I have tried most of them. Partner is a darn good saw- reliable, light, powerful, good water system, nice filters. We bought a Shindawa last year. That is a nice saw too. Heavier than a Partner, but it starts a little easier, and has more power. Its weakness is the on off switch. Its a metal toggle that is easy to snap off. If we are doing a lot of heavy cutting that doesn't have to be pretty I prefer the Shindawa. For finesse it's Partner. I'm all done with Stihl. Make sure to mix the gas right. Do it yourself every time. My guys have wrecked a few saws with poorly mixed gas.
