Shawn C.: I purchased this chainsaw 4 years ago and still happy with it. I don’t use it a lot but when I use it, I use it hard. Mostly cutting down hard live oak trees down here in Florida. It’s not a Stihl but it’s also much cheaper. My only complaint would be the chain does need tightened quite a bit, but for the avg home owner I would say it’s worth the buy. What I like about it the most, is the fact that it’s starts within a few pulls after sitting for 8+ months. Same spark plug, just add new fuel and chain oil. If I had to guess I would say I probably have 20-25 hours ish with it and on my second Chain. Again I have been hard on it

Chad Posell: I bought this Poulan 16” chainsaw because I have always used Poulan saws growing up to get firewood with my Dad; his saws were always great. We had a wind storm down some major tree branches so I bought this saw to cut them up so I could haul them away. You don’t expect the cutting part of a job like this to be the time consuming part but in my case it was. The saw would not cut through the branches quickly and seemed to always bog down when any tension was put on the blade. Well I got this job done, after a very long and arduous go, and thought that maybe I had dulled the blade or had just gotten a dull one from the start and decided to replace the blade before I used it again. We just had another storm take down some branches so I pulled it out again and ran it to get it warm and tried to cut through the branches again and was disappointed yet again. What a piece of junk this saw is and what a total waste of money this was. Fed up with this experience I went and bought a saw that someone recommended (Stihl Wood Boss) and the difference was night and day. The new Stihl saw went through the branches like hot butter. These two saws have almost...

RogerRoger: Since writing this review, I've since had the leaking oil fixed under warranty at a local repair shop, see notes at bottom. A great feasible chainsaw for a DIY person performing their own repairs, and/or for a home owner learning basics.

Poulan could likely also improve these products by allowing interchangeable blade lengths. I would likely buy two ~50cc chainsaw engines, one with a 16 and one with 20 inch bar, rather than differently sized engines/parts. Many other manufacturers readily offer a similar range of bar lengths, rather than one fixed bar length per make/model engine/base.

Spending ~$600-700 seems excessive, for a few more proprietary not needed or "nice to have" features. Poulan is feasibly priced basic chainsaw.

Now, continuing with my initial review of this product....

This is an initial review of the Poulan PR4016 chainsaw, with initial photos for people desiring a good 360x360 view of the chainsaw.

I've owned several Poulan Pro products over the past decade or more, and the Poulan products tend to be of good quality with excellent dependable starting and running with the trade-off being more affordable than...
