Advantages: powerful and middle range good for the £ Disadvantages: heavy
...The StihlMS 260 is the second chainsaw that i have bought. The reasion that I bought it was a combination of power and money, It is a powerful 50cc machine that has dealt with everything that i have pointed it at. I found it hard to start the first time, so ask your supplier how to start it as i did not and made a fool out of myself. The maintenance side of the machine is very easybasically undo the two nut and the tension screw and you can easily access the machine to clean the sawdust and the oil from the working parts. The machine is quite heavy and you know you are using it after half an hour. keep it clean and the saw will last for ever. What a wonderful chainsaw...

Advantages: none Disadvantages: no customer service at all if things go wrong
...I'd never buy another Stihl anything again after the way I've been treated.
Very Briefly.
Bought a chainsaw in 2005.
Used it sparingly for domestic use cutting a few branches for my log fires.
It broke.
Wouldn't oil the chain.
Was told by service agents that a bearing had broken and this had hit the casing, cracking it, causing oil to flow out and not into lubricating the chain.
Cost as much to replace casing as buy new one.
I phoned Stihl, they said two year gurantee on home use, so they spoke to agents.
Agents told them I'd used engine oil in my oil tank - I hadn't.
Agents told them the saw had been used with the brake on and this had caused the case to melt - they told me above. Bear in mind they'd already charged me nearly £80 for replacing bearing and clutch parts.
Stihl eventually picked up saw for checking.
3 months...

Iv'e had this cam for 9 months now, and to be quite honest i can't really fault it. The cam has a good resolution (640 x 480) so if you use it on msn messenger, you dont appear really fuzzy to the other person.
