Rank #3 in Best Petrol Chainsaw 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Horsepower Claims Don't Match
ParkerBrand 62cc Petrol Chainsaw, 20-inch Bar + 2 Chains
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The ParkerBrand PCS-6200 is a 62cc petrol chainsaw with a 20-inch bar, two chains, a carry bag, bar cover and tool kit, priced at £131.99. It takes third place in this guide, and it earns that spot mostly on its buyer numbers: 4.3 out of 5 from 1,507 ratings, with 67% of those ratings at five stars.
The reason it is worth a closer read is arithmetic. This listing quotes 2.6 kW and 3.5 HP from the same engine, and unlike some of the saws elsewhere in this guide, those two figures agree with each other — 2.6 kW converts to roughly 3.49 HP. It is still a 62cc engine quoting 3.5 HP in a class where the claims run from 3.0 HP to 3.8 HP for identical displacement, so treat the power figure as what the listing states, not as a measurement. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing itself, not from any test of ours.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Works well, starts quickly and deals with logs for a burner. Happy with it so far”
Verified purchase“We have more than 5 chainsaws. 3 or which are Stihl and are always breaking down and cost a fortune to get fixed,. They also never seem to start properly and always cut out.We bought some cheap saws (Parker & Mitox) and they seem to be much easier to start and run and haven't broken down yet.It wouldn't be worth getting them repaired if they did break as they are so cheap.Last April I cut up this full fallen tree in one day and it was nearly all done with the Parker .I'm not sure what brand of chain they are supplied with but it must be good as it lasted the whole day”
