Rank #1 in Best Petrol Chainsaw 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Horsepower Claims Don't Match
Hyundai 62cc Petrol Chainsaw, 20-inch Bar (HYC6200X)
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Hyundai HYC6200X is a 62cc two-stroke petrol chainsaw with a 20in (50cm) bar, and it takes first place in this guide. It is listed at £109.99 with 4.2 out of 5 from 1,324 ratings, a 3 year Hyundai platinum warranty and two chains in the box.
The interesting part of this fiche is what the numbers do and don't say. The listing claims 3 Horsepower, but that figure appears only in the specification table — the five selling bullets use the word "powerful" three times between them and never attach a number to it. Across the 62cc class this guide covers, the claims run from 3.0 HP to 3.8 HP, so the Hyundai sits at the bottom of that range while running the same engine size as saws claiming 0.8 HP more. The figure that does hold up is the buyer count: 1,324 ratings at 4.2 out of 5, split with 67 in the five-star bar against 11 in the one-star bar — those five bars add up to 100, so read them as proportions of the ratings rather than as counts.
Every specification, price and rating on this page is taken from the Amazon listing. None of it comes from a saw we tested ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Seems strong and well built.assembly straight forward if you are familiar with chain saws.Started well.Felled a 14" Ash tree with no problem, sufficient power.Spare chain provided too.”
Verified purchase“After borrowing a friends Stihl chainsaw I thought it's about time I got my own. After research this product seemed good value for money and the reviews were positive so I got one. I have to say I'm very impressed. Very easy to assemble, 40:1 fuel mix, 5 pumps of the fuel bulb from new to fill up with fuel and 5 pulls of the cord and it started first time. The chain did need adjusting quite a few times at first but seemed to settle in and it does say in the manual this may need doing. It's easy to fill with oil and with fuel. I did 3 hours continuous cutting of old oak sleepers into fire wood and it coped really well. Some people have said it doesn't start when hot but I've had no problems it's starts first pull every time. I did have adjust the idle screw which is easy accessible and use the screw driver in the tool kit provided. The sharpening file isn't very good so well worth buying one when you buy the saw. I'd say it's great value and is a really good saw and I would go as far to say it cuts better than my friends Stihl. The 62CC engine gives it that bit more cutting power which you really do notice.”

How have buyers rated the Hyundai HYC6200X?
4.2 out of 5 from 1,324 ratings. The star breakdown shows 67 in the five-star bar and 11 in the one-star bar, but those five bars total 100 while the headline figure is 1,324, so treat the bars as shares of the ratings rather than as raw counts.
