Owner Feedback
Below are some reviews of owners of chainsaws Caliber BP-2600 / 18u from thematic forums:
Sergey, 31 years old, Kazakhstan:
“I liked this model. I immediately exchanged the chain for a quiet one. I took the branded oil – it’s red. Expensive, but it’s not a pity to expand the engine resource. With the main task – sawing perfectly copes. Starts easily. For a summer residence this is all, but for those who need it for professional purposes, it is better to look at another, but it will cost more.

Alexey, 23 years old, Astrakhan:
“I got it three years ago. More than 30 m3 of wood was sawn during the work. Not suitable for small shrubs as the chain often flies. Didn’t have to go to service. Once I changed the tire and chain about a dozen times. At negative temperatures sawed pine with a diameter of 20 cm and ran like clockwork.
Pros: Low price, great performance, low maintenance.
Cons: The factory chain is not the most reliable
