I bought one with 14” bar about 3 weeks ago and like it so far…I like the electric switch control…if you set it down it will shut off so when you grab it you don’t inadvertently start it…it is sort of like a safety on a gun…When you’re moving down a log making multiple cuts it will stay in the ready mode if you hold down the top safety lever…I agree it’s a tad heavier than I expected…I use the ap300s…2 bars of power will cut a full load of firewood for my Kawa mule…I won’t be giving up my petrol saws but it certainly has a niche as a handy grab and go saw💯

honest review.  thanks

It’s heavy for a reason helps with cutting better
