Centee Chainsaws

The Centee chainsaws we have on file, with specifications and buying guidance.

We hold 2 models from Centee on file, with a 51 cm bar, petrol powered. Every one of them has been discontinued by the retailers we track, so each review now points at a current equivalent instead of a dead buy link.

Browse the wider market by petrol, cordless or corded, or by cutting length from 12 inch to 20 inch.

Buying a less familiar brand

Smaller brands can be good value, and the saws themselves are often built in the same factories as better-known machines. What differs is what happens afterwards, so three things are worth checking before you buy.

Parts. Chains and bars are the consumables you will actually replace. If the saw uses standard Oregon-pattern sizes, which most do, any dealer can match them from the numbers stamped on the bar. If it uses something proprietary, think twice.

Service. Ask where a carburettor problem gets fixed. Brands with a UK distributor can supply filters, fuel lines and diaphragms; marketplace-only brands often cannot, which turns a cheap saw into a disposable one.

Warranty terms. Check the length, whether it covers domestic use only, and who you contact. A two-year warranty that requires shipping the saw abroad is not worth much.

What to compare it against

For a saw at a similar price with a UK parts network behind it, look at Hyundai, Einhell or Black+Decker. For saws built to last, Stihl, Husqvarna and Makita.

Centee chainsaw FAQs

Are Centee chainsaws any good?

We have not tested them in the field, so treat the specifications here as the manufacturer states them. For any smaller brand the questions that matter are the same: can you buy a chain and bar for it, is there a UK route to spare parts, and what does the warranty actually cover. If the answer to the first is yes, it is usually worth considering at the right price.

Where do I get chains and bars for a Centee chainsaw?

Read the bar. The cutting length, pitch and gauge are stamped on it, usually near the saw body, along with the drive link count. Those numbers, not the brand name, are what you buy a chain with, and most saws use standard Oregon-pattern sizes that any dealer can match.

What should I check before buying an unfamiliar chainsaw brand?

Parts availability first, then service, then warranty terms. Also check that the saw has a chain brake and automatic chain oiling, which any reputable model will. If a petrol saw lists its fuel mix ratio and a battery saw states the platform, that is a sign of a brand taking the machine seriously.
