Default Chain Saw durability

Denis, I think that if they have to tell you how durable they are, then they
have a problem.... I don't know sears, but, I burnt out 2 polins in one
week. I got them at Canadian tire and after buring the first one out in one
day, I took it back and bitched to the manager, He credited me the cost of
the first one against the purchace of the best one in the store.... ANYHOW,
a couple of days later, it went in the dumpster and I went back to the
Huskyvarna store for a thousand dollar saw, it is still running three years
later with no repairs other then several chains and couple of bars....

The stylles are good, but, I put my money on Huskies.....

Yesterday, I was looking at Sears Craftsman chain saw. On the label it

read
42cc and durability: 50 hours period. Poulan's label also reads: 40cc and
durability 50 hours period.
Does this mean that its intended for 50 hours of use over time or

continuos
usage?
At the STIHL dealer a 16" chain saw label reads 38cc and no mention of the
durability?
The price tag of a STIHL is two to three time of a Craftsman or Poulan

Pro.
I am only a beginner and I am not going to be cutting blanks 5 days of the
week. On the other hand buying a chain saw that would need replacement

soon
after may not be the best of investment. I would benefit from comments
