I've got a Homie 330, and I appreciate it for what it is...a low-priced consumer saw.
Metal parts that fatigue and crack, gas and oil caps that look like they belong on a vinegar jug at the grocery store, the auto oiler was almost adequate, and like one poster says, not a lot of power for it's weight.
and yet, that was my only saw for a while. when you only have one saw, you use it for everything, and get pretty good service from it. With properly sharpened chain, and a 20" bar, it had no problems knocking over a 4 foot box elder (although I burned up about a gallon of gas on just that one tree). Mine cut perhaps 100 city trees down, bucked them into manageable chunks, as well as serving up about 30 cords of firewood/year for 4 years.
Pretty good service for a free (to me) saw, one that probably only cost $250. It is extremely tired now, but still runs.
