Last week I ordered this chainsaw after we were devastated by a very severe storm. It arrived yesterday and I helped my neighbor with his downed trees. This saw was half as loud as his gas powered chain saw and more powerful. It cut the downed trees into firewood for another neighbor almost twice as fast as my neighbors traditional gas powered saw. The best part it was basically the same price as my neighbors unit that it out performed.
Ok, this saw is awesome. You can feel the power just hitting the power button... cut thru limbs so fast now I need to find something else to cut up. And all without the noise.
If anyone ever says that you have to have gasoline to have a "real" chainsaw, show 'em this bad boy! This high powered device is faster than the gasoline powered saw we used to use. We have Ironwood trees that are very hard and very heavy. It chopped the fallen logs like they were softwood. Plus the battery powered devices don't waste energy when they are sitting idle.
I bought this saw last winter and was pleased at the power and how long the battery lasted. i was able to cut oak firewood 14 inches in diameter nearly as rapidly as with a 16" gas powered chainsaw. A weakness of this saw is how easily the chain jumps off the bar. This saw is not good for limbing or brush cutting.
I purchased a 60 volt chainsaw and the chain tensioner failed. other then that the product has been great. I called and spoke with CSR237 who was very friendly and assisted me in getting a replacement. very good customer service. Would give 5 stars if it did not fail. But was remedied with the 4 year warrenty.
I bought this a month ago to deal with some sizable dead tree branches after I could not get my 2 gas chainsaws to start and remain running. I was very impressed by the power packed in the 60V battery.
