What's strange is that for all the problems Echo's purportedly have, I see very few actual Echo problem threads here and on other sites.
Welcome to the site fellow wisconsinite. I don't know much about the cs400 but I'll bump you to the top and maybe someone will notice your post. I've used a cs300 and a 600p and they worked fine for occasional use. A muffler mod and better chain probably would've helped.

Echo is a bad brand, that should be avoided - the saws are duds, and they handle their dealers really badly, from what I have heard - really arrogant people, that try to make the brand more than it really is!
Why don't they submit any power specs, except some obviously fake ones on an Aussie site (how does listing hp numbers as kW ones, and then multiplying those numbers with 1.34 again, to get a "new" hp number sound?). :jester:
Anyway, the truth was hidden further into that site (in manuals etc) - but I am far from sure everyone looked that closely into it...
troll, again, you need to use a saw before giving your opinion on it.
the cs400 will easily out cut most other saw it's size and a little bigger. no muffler modding needed, just a good tune. it's really the only echo i'd own. it's also real world, not paper specs lighter than any other 40cc out there.
the dealer thing is subjective, all brands have a$$holes behind the counter. and they all have their ways of ducking out of 'warranty' work. for the price, i'd pick one up if i didn't already have the
dolmar 420. which is just a few bucks more........
