very nice saw. Had trouble with chain falling off, but checked bar and it was bent. Probably due to shipping. I had spare bar and chain stayed on with no problems. Lots of power and really like they corrected the problem with the oil tank being too exposed as in earlier models. Battery life is as expected but will last pretty good on smaller logs, the larger logs do use more power. I tried to register the saw online after I got the email, but it wouldn't work, so i tried to call and see how to do it but customer service was backed up, I was on for 50 minutes and still had 12 callers ahead of me. They need to improve that area, thats why i dropped it by one star, thought about two star drop but could have been a telephone glitch on their end. Very nice product!
This is an excellent 2 way machine. The saw cuts 3 in branches easily. It's easy to handle and can reach those tough to get branches. You can switch the pole hedge trimmer very quickly. The hedge trimmer is very efficient on taller grasses and weeds. The ticker woodier hedges can cause some problems.
Cuts as good as the gas two i used to have! Only limits is the battery. I have 2 and that gets me through most jobs. Would i buy it again ?, absolutely....
By far the best lawn tool I have ever bought. Easy to use and cuts very well. Battery lasts till I'm ready to put it down then recharges quite fast. No more gas and oil. Environment friendly.
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.
