I have to look at what brand I have.

I got mine at Menard's for something like $75. It's a two-stroke (I hate the anemic electric ones). I've used it to cut down and cut up a pine and a spruce, each about 12-14" around and 20-25' tall. Considering it sees use maybe once a year, it's been perfect for me. I have to sharpen the chain after every use (and sometimes during use).

Get the Stihl if you need something to use frequently, but the cheap ones are okay for infrequent use.
