I have 4 saws, the 180 being the smallest and a 80cc Husqvarna at the other end. I love my little ms180. As another reviewer said, it is not the saw for logging large timber but that is not what I bought it for. Fantastically light, manoeuvrable and reliable - I find it is a great little saw for light limbing or trimming. Pound for pound, this is the best saw I have bought!

This is an excellent little saw. No it is not suitable for weeks working in the forests of Oregon, but that is not what you have paid for. It is light, a good starter, cuts well and is really economical. I went of a week long course and the instructor was a little dismissive of my saw to start with. By the end of the week he was talking about buying one himself. The only issue is that if you run it dry it can be difficult to restart as it does not have a priming bulb, but this is solved by refilling when it starts to splutter, instead of leaving it until it dies.
