    If you are going spending 200, would you not go an extra 80 and get a Stihl 180 or an Oleomac 370 etc?
    The saw you linked to could even be made by Oleomac, but if you need it worked on by a repairman, you'll get a better reception with a recognised brand.

    You'll find it hard to get a Stihl saw online, if you're looking for a reasonably priced saw then the Husky 135 is perfect for light work around the home

    Cheapest here too https://robertkee.ie/product/husqvarna-135-chainsaw2

    Thanks all for the recommendations. I actually went and bought the Florabest 17 inch 53cc saw in Lidl. It might be rubbish but it's only for cutting a few overhanging limbs and some already felled trees for a bit of firewood so I just needed something basic. It was only €89 so if it's crap then so be it. Thought it was worth the punt at that price, if I get a year of light use out of it I'd be happy enough.

    I'd go for the Husqvarna over the Stihl, or even better a Dolmar PS32 if you can find one. All three are decent quality.
