I bought this saw a year ago to maintain trails on a heavily wooded 25-acre property in NW Minnesota. It has performed very well cutting standing trees and deadfall up to about 12" diameter or occasionally a little bigger and including hardwoods and pine. It's lightweight, quiet, starts easily, and shuts down immediately when binding occurs during a cut. One charge usually outlasts my will to saw: about an hour of steady work. I also have a GW 60-volt string trimmer for about 3 years and I've been happy with that tool as well.
Works ok. Maybw it needs the bigger battery.. idk. I use it around the sawmill cutting limbs and knots. Sometimes it will just stop midway thru a cut. I have to let off the trigger for a minute then resume. It could be better.

This works great! I originally thought it would be lacking power compared to gas chainsaws I've owned but the battery units are awesome! It also feels safe with the way it winds down quickly
