    looks like the blade is only the oregon part, as oregon are usually red,,, never used the engenes,, but oregon blades are very common because they are good

    I have the florabest chainsaw from lidl..........and its actually made by husquevarna........and its brilliant.

    check who makes this.......it'll be stamped somewhere on it......but I'd not worry, at €99 its a bargain, and the warranty is good.........

    Would anyone have any opinion on this saw? I know it's not going to be as good as a Stihl or Husqvarna but is it a complete lemon?

    Thanks in advance!

    +1 to the lemon vote. After 90 minutes of use the screw used to tension the chain by moving the bar stripped. The saw itself is also quite heavy. But my preference is for the more nimble top handle type saws, which may influence that thought.
    You can always return it under warranty, we just found it a waste of time (literally) seeing how a simple part failed so quickly after purchase.

    Thanks all for your advice.

    I think I'm going to chance it. Even if I get 10 hours work out of it it won't be too bad.

    Thank all again.
