I bought this after we had a contractor cut up a tree that fell down in a storm recently.
I couldn't be happier that I did. This chainsaw (I bought the "tool only) is light and easy to use, comes with oil so you can get to cutting right away, is relatively quiet and odorless...it's great! honestly I couldn't wait to use it and was thrilled to see it arrive.
I used it on a pine tree that was about 12-18" wide and had little difficulty. I plan on using it mostly for that purpose. I have a lot of brush to clear in the backyard. Thanks Greenworks!
Quiet, reliable and easy to use. Pop in a your battery and it's ready to go. It's relatively lightweight. It chewed right through a downed limb in my yard. Look forward to using it again.
The pole saw, hedge trimmer and extension is amazing! The design has a hook to hang it from the ladder steps and the length is just enough to not be too heavy, nice power and excellent results for my Douglas Fir trimming projects!!
Very light duty but I works. I guess it needed 2 screws to hold the bar

Chain came off at least 5 times in first 30 minutes. It has only 1 stud holding the bar in place. It might work better with 2 studs. I tried tensioning the chain more loose and more tight - the best I could do was tighten it then drop back 1/2 turn on tensioner screw. I like that it has a long pole and has the battery in the base part so the chainsaw part isn't too heavy. It is pretty light duty.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello DougG123,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you have experienced an issue with the chain not staying on. New chains tend to stretch; so be sure to check the chain tension frequently and tension as required. However, be sure to never tension a warm chain before storing as chains shrink when cooling and this can damage the chain, bar, and saw. Please ensure that when you remove the side cover that the following parts are there and in order: sprocket (chain wheel), chain wheel washer, and finally the c-clip/retaining ring. These parts are imperative when it comes to keeping the chain on. If you notice any of these parts missing or you are still experiencing issues, please kindly visit our website and use the customer contact page to send us a message or give us a call at 1-888-909-6757, we would be happy to assist you with this matter!
