Chainsaw Showdown: From Regret to Reliable – Ranked from Worst to Best

#20. Oregon – Great Parts, Not-So-Great Saws

Regret Rating: ★☆☆☆☆

Ever try to use a chainsaw and wonder, “Is this thing on?” That’s Oregon’s entire vibe. Ironically, they’re a go-to brand for replacement chains and bars—but their actual chainsaws feel like a side project they forgot to finish.
If you just want to clean up a few twigs next to your flower bed, maybe it works. But trimming trees or tackling storm damage? Forget it.

Why skip it:

• Only sells corded electric saws
• No gas, no heavy-duty options
• Feels more like a backup tool than a real one
