    Q:To Ryobi: What is the proper setting on H jet for WOT (wide open throttle with no load) for this saw? I'm having a heck of a time making this saw work again. All of a sudden it won't start or throttle up. Definitely seems like a throwaway saw ...

              Terrible Chainsaw
              This was my first and absolutely last Ryobi purchased tool for my farm. I would give it a minus score if it was possible. The chainsaw literally broke after two days of use and has been in warranty service for three months now. It’s brand new and still under warranty but what good is that if its not repaired or replaced? Don’t be fooled by the lower cost. You get what you pay for!

                    Bought prior to Hurricane Ian
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I knew I would need a chainsaw when prepping for Hurricane Ian. I've been a big fan of Ryobi tools so this met my need for small lot homeowner. Sure enough, 4 trees to cut up and one from roof. The chainsaw worked great, and hard! I did have hard time starting it up after stopping when it was hot (possible flooding carb) but it would start up again, every time, after resting it for 5 mins. It has a nice carry case and blade sheath. Nice tool for the price! I will clean it and store it for the next Hurricane! (It's not my first rodeo!)

                        Outstanding workaholic.
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just had 2 trees cut down and instead of hauling it off, I bought this Ryobi chainsaw and cut it up myself for firewood. Big job requires the right tools. Well, I made a good choice. It handles the work load well.

                          Good Saw for DIY Homeowner
                          Bought on 07/11/2021. I’m a novice; hence this will not be a technical review of its functions. It is lightweight and is easy to maintain. I have changed the bar and chain once because my cuts were going sideways although I have sharpened the chain. I can't find OEM parts in local stores but read that I could use Oregon parts. I was able to cut a log into four sections but will consider getting a longer bar since Ryobi said in the Q&A section I could go up/down two sizes.

                            Great Value!
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m 54 and I’ve never owned a chainsaw until I bought the 18” about two years ago. A stranger I was chatting with told me he has land with a lot of dead white ash. Since I have a fireplace I decided to put my Ryobi to work. I cut, split and stack wood from his land about 8 months of the year. That man is now a friend and my Ryobi is a beast. Had chain sharpened countless times and had many new chains put on. And my chainsaw keeps cutting. It’s a breeze to use and maintain. Having trees to cut (for firewood) and a tough, reliable chainsaw has saved me hundreds of dollars a year in heating costs. I highly recommend this chainsaw!

                              Nice Saw
                              I bought this saw a couple months ago and I've used it about 10 times so far. Always starts up, never stalls. It gets right through the white and red oak that I used the saw for. I guess time will tell how good this saw is over the next few months.

                                Does the job well!
                                Just bought this today, filled it with chain oil and 2 stroke gas and it fired right up. Cut down a bunch of trees as pictured. Works really well for what I need, really impressed!
