Is a cheap budget gas chainsaw worth buying?

Verified-purchase and YouTube reviewers report that sub-$150 saws like the 58cc VEVOR can cut firewood acceptably for occasional use, but specialist-community consensus is skeptical of longevity, parts support and tuning. r/Chainsaw regulars repeatedly note gas saws of any price are 'a pain if you're not running them regularly,' so light users may be better served by a name-brand homeowner saw or battery model.
