I bought the PCN-4545 just over 2 tears ago. All was well until recently when it suddenly started over-revving. I have visited my local garden machinery dealer who will not touch it as he says he can not get the spares.
I have tried to find a Ryobi service centre in Essex & failed. The Ryobi website is only for the US/Canada.
I would avoid Ryobi. I am now going to buy a proper brand (Stihl) to mach my strimmer.

My 18 inch Ryobi PCN-4545 was sturdy enough for the first few months, but the chain oil supply slowly packed up by the third. No local service agents. Had to break my contract to fix oil supply, by employing non-registered service agent. Problem was fixed only for another few months. Over that time, the saw went through three chains. Within twelve months, power output started to plummet. Eventually the engine just packed up. I won't even bother fixing it. Can't afford a new one, so I'm replacing ...- Read Guest's review (111 words)

Chainsaw broke down after approximately 8 hours work (over 2 months) no spares available anywhere. Overall, marvellous chainsaw, but no backup whatsoever from Ryobi, their website directs you to the USA when asking for midlands suppliers.- Read Guest's review (34 words)

Major problems with binding /overheating chain brake after very little use. Spares impossible and no service agent will touch it. Have tried everything but saw is now scrap after just over a year. Advise against Ryobi PCN-4545 -get a Husqvarna or a Stihl- Read Guest's review (43 words)

The Ryobi PCN-4545 is cheap. Worked well at first. Appears to be quite well built, but has died horribly after very little (10 hrs?) use. My tame repairer has offered to fix it but will not warranty the repairs based on the number of failed machines he has seen. Ver poor - usual melted/binding chain brake issue, oiler failed etc.- Read Guest's review (60 words)

This Ryobi PCN-4545 feels like a toy, but I have taken down 30ft birch trees with this saw. Ideal for keeping garden trees under control.- Read Guest's review (57 words and 1 comment)

The Ryobi PCN-4545 is a good machine for its price. Mine was overreving at first this was because the carb cable
was too tight. I rerouted it (2 min) no problems since
Dont leave it full of fuel if not in use- Read stevewood's review (53 words)

All seemed well with my Ryobi PCN-4545 at first but then I noticed that the gears were slipping when I pulled the starter rope. Now, the gears seem to be totally stripped as they do not engage enough for the engine to turn over.- Read Guest's review (54 words and 1 comment)

I bought an Ryobi PCN-4545 chainsaw locally, it worked fine at the start, I didn't use it much about 3 times in a week, then I noticed the bolt holding the safety bar was missing and some other parts were loose!I took it back and it was replaced with an 18 inch, the replacement worked fine until about a week after, I have tried everything to start it, I haven't had any problems starting other makes and the use it got was very light, I am going back to the retailer and looking for a full refund, ...- Read greenmachineky's review (145 words)

Overall this Ryobi PCN-4545 is well worth the money, although I did have some trouble sourcing parts. The On/Off switch failed after one use, however, the machine was returned to Ryobi and this fault was repaired & the machine has been working well ever since.
Obtaining spare parts is almost impossible as Ryobi Direct pass the customer on to another company called augmented spares who in turn don't seem sure of the product as they appear to lack product knowledge.
Recently I endevoured to order ...- Read Guest's review (178 words)

Nice balanced machine. I have had 2 of these in the last 6 months and each has started to over rev after about 3 hrs work in total.
The first one was changed by Ryobi for an updated model as the first one over revved which cause the chain bar to warp with heat, the brake to burn out and the oil pump to cease up! The second one has just started to over rev for no reason , so I am sending that back for repair. The second one has done 2 hrs work. Cheap for DIY use only. Nothing else to add- Read Large Jake's review (99 words)

The Ryobi PCN-4545 chainsaw is as good as some of the established names at a competitive price. It is lightweight. Has low vibration. It is very quiet for a petrol saw, and it feels secure.- Read Slip1in's review (47 words)
