Overall a nice tool for weekend yard maintenance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I used this in my backyard to manage some brush and a fig tree it worked great. Absolutely no complaints and did the lighter weight tasks with ease. The battery took about an hour to fully charge out of the box (it has cooling fan in the charger) and held its charge while I tinkered around the yard.
When I took this to our ranch and tried cutting down some fairly sizable mesquite trees I ran into some problems. The battery life didn't last nearly as long as I'd experienced running it in my back yard with lighter more intermittent needs. Additionally the chain got caught and bent a few tangs on the drive links. That pretty much ended my use on the project as we were in the middle of the country with limited tool sets. Poor planning on my part.
If you're going to use this tool for more heavy duty cutting and labor then be prepared to have at lease one back up battery and proper maintenance support for an active job. If you're using this tool to maintain a lawn or do light weight work around your house it's a terrific alternative to a gas powered chain saw.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my husband as a Christmas present and he’s in love! He’s been talking about wanting a chainsaw for a while so after searching for a while I found this one and figured it would be perfect as he already has a few products from Greenworks. He says the handle is really comfortable to hold, the chainsaw works really effectively and precisely and he loves that it came with the battery and charger! This was definitely the perfect tool to add to his collection and he couldn’t be happier and I’m happy I picked such a great gift for him!

I’m impressed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this chain saw. Yesterday I made about 18 cuts on mostly larger sized oak and other trees. I am impressed with the power and simplicity of this saw. I really like how it is not too loud and is silent between cuts. After the cuts I made there was still half of the battery charge left and it recharged in about 30 minutes. Overall, way better than the plugged in and gas saws I’ve used recently.

Surprised by how well it worked!

Bought the Gen2 60v chainsaw on 1/2/20 after reading reviews and online research for about a month. I finally got tired of my heavy duty gas chainsaw not working when I needed it to from sitting up for most of the year.
1/3/20 I put it to the test with a large 10" oak limb that had fallen in a friend's yard and chopped it up without any issues on a cold and wet day, then went home and trimmed up my crapmyrtles and a holly tree in my flowerbed. I had a total of about 30 minutes of run time and 1 bar left on the battery. Overall I was throughly impressed with it and look forward to using it a bit more here soon down at my deer lease cutting a few new trails.
For the average homeowner who cuts a couple trees a year for firewood or some fallen limbs every year, this chainsaw is the way to go!
I wish I had the 1st gen 60v chainsaw just so I could really compare the difference between them to see the improvements in this newer model.

Great chainsaw

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great chain!!! Love that is cordless and I can charge the battery. I trimmed my bush because it was too high and this chainsaw did the job. It’s very easy to use and very easy to maneuver. I really like that it’s lightweight because I can easily lift it to trim my bushes.

Powerful for being cordless and GREEN

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty easy for a woman to use however you need to obtain and fill up the oil first. I was amazed that I could start it right up without any hesitation. Although I have never used a chainsaw I found this one to be Uber user friendly. The only real problem I encountered was the battery was to hit to put on the charger when it needed a charge, so I had to let it cool down first then put it on the charger. Apart from the heat from the battery the only other thing was the chain got very loose after a few minutes of use but there was a handy chain adjusting tool that was included with the saw so it was again a very simple fix. I would recommend this tool to anyone who has a use for it male or female. The last point of positivity I will mention is that the battery works with 40 other tools so it is definitely a model of efficiency.

Works well for what I need it for

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This chainsaw worked great for what I needed it for. We have some tree branches (large and small) that have fallen in a few storms. I was able to charge and use this chainsaw to cut those in to smaller pieces for firewood. I am not sure that it would last long if I had to do any larger/thicker pieces, but it worked perfect for what I will need it for.

Easy to use but low battery life

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just started using this product this weekend to hack down some taller stumps in my backyard. It was effective on them, but the battery life left something to be desired; I tried taking down 3 stumps with it and had to charge it twice in the process. Overall, it was lightweight and easy to use, however.
