Last week I was insulted when a friend said “Choosing between a gas or electric chainsaw is like choosing between paper or plastic.” I never felt more insulted. We were talking about chainsaws, something serious. It’s not like we’re talking McDonalds’ or Burger King. Urrghhh, some people will never learn. I personally prefer not to play favorites between electric and gas powered chainsaws. I like to keep both types on hand, electric chainsaws for quick jobs and gas chainsaws for more arduous tasks. Today I’ll be going in to detail about one of my favorite electric chainsaws, the Poulan Pro 400E Electric Chainsaw.

I do not have the audacity and nerve of some other chainsaw review writers and say “it will cut 10 feet of oak in 10 seconds”. The Poulan Pro 400E is not for cutting down giant trees or taming the Alaskan Frontier. But it’s still one of the best chainsaws out there for cutting firewood and pruning thicker tree branches and bushes. It’s also very light, making it a lot easier on the arms to accomplish tasks that will last longer than 20 minutes.

Another reason why I like the Poulan Pro Electric Chainsaw is the no hassle maintenance. No priming pumps, no messy, smelly gas. Just grab an extension cord and turn it on to start your work quickly. Just remember, like all chainsaws, the Poulan Pro 400E Electric Chainsaw does require regular lubrication. If you’re chainsaw is not properly lubricated, you’re going to have problems and plenty of frustration. Just look at the directions, they should tell you everything you need to know for maintaining your chainsaw.

Of course, I can’t overlook cost. Cost one of the main reasons why I have rated the Poulan 400E Electric Chainsaw so high. It retails for about $90 online and Amazon offers free shipping. There’s not too much of a chance your local hardware store is going to be able to beat that price. I strongly recommend the Poulan Pro 400E Chainsaw to just about anyone with a yard to maintain.

I like my burgers all different ways. I like them with pineapple and teriyaki sauce, with secret sauce, lettuce, tomato, and extra pickle, or on toasted garlic bread with a hearty meat sauce. But sometimes I like it simple. Just a hunk of meat and cheese between a fresh toasted hamburger bun. If you like to keep things simple, I can’t think of a simpler gas powered lawn mower than the Poulan Pro 3 in 1 lawn mower.

One of the other things I hate doing when I buy a new lawn mower is assembling it. It can sometimes take a couple hours. I may have a green thumb, but I’m definitely not a grease monkey. I usually have my new lawn mowers assembled at family owned lawn mower shop called Oshiros. Fortunately for the mechanically inept, the Poulan Pro Lawn Mower comes fully assembled when it ships! Just gas and go! The only thing that might have to be assembled is the handle, but that’s only a couple screws away from completion.

If you’re like me, you like to start the lawn mower and cut. The Poulan Pro does not have any annoying gears to mess with or figure out, there is no drive system causing unnecessary problems. When you’re using the Poulan Pro Push Lawn Mower, it’s just you, your lawn mower, and the grass. Ahhh, I’m getting euphoric just thinking about the fresh cut grass.

Poulan has decided to use the powerful Briggs and Stratton 600 Series Engine to power their Poulan Pro Lawn Mower. It’s no secret, I like powerful tools. Gardening is just not fun if you have to stop every two inches to give a chainsaw blade a rest or your weed wacker can’t power through those thick weeds you’ve been meaning to cut for six months. The Briggs and Stratton 600 Series Engine delivers 190 cc’s of torque and should be powerful enough to cut even the thickest of lawns with ease.

Finally, Poulan has priced the Poulan Pro Lawn Mower very low. I think Poulan could get away with charging about $50 bucks more, just don’t tell them I said so. I would hate to think they raised the price because of a garden blogger like myself! Well that’s all I have to say on the subject. I hope you find a lawn mower that keeps your yard looking neat!
