I advise everyone to buy it, you won’t regret it

8 September 2018

I have a Husqvarna chainsaw, I took it in for servicing, and then they brought 30 meters of firewood. I saw a neighbor cutting it with an electric saw. I think I’ll go and look on the Internet how much this toy costs in one of the stores, 1813 UAH. compared to other stores 2970g. I immediately made an application, came three days later and immediately got to work 10 meters of alder in half a day and half a liter of oil, I’m just shocked that such a toy can be such a beast; , and only everything is positive

Super saw

they are not here

Good and Convenient Household-Class Saw

The Einhell Home GH-EC 2040 chainsaw is equipped with a 2000 W electric motor. Despite its modest power reserve compared to many similar models, it confidently handles cutting logs up to 375 mm in diameter, construction lumber, and raw wood without overloading or overheating the engine. The 400 mm cutting gear can be installed without the need for keys or screwdrivers. Chain tension is adjusted via a wheel located on the right side of the housing, which is convenient for preparation and during operation. The chain is automatically lubricated by a built-in pump.

Good Components — A Guarantee of Quality

The quality of this saw deserves high praise. It is neatly assembled, and reliable CHL bearings are used in the construction, along with an electric motor with a well-protected armature, high-quality dust-protected switches, a reliable torsion spring, and other thoughtful elements that demonstrate the manufacturer's serious approach. The gearbox is especially noteworthy: both the drive and the driven gears are made of metal, whereas many manufacturers reduce costs by installing plastic driven gears. It is also worth mentioning the use of the original bar and chain from Oregon, one of the leaders in the production of cutting equipment for chainsaws.

The Golden Mean

Although Einhell products belong to the household class, the Einhell Home GH-EC 2040 model stands out pleasantly against this backdrop. It has been produced for more than 10 years, has a good reputation among users and service center specialists, and is considered one of the best offers in the mid-price segment in terms of cost and quality.
