Pros: a high performance saw that lasts longer than other high revving saws
Cons: price out of range for amateur cutters
The Bottom Line: The Echo CS5000 is a non-gender-specific ripper, able to tackle the meanest redwood or frailest twig.

| chrisbickel's Full Review: Echo Chainsaw Cs3450 |
While it may be true that the chainsaw market is hotly contested, it is generally regarded to be truism that Echo Chainsaws have earned their reputation amongst professionals for their outstanding performance. However, it is their long lasting quality that put the Echo name at the top of the dog-eat-dog foodchain of heavy-duty powertool supremecy.
Who would disagree that the Echo saw is a leader in its class and is a safe choice in a world of confusing and conflicting competitive claims? Some chainsaw manufacturers make very bold claims indeed!
Black and Decker claims that their top of the line model will saw through a decommissioned aircraft carrier with little or no damage to the rotating blade. Can they support their claims? Sure, we've all seen the commercial featuring a computer animated charicature of the late Jim Varney ripping through the hull of the USS North Dakota with the precision of a skilled bladesman, but fancy CGI simulations are meaningless in a world where people demand truth. Truth is what Echo saws offer. The truth will set you free from the bonds of false claims made by opportunistic hucksters!
Echo doesn't claim to be anything it isn't, nor does it pander to the industry's push toward offering useless features in the name of "technological advancement." The Stihl company claims to offer a saw that doubles as a cell phone/ baby monitor. In these times of political correctness beyond all rationality, Stihl has conned themselves and the public into thinking that a chainsaw with a baby monitor is a positive solution to negative gender stereotyping. Did they stop to think that you can't hear a baby monitor when a chainsaw is running?! Their inclusion of a cell phone in the handle is needless to say hazardous, considering some users may forget to turn off the blade before answering an incoming call. You won't find any of these unneeded "bells and whistles" on an Echo model. Echo chainsaws are meant to be used within the zenlike state of prideful workmanship... this state is not to be disturbed by phone calls or baby monitors! You won't find an Echo chainsaw in the hands of a SHARPER IMAGE shopping ninnie. You will find an Echo chainsaw in the hands of professional cutters who take their work and safety seriously.
The top of the line model CS5000 is a high performance professional saw that runs faster and lasts longer than other high revving saws. It runs quieter and makes more efficient use of its fuel source (standard unleaded gasoline mixed with oil) than any other saw in its class. Unlike the comparable Craftsman brand saw that requires a 70/30 mixture of hydrogen peroxide to styrofoam packing material as a fuel source, the Echo CS5000 uses a fuel source easily found at any gas station on the east coast.
This country was founded on the principles of tearing through the natural landscape and a crazy little notion called "democracy" that our forefathers believed was worth fighting for.
Echo is dedicated to these principles, and has accepted its position as a worldclass leader in the preservation of democracy through decimation of entire forests. Arm yourself with the Echo CS5000 and join the fight for freedom!
Freedom from the oppression of ridiculous competitor claims!
Freedom from false ergonomics!
Freedom from unsavory cutting methods!
Freedom from the communist threat of Soviet manufactured "sawskas" that have been turning up in budget powertool catalogs!
Freedom from the insipid sloganeering of public representatives of secret societies that seek to control the world economy through the disbursement of misinformation and faulty sub-par tree processing equipment!
Remember, when they stop cutting the trees, we fall to our knees!
Go Echo, and remember: The BUZZ is back in 2001!
