It says five years , but if they don't cover anything that don't mean much.
Just curious if the warranty is any good . Your experience ???

i have owned and run many echos and never had a problem with them now as far as the warranty goes and friend of mine is an echo tech,, if you want to call him that,, a lot of you know what i mean,, any who he told me that echo tells him to find any reason NOT to warrenty a saw,, to me a warranty is useless since the first thing i do is a MM and pull the limiters
Thanks for all the responses,this forum really cuts it down nicely.
Since they SHOULD be modded,I have another thread on modding a cs680 any walk through on a MM with pictures around here ?
Depends on the dealer, but honestly, you SHOULD be voiding your warranty on the current crop of Echo saws the minute you buy them - they're tuned/set-up too lean for their own good. Once you do that, they should run fine for a long, long time. Echo makes good quality stuff, even if they aren't always on top of the heap in terms of power-to-weight for a given CC engine size.

The cs352 runs good, cuts good but the Chain Catcher on mine snapped right off the clutch cover. My dealer said, well it's a cheap Homeowner saw and not covered by warranty. I was told that ALL Echo saws are professional grade and Echo don't make cheap Homeowner saws. My dealer said, not covered by warranty but they will order a new assembly and I pay for it. A lot of lower price saws including Sthil are moulding a chain catch right onto the clutch cover. You should see how thinly connected the plastic attachement to mine was. It looks as if it's designed to break off if a chain ever jumps. I'd appreciate a cheap replacement. That plastic clutch cover shouldn't cost more than a couple of bucks. If they break that easily and were only 3 or 4 bucks each I'd buy 3 or 4 and keep them on hand. A small plastic part should be cheap to make. I saw one sold only as a complete assembly on Amazon, or ? For like 35 bucks. Which is crazy expensive. I'll Google that more later. China could make a killing making after market plastic parts for these things. My guess is I'm not the only one who has experienced this problem. Good day.Right, no worry about a warrenty here, keep them tuned and good fuel and 99% + you'll never need a warrenty. If a saw burns up because of bad fuel no manufactor will warrenty it, I do think sometimes Echo blames bad fuel on saws that are just set too lean out of the factory. As mentioned above a good dealer will set the saws right . Steve
They didn't even want to see my paper work. The guy looked at the saw and said, they won't cover that on the Warranty. He did offer to order the new part and let ME BUY it. Kinda makes me think twice about buying Echo. I have bought 4 saws from that company since 2015. This is my first and only problem. If Josh was still working there he would have taken care of it. I wrote a good 5 star on this business in the past when I get time I'm going to change that. You can Google that company. It's a Hardware Store in Bossier City Louisiana. Not sure if I can give the name but you can figure it out. I saw negative reviews from others about negative reviews and since Josh always treated me well I ignored them. Now, I'm realizing that door swings both ways. Hit me in the back. I may contact the owner and see what he has to say. The guys that work there may change their minds. Sadly its quite a drive so I can't just face to face chat. I've always liked Mr. Tubbs and maybe I'll check with him before I make up my mind. However his employees told me it's Echo that won't give me a new part. They also sell Sthil and I buy parts there. It may be the new employee that doesn't know who I am and how much business I've done there. Josh always cut me some super deals. Danged sure miss that guy. If he still worked there we'd not be having this chat. Good day.Don't you have any paperwork from when you purchased the saw? What did it say regarding warranty?
