Patrick O'Donnell: A tame beast! I have a CS-370 and a CS-400 and this makes them both seem underpowered (they're not). I process between 4-5 cords of hardwood a year to heat my house. I used the 590 to cut through some 12-16" ash logs and it was like cutting butter. It took less than half the time it usually does to do the job, and I wish I would have upgraded years ago. Sure, it's heavier (not by much), but the reduction in time spent on the job easily makes up for that.
When I started using Echos 30-some years ago, they were somewhat newer on the market; I worked at a dealership that sold and serviced chainsaws. They outperformed, outlasted and outsold every other brand. In all the years since, the brand has never disappointed me.
Note: Some buyers have said the saw would not start. Mine was hard-starting out of the box, and after following all the instructions (choke, decompression, yank 5 times, etc.), it finally kicked over after I held the throttle wide open while pulling the starter. I won't tell you how I did that, as it's a method of starting a saw that's not exactly safe if you're not careful or don't know what you're doing. But after I did that, it started on the first or second...

Marmot Matthew: Used for felling trees in cabin construction, this Echo has made my life easy. It's not heavy but not lightweight either. Seems to be balanced well. The decompression button is a lifesaver. The chain included is a great tree eater and has felled 60 18" hardwoods without skipping a beat. Soon, I'll be trying it on an Alaskan mill so we will see how it does with a ripping chain. Really happy with my purchase and love how great the warranty is on Echo models too. If you're on the fence about it, go for it. I'd pit this against a Stihl any day.

BrandonBrandon: 5 year review: my echo CS:590 is still going strong. I have been clearing fence line on our property, and bucking the larger logs for firewood. Currently clearing large honey locust trees which are the devil. I broke the chain tensioner on the saw, and ordered a replacement online (easy fix). The CS-590 always starts for me on the 3rd pull. I place the saw choke on, pull once or twice till I hear the saw hit (audible noise that the saw fires in the combustion chamber), turn choke off, pull again, and saw fires up. I normally don’t use the decompression button. Also, I always use ethanol free gas and drain the saw when storing for several months. I read another reviewer who had issues with the echo warranty due to purchasing this saw off Amazon; I never had to use the warranty, but if that is true, I would not recommend buying this saw off Amazon. While up in the brush I accidentally ran the saw over with my fourwheeler and didn’t manage to damage it. I take care of my saw, but I also work the ever living crap out of it! Again, I love this SAW. I’ll post some more picks this week of work I’ve been doing with the saw.
2 year review; Best bang for your buck in my...
