Bad purchase
on November 4, 2026
Posted by: david5269
Used this saw 3 times and it locked up quickly, started to smoke and then quit powering on at all. Felt like the gear inside that makes blade spin stripped out cause the blade would just spin by hand. Also destroyed the battery that was installed
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is definitely a must have for contractor's. I cut seven stringers for stairs with one battery. The power is very similar to a corded saw.

Good Power & Battery Performance So Far

We recently had the opportunity to try out this circular saw for a few specific DIY cuts and projects my wife had going on around the house, and so far so good. The saw felt smooth while cutting, had solid power, and kept up well throughout the cuts. One thing we immediately noticed compared to another competitor cordless saw we had previously tried was the battery performance. With the competitor brand, the battery power just honestly wasn’t there for us, so it was nice seeing this saw hold up better during use.
Pros: Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Durable, Effective, Powerful
I would recommend this to a friend!

This replaced an 18V Ryobi saw. It. Is a pleasure to use. I’m amazed at the instant blade stop upon releasing the trigger. Greenworks makes excellent tools and this is no exception!
Pros: Easy to Use, Durable, Powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Heavily discounted due to a single small crack in a location that literally doesn’t affect anything. Well worth the money

Not square
on December 22, 2025
Posted by: Acute cuts

Gender:Male
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 18 months ago. The deck is bowed and you can't adjust it to make 90 degree cuts. It's horrible inaccurate. If you are rough cutting dimensional lumber and it isn't necessary to have square cuts this would be ok, otherwise, it's pretty unimpressive.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Acute cuts.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience with the 24V 4.5" mini circular saw and the accuracy issues you have encountered.
The saw is designed for light-duty, precision trimming and quick cuts, so it should be capable of making square 90-degree cuts when properly adjusted. A bowed or misaligned base plate is not expected and would understandably affect performance and cut accuracy. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

They can be reached either using the online chat function, on Greenworks Tools page, accessible by clicking “Chat Now” in the bottom corner of your screen, Chat with a Live Agent or by calling 1-888-909-6757.
