I loved this chainsaw until I didn't. The oil reservoir split at the neck where the two sides were formed together. It now leaks very badly. The more you tighten, the wider that split gets. I can slow it down to a slow drip by screwing in the cap just until I feel it meeting the neck
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my chainsaw! I have put to good use over the past year with absolutely no issues. A tree feel in our church parking lot and the 60v 16’ made quick work of it to clear the lot.
Bought new. Used first time and after awhile it would stop working. After waiting a few minutes it would work again but only for a few more Minutes and stop again. Overheating?? Either way huge disappointment. Bar chain oil was at good level and battery too.
Pros: Convenient

Hello Clos,
Thank you for taking the time to share you experience. There could be a few reasons this may be happening. We suggesting trying the troubleshooting suggestions below. If these do not resolve the issue, please contact Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934.
1. The machine is in the protection mode to protect the PCB. Try this: Release the trigger and start the machine again. Do not force the machine to cut. 2. The battery is not charged. Try this: Charge the battery. Refer to the battery and charge manual for correct charging procedures. 3. The chain is not lubricated. Try this: Lubricate the chain to decrease the friction. Do not let the guide bar and the chain operate without sufficient oil. The whole oil tank will last for approximately 20- 40 minutes. 4. Incorrect battery storage temperature. Try this: Cool the battery pack until it decreases to the ambient temperature.
I bought this on December 1 2022 didn't use it until March 2023. After 10 minutes of using the saw chain jumped and deformed to the point it would no longer go back on the bar. Customer service would not do anything becauce it was over 90 days. Joke product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your review cozman. We regret to hear that you do not recommend this product. Some issues can be tricky to diagnose over the phone as issues can present in different ways. Unfortunately, we are not sure of each customer's expertise with our units, so we do just need to confirm basic troubleshooting procedures before determining the proper course of action. There is truly no intent to disappoint our customers, sometimes the solution is at the end of their fingertips but can easily be overlooked. Troubleshooting, photos, or video can help provide immediate resolutions to customers, instead of just sending parts which may not fix the issue if it is a potential user error. We see that you have been in touch and Customer experience team are working towards resolving the concerns that you have brought to our attention in a timely manner. Please keep an eye out for an email from us shortly so that we can further support you. If you have not yet heard back from us, please check your junk or spam folder our response may have landed there.
Product was defective. Had to return it. Customer service was awesome, though. Please note, I have purchased two more chainsaws from green Works and both of those turned out to be defective as well. Those were 80 V pros.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

More powerful than I expected! Sliced right through the log length firewood I had delivered. I am a senior citizen and had no trouble using this saw. If a little old lady can use it, so can you.
