This has the potential to be a good saw for a homeowner who typically only needs to delimb (needs only 16"-18" bar) but every once in a great while needs a 20" bar to cut down a 20"-25" tree.
Still though, you are highly likely that your Poulan 4620AVX purchase will be junk. (Even though the 4620AVX has the more desireable/more easily adjusted Walbro carburator and not the junk Zama carburator found on many Poulans/Homelites/Craftsmans/etc).
My "new in box" PP4620AVX saw lasted only 5 hours -- I then found out by calling Poulan with the serial number that it was a new factory reconditioned unit.
What happened is that I lost cylinder compression (zero compression) after 5 hours of use. Yes, I was using the correct oil/gas mix. The rings are not scored, the cylinder walls are worn!
BUYER BEWARE about Poulan's warranty!
- NEW saws have the 2 year warranty
- FACTORY RECONDITION saws have a 30 day warranty
- Both warranties require a sales receipt to measure days of ownership
- If you don't have a sales receipt, days of ownership is measured based of date of manufacture that is encoded/encrypted into the serial number (as in the 183rd day of 2007)
While I really like the features and comfort of the 4620AVX... I have to advise anyone considering this saw to stay away from it due to its poor cylinder construction and the resulting marketing deception that factory recondition saws are new saws.
Poulan might argue that they don't decieve nor misrepresent in their marketing, but it's Poulan's management that decides to flood online retailers with "factory recondition saws".
Ask yourself, why are there so many "factory recondition" saws in the first place?
