[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This saw makes impressive cuts! The issue is it only lasts for about 20 minutes and the battery is hot and needs to be recharged. It is also not piling the chain AT ALL !!! The oil port gets clogged at the first cut!! The chain runs dry, the battery doesn't last and take a hour to cool, then another hour to charge! Not a good usable tool. It does cut really well in the first few cuts though.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are glad to hear the saw provides strong cutting performance, though we understand the challenges you have described. The battery runtime depends on material density and cutting technique; hardwoods and larger diameters will naturally reduce runtime. It’s also normal for lithium-ion batteries to heat up during heavy use when this happens, most chargers will not begin recharging until the pack cools to a safe temperature, which can add time between uses. Regarding the oiling system, the chain requires consistent lubrication for proper operation. If the oil port becomes clogged, the chain can quickly run dry. To avoid this, we recommend checking and cleaning the oil reservoir cap and port before use, and using a high-quality bar and chain oil. Regular maintenance helps prevent sawdust buildup that can block the flow. Running the saw without proper lubrication can shorten both chain and bar life. For extended cutting sessions, having a second charged battery available can help reduce downtime while one pack cools and recharges. We hope you will find this information useful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very impressive power and smoothness. Cuts beautifully. I stalled for years keeping my beloved old two cycle saw; now wish I had traded up sooner!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this saw AND the 80V 20” saw about 3 weeks. They do everything I need! I use the 16” for the limbs and 30” for the logs. I have 7 Greenworks tools have not had a disappointment yet.
