NEO-TEC NS872I 72cc Gas Chainsaw High-End Version, with NGK Spark Plug, Italian Ignition Coil, 24 Inch Chainsaw, 24" Chainsaw, Fit for 25 Inch, 28 Inch Bar, Gas Powered Chainsaw, Gasoline Chainsaw

Cannot beat this for the price. Good quality components. Runs great with good power. Sticker for the choke/ on off was on upside down but that was easy to make right. Lots of tools provided with saw.

First off love the saw runs well out of the box. After looking at reviews I expected an elastic pull start cord and ear muffs I did not receive this which makes me wonder if I got the other up graded components such as carburetor and ignition. When I first ran it the chain tightened and loosened as it ran which seems to have worn out of it with use and it had a wrap around handle which I did not want for stump work. All of these statements are to set expectations for future purchasers overall runs great for now.

Seized up a couple weeks after warranty was out. Messaged to ask what cylinder kit I needed and explained what happened. Neotec closed the inquiry and ignored me. Went to their website to order the parts everything screams free shipping and how they don’t add any surprise shipping fees. They added a $56 dollar express shipping charge after the fact that called for 7-9 days minimum over the 2-5 that was free. Finally got my order canceled and I’m done with them.

An amazing saw for the price. This thing eats through wood with the 72cc motor. The saw and all the extras that you get have truly exceeded my expectations. I am very pleased and impressed with its quality of build and performance.

I bought the 872i upgraded version. Soaked the chain in chain oil for a few days b4 use. Running STIHL Syn 2S oil and chain oil. First 2 tank fulls were alittle heavier on the 2S oil. Start up was pretty simple: couple pulls on full choke then off choke. Pull til you feel it tighten up then release cord then pull back up. I did run the Hi & Lo alittle over 1 out. Had to adjust the idle down also. Thing ran like a beast for me. NO Issues. Had to adjust the chain 2-3 times. Is it as good as a STIHL or Husqvarna? Prob not but I am not a tree guy using this chainsaw all day everyday. Longevity I really cant make that judgement yet. Update March 2026: 3rd yr of ownership. Only issue was adjusting the trigger spring. I use RedArmor 2t oil. Bought the stihl mixing bottle & 2 in 1 sharpener. I highly recommend both. I switched over to a Skip tooth full chisel chain. Cuts alot quicker. I sharpen when I refill both the chain oil & the fuel. Make sure to refill the chain oil EVERYTIME you re-fuel. I run a NeoTec 24" bar and cut/buck/split almost 2 cords a year. I run an HF log splitter. This chainsaw was a good buy for me. I would recommend

Was somewhat skeptical. Generally only use big name saws. After first start all restarts are one pull only. I used Stihl’s (complicated) standard carburetor tuning method on it, which was necessary for 6000 feet elevation. Tuned easily. Started up before tune and ran fine without but was way rich. I’m running a 25 inch bar and it cut dry doig fir 23 inches in diameter just fine. I’ll continue to break it in and put it in some tougher wood and see how it does. Overall, it seems like a pretty sweet deal. Be aware that not all the plastic lines up great and clearly it’s not a real STIHL but it does seem to run and cut quite well. Gas cap leaks, which is lame.

Seems like good quality but the manual is atrocious, hence 1 star on "Easy to Assemble"...not even the most basic diagrams about parts, nothing on how to troublshoot if it won't start. Very poor detail for anyone, much less someone not used to this build of chainsaw.

First of all, I am not a lumberjack. Anyway, I have had this saw since early September 2022. I am just getting the chance to start it. I contacted Neo-tec to confirm gas mix to start so I did 30:1. I will run this for a bit until I get it broken in. It was simple to start I just put on the choke pull a couple times til it tried then put it in start. It fired right up. I let it idle a while then cut a few logs. This thing is strong already! I can imagine what it will do with 50:1. This saw is a replacement for my 20 inch poulan pro av5020. I'm just putting that out there but the difference is like comparing a Buick to a Ferrari. Anyway, the build quality is great from what I can see. It also has an OEM Stihl air filter. I'll amend this if I have anything different after I cut a few trees up but I don't forsee any issues.

Very dissatisfied. With first pull, it would not start. Hard time removing spark plug, which was black. Pull cord would not pull. We are blaming it on person who previous purchased. Amazon will not accept return, so we are out 500. plus $!!
