“Powerful, lightweight, unpretentious, well-balanced saw, works fast, cuts without gouging. The saw is clean: better not to think about anything to take care of the garden. I note the neat assembly and high quality plastic. And the price of this model is nice.

“I asked my husband what he wanted for his birthday. He thought about it, started reading something on the Internet (as it turned out later, reviews of Champion 118-14 owners), consulted with someone on the phone and ordered such a tool. For a year and a half his joy was boundless. For the first time in our garden is perfect order. No need to buy gas, and my husband no longer smells like burning. I am happy, and my husband is just happy.
Evgeny, 27, Kirov
“A good saw, but not without flaws. From the advantages I will highlight the price, economical engine and good assembly. If we talk about the disadvantages, the following should be considered – Champion 118 is not suitable for serious construction: it is quite weak. In addition, after the purchase I had oil leakage – I had to change the tank, it turned out that it was cracked. Advantages: economical, well built, quality plastic. Weaknesses: poor performance, faulty oil tank, broken start button.

reviews of owners
Nikolay Kormiltsev, 55 years old, Syktyvkar:
In order not to burn gasoline in vain (I still work in the yard), I decided to buy an electric saw. From my own experience, I will say that the power is enough. Afraid that the cord will get tangled underfoot, nothing like that – there is a special hook for the wire, and the extension cord lies on the ground. I prepare firewood with gasoline, and saw with an electric saw. So far so good.
Ilya Vasiliev, 27 years old, Ryazan region:
Wanted to buy a model, but I was advised Champion 118. I have been drinking for a year now. On the whole, I justified its properties. Electricity is enough, there are no questions to the engine. Worse with the chain lubrication system. The tank leaks – leaving only electric saw oil, you get a puddle. And now I also noticed that the chain is bad lubricated – I’ll have to take it to the service, myself do not understand.
