No way, I like my 575, I like almost everything about it.
I sold mine to a buddy of mine that owns a grading company and he loves it.Just a matter of personal taste I guess.

Hate Homelites! - cept got me so fed up that I finally bought a Stihl.
Aw come on, Homelites aren't that bad!
When compared to the mighty Stihl, yes, they are.
Even the Stihlheads will admit that the 009 is a turd. C'mon!
Also, Mac 110 and the little Homelite XL's/Super 2's. Those mostly cuz of the pesky 1 needle carbs that never seem to be happy and they are a pain to mount a bar and chain on.
Lets see an MS211 and a Super XL go at it in some big oak and see who wins.
I worked on an 011 Saturday and I thought that was a turd.

I've got a 010AV (different handle set-up but basically the same saw with less plastic) and it's a brilliant little saw - reliable, light, reasonably powerful and oh - I can still get bits for it. I've also had an 011AV and an 009 and found them great little saws. The only issue I had with the 009 was the odd handles. Not quite a top-handle and not quite a normal saw either.
I'd welcome opinions....

I can't figure it either.
I had one that was a great little saw. Started easy, ran STRONG, would idle through lunch and never die when you picked it back up.
I loaned it to a buddy and his house burned, along with my 009.
I have another now, in much better cosmetic condition and it is a good solid little saw too.
I sometimes think people buy a lawnmower and then complain when it's not a farm tractor if you know what I mean.
