EVERYONE should have this saw!!! Very happy with this purchase, I RECOMMEND!!!
25 December 2024 
We bought this saw at the very beginning back in March 2023, for all these years of using this saw, I was amazed at how high-quality it is and how skillfully assembled it is. Another thing that surprised me is the very low fuel consumption and powerful engine. This tire that is on the saw from the factory is too small for me, it will cope with a larger one. And I recommend it, for your money it is the best choice.
Durable engine, low fuel consumption, for me the weight of this saw is very light among its competitors (my opinion)
Over the years, I have only seen one drawback. When the temperature outside is below zero, the saw starts, but with difficulty.
Valeriy use STIHL MS 231 40 more than year
great model, love it

LOW FUEL CONSUMPTION! VERY POWERFUL AND AT THE same time economical! The saw has a huge resource; in production they sawed actively for about 500 hours!!! No problem! THE QUALITY IS VERY PLEASED! WORTH THE MONEY!

More powerful than 180 and in my opinion better than 250, it chews wood like an animal
Starts up perfectly, ergonomic, feels like a glove in your hands. It cuts the entire length of the tire with a bang. Worth the money, I don't regret it. At the dacha I sawed several cars of firewood, it was a pleasure.
No disadvantages
use STIHL MS 231 40 week i recommend it should buy
