Chinese chainsaw, how will it perform?

I have a 460 I got from @jeepinmatt that is in the shop again. I use it to mill with and I think it's just a tad too small for the 36" bar I recently put on it. I've been thinking about getting a 660 or 500I but I stumbled across these and have been contemplating one because of price.

36” bar is certainly 90cc saw territory IMO
 
OK, here is the update. The 892 is a bad ass saw! I know I have only used it a few days, but so far zero complaints. It is made to saw, not trim with...lol it is heavy. You cant be a sissy and starting this thing, that is for sure. It has started with a couple pulls, hot or cold each time. The chain is holding up extremely well too. Like others have said, time will tell. But with the parts readily available to repair anything that is wrong with it, you cannot beat the price. I may pull the trigger on the 36" bar to not have to make 2 cuts on this big shit and just so I can say, yea, it is a 36" :D I will add some pics here in a few minutes.
Here is the saw

Bought a cheap ($35) beam cutter attachment from Northern tools today to cut some boards for a chicken coop.

Yep, now I have decided I am going to also buy an Alaskan sawmill, and probably one of these Chinese 066's to go with it.

I have been looking on FB marketplace for a Stihl 066/MS660/MS661 but for the cost people want for what may be an old worn out saw, I am probably just going to go Chinese....

Thought I took a video with my temu saw…. Things freaking ripped through a big oak. Will try again later. Kinda excited about the saw that’s cheap enough to get stolen

Touch less than $550 shipped.
Saw, 35" bar, 1 ripping chain, 3 regular chains, and an Alaskan mill. Fingers crossed!

With a 36” bar you only get about 30” of cut. You can put the saw end fairly close but the chain end needs to be inside the end sprocket. Which is why I want a 660 and a bigger bar.
