this POS is next to impossible to start, no make that impossible to start.

fresh gas, fuel saver, cleaned spark plugs etc.

I cannot believe anyone has one of these that actually work and Husqvarna should give everyone their money back.

worked a 235 today pure pile of junk,hard to start no power,got my old 30 year husky 61 3 pulls it started worked all day,these American assembled huskys are like repros of the real thing,also have a solo 656 great saw,

Had this for about four years and the only issue was the carb get gummed up from the ethonol in the gas cost $20 at dealer to fix and I run high test now for 3 yars with no problems. Original plug still in it. GREAT SAW

Owned the Husk 235e for about 8 months. Like other folks with the same start/hot engine problem --- once started and after running hot for about 10 minutes and you stop it. You can't get it started again until it is totally cold. This is not convenient when you have a block of time set aside to do a job and it takes 6X times longer to complete! Because it was purchased online from an out-of-state dealer (to try to save a couple of bucks), the local dealers want to charge a shop fee to make any/all adjustments. They have told me (local dealers) that there had been prtoblems with the carb adjustment. "" It's just not worth it."" At the same time of this purchase --- I went to one of the Box Stores and purchased a Homelite 14"saw (made in china item) and this thing runs with NO problems. Just goes to show ya --- Brand Name items aren't anygood and not worth it! The 235e is total JUNK!!!

I bought a Husqvarna 235e because I needed a small chainsaw around the property. Out of the box it would not stay running for more than 5 minutes. Once the engine was warm it would not start. Took it to an authorized dealer and was charged for a carbuetor adjustment. Used it to trim limbs and cut down a few trees. It stops running after about 15 minutes and will not start until after sitting for hours. It has been to the shop 4 times, each with a carbuetor adjustment or rebuild. I borrowed my brother's Stihl chainsaw, it kept running until I got hot, not when it got hot.

I purchased this chainsaw after having a Homelite 16" electric die after 10 minutes of use. The Husqvarna 235e started properly according to the starting instructions. I was able to stop and restart the chainsaw as needed during my work. I couldn't ask for a better chainsaw. It's light weight, vibration free, quiet, and cuts through an eight in log with ease.

I would agree with almost everything others have said about this saw, it is a complete waste of money lots of critical parts are plastic and prone to breaking , like the chain tensioning screw and the chain lock mech , both of which have broken , and aren't covered in warranty! everytime I pick up this saw to use it something else goes wrong , am ditching it to get a Stihl !

Please please please do not buy this saw it's pants

A total POS, stay away. I am a retired pro power equipment mechanic. Had a friend bring me one of these about a year old with low (10-20) hours. There were serious intake leaks making it run lean. I fixed that, it worked for a while and now the carb is flooding & needs a kit. As soon as it runs again it is getting sold or traded in.

It is a very lightly built saw, and with the CA emissions stuff and tiny CCs, it's not very powerful. You also need a special tool to adjust the carb. My own saws are Husky & Johnsred, but I wouldn't have this saw if I won it in a contest. Harsh? Yes, but apt. It is not a good saw.
