[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using this for a month now. I was a little worried that it would be heavier than a gas powered saw as the battery would have to be pretty large have enough power to cut into large branches. It was no heavier than a gas powered saw and it was balanced nicely. It has more than enough power to cut through the 6" branches that I originally needed to prune down off of our tree.
I also have been throwing it into the trailer when we take off on a road trip and it is a handy tool to have around when you are away from the city and need the convenience of a chainsaw without the mess of mixing gas or carrying a long extension cord. The ease of using this when away from home sold me on this product.
I have never used this for more than an hour so I don't have any stats on how long the battery lasts. It has not died on me in any of the times I have pulled it out to use it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the Greenworks Pro 16' cordless chainsaw for about a month, and I have to say, I will never go back to a gas powered saw. First, it is so easy to start, no more yanking on a cord. Second, it is so much quieter than a gas powered saw, I don't need hearing protection when using this saw. Third, no more nasty gasoline fumes! The battery charged quickly, and holds a charge well. It is a "smart" charger, so there are no worries about overcharging. I have used it to clear small to medium trees and brush, and it works like a charm! This senior citizen highly recommends investing in this chainsaw.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having electric tools is a must for me and not having a cord is the cherry on top. This works great for around the house work. I live in an area with lots of trees and open space and many times i have to do some cleanup around the outside of the house. This was able to break down trees no problem and used it for larger branch trimming as well. If you want something for the average user this is the product for you
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This chainsaw is great. Obviously being battery powered it is not going to have the same umph that a gas powered does but this is great nonetheless. We have some crape myrtle trees and a some oak trees on our property and this gets the job done. I am only using it to cut branches a few inches in diameter but sure beats the heck out of using a handsaw.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Electric power tools have come a long way baby - the Greenworks Pro chainsaw absolutely blew my socks off! We have had so many issues with regular chainsaws always breaking down on us. They are loud, smelly, leaky, and need constant maintenance. I honestly was not sure what to expect from an electric chainsaw. All you need to get going is to charge the battery, put in chain oil, and then go to town on cutting stuff down. And man, this thing is so powerful! It is comparable to a gas powered chainsaw, no question. The blade is super sharp and cut right through several 6” trees like butter. One of the best things was the (lack of) super loud noise. Yes, there is noise when sawing, but it’s significantly quieter than a regular chainsaw and there is no engine sound between cuttings - you aren’t going to drive your neighbors crazy. There is a chain lock safety feature that gives me peace of mind and it’s so simple and convenient to use. The battery lasts quite a while and includes a digital display to tell how much battery you have left. In my book, this is a total replacement for gas powered chainsaw for homeowners. We haven’t gotten to try it on larger trees yet so I can’t speak to how it would work for a professional, but I feel pretty confident it could handle much larger jobs. Make sure to charge the battery in your garage or in another room - the charger is big and powerful and includes a fan. I almost forgot the Amazing 4 YEAR WARRANTY which even includes the battery! I would recommend Greenworks Pro chainsaws to anyone!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was tired of dealing with my gas chainsaw, having to mix the oil and gas and overall maintenance. This electric chainsaw is much easier to use. I was a bit skeptical of having enough power to get the job done, but this chainsaw really works well and I did not run out of battery during any of my tasks. Great chainsaw!
Had for about 2 years, bought 2nd battery. Use one have one charging. I have a bad shoulder and I'm fed up with the aggravation of starting a gas chainsaw. Hate trying to start them on the ground or in a tree. This one is for me!!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Greenworks 16" chainsaw is the perfect tool for trimming small trees branches off trunk. Cut 10" diameter tree branches easily. Battery life good for approximately one hour on and off use. Battery charger has a built in fan to keep the unit cool during charging. Good feature cause you know when it is done charging when the fan goes off. Great to not have to deal with gas engine noise and smell. Weight; not light but manageable. 5/5 Recommend.
