Here are some of the Handyman Member club testimonials.
Kelly says, “I recommend this saw to anyone that uses chainsaws because it is very easy to handle [and] it doesn't lose a lot of power under a load and also it's easy on fuel. I tested this saw against a Stihl, Poulan and a Husqvarna - all of equal size and there's no comparison. The ECHO CS-400 out-performed all 3 in every test I put it through and I'm not the easiest on equipment. The CS-400 will be my primary firewood saw around my home and my shop. For 22 years I've owned and operated a SMALL ENGINE & EQUIPMENT REPAIR SHOP and I've never seen a small, lightweight saw perform like this one does. ECHO is on top of their game; keep-up the good work guys.”
Doug added, “I would recommend the ECHO CS-400 as a great homeowner chain saw. Good saw for light limbing, small diameter cord wood, and all around use for its size.”
Jose found it worked well in winter: “It has great power, light weight, easy to start. It worked great for the down branches from the heavy snow. Got the job done quicker than I thought it would take.”
Dallas had this to say: “The ECHO CS-400 chain saw gives you the versatility and power needed take care of those smaller jobs quickly and efficiently. I have found it to be an invaluable tool in taking care of things like basic tree maintenance and storm damage clean up. It is easy to start and packs quite the punch for its size. I would definitely recommend this tool for the serious handyman out there.”
Finally, member/tester Erik summed it up thusly, “The ECHO CS-400 is an all around great product for my needs as homeowner with many trees in our yard. It was rather easy to set up and to adjust. I really wanted to test this chainsaw so I cut up an 8' timber into 2" slices. It took me minutes to cut up the whole log……. More than enough power for me to trim branches and cut down some trees in our yard.”
