Any good Lowes chainsaws?

Are any of the chainsaws at lowes worth a crap? I have an echo cs670 that got during Katrina cleanup. I finally wore the sprocket on the bar out. Ive got a new one ordered but wont be here before this weekend. I need a saw to clean up with this weekend. Looking in the 18-20” size. My echo runs a 24”. No replacement bars locally to fit it, bigger, smaller or same size.

I bought the Husqvarna 450 20” from Lowe’s and have cut a lot of trees with it the past few weeks. Overall I’ve been happy with it.
Only two issue I’ve had were with the brake being stuck (my fault) and the bar sprocket seems to get stuck after decent amount of use.
You have to disengage the Brake before removing the chain cover. I didn’t and forced the cover off, then it won’t go back on right. Took a day and a few YouTube videos to figure out how to disengage the brake. The bar sprocket just needs to be cleaned and oiled. Had to use a screw driver to get it unstuck .

I bought the Husqvarna 440....one tank of gas, and will not run.
Buy the farm/commercial grade saws, not the residential versions.

Don't waste your money. Get a Stihl

I would not buy this type of equipment from the big box stores. Spend a little extra and buy from a dedicated dealer. I prefer Stihl, others may have differing opinions but stay away from the low end products at the big box stores.

Same with mine. Brand new and runs like crap. I bought this one as a spare to my Stihl but will be returning it and getting another smaller Stihl for basic projects.

Dont buy expensive toys you need to depend on from Lowe's

Echo would be your best bet.
