I looked at the Husqvarna and the smaller Stihl one. Bought the Stihl saw and couldn’t be happier. It was smaller than the Husky and does light cutting chores with ease. Lots of cutting on a charge, which is good because a replacement battery is $$. Stihl makes a larger saw which did not fit my needs or budget. Other brands may be as good for all I know, but I’d buy this one again.
