The editors liked
It's compact size means it's very easy to store when you're not using it
It's on wheels
So moving it from place to place is a walk in the park (even for someone in their 70s)
Does the job it was designed to
And does it extremely well every time
The 42cc two-stroke engine and the 14-inch bar slice through small hardwood pieces that give similarly sized chainsaws trouble

Hydraulic fluid (at least on mine) leaked unless it was on an incline
