Mid Priced Chainsaws
A filter grouping the middle of the catalogue.
This is a filter rather than a buying category: it groups the middle of the catalogue. There are 57 saws in it. It is deliberately kept out of search results, because the useful way to shop is by power source or by bar length.
The middle of the market is where most people should be shopping. Known brands, real parts availability, brushless motors on the battery side and 40 to 50 cc engines on the petrol side. It is the range that covers garden work and firewood without paying for professional durability.

A better way to narrow it down
Start with the job. Decide the bar length from the thickest wood you cut regularly, add about 5 cm, then pick the power source: petrol for firewood and felling, cordless for pruning and garden work, corded for the most cutting power per pound within reach of a socket.
Then compare within that group: 12 inch, 14 inch, 16 inch, 18 inch or 20 inch.
