Husqvarna 550 XP is decent small saw for all round work. Bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Same with Stihl. If you're willing to get second hand, a Husqvarna 365 is similar to the 550. Should be able to pick up a refurbished 365 for about £200

 

Get me a couple of those £200 365s, £400 seems to be the going rate for a decent one and they are not small saws in my view at 6.5kg and 70cc.

I would say a 365 is not like a 550 except for the color . ts 70 odd cc and quite a bit heavier . Also be aware there are a lot of Chinese 365 clones about .

Any update what op went for? A month after asking opinions he'll have been talked into an 880 with a 42" bar!

I thought the answer was always a 500i?  Wish I'd tried to sell him my old 251. 😂
