Good saw so far

Had this saw for only a month; am enjoying it so far. It's lighter and less noisy than my 2-cycle gas saw, but has plenty of power. Battery life on a full charge is adequate, but don't think it lasts quite as long as a tank of gas in my gas saw.
After working for years with a gas powered chain saw ... this is a great change! No more mixing gas, no more sucking in fumes all day, no more clothes smelling like burned oil and much quieter. I will always have a need for a gas chainsaw (I live on 28 acres of forestland), but for quick jobs and pruning ... perfect. Very high quality product.
So nice to cut up the firewood and not smell all day. It works just as good as a gas model and the batteries last for over an hour of near constant cutting.When one dies I put it on the charger and itis ready to go before the other one dies. Now adding a Leafblower to my arsenal.
I got this saw for Christmas and I love it. The 60v battery matches my mower, trimmer, and blower - so it's a great fit for the garage. Would absolutely recommend. Wouldn't be great for prolonged use without extra batteries - but plenty for my level of work.
I had a tree fall in my front yard last winter during the snow. I bought this chainsaw after reading reviews online. I am beyond happy with this purchase. This chainsaw was able to take care of the fallen tree with no problems. This was the very first Greenworks purchase I had made. This product was the first of my conversion from gas powered equipment. Since then I have bought the Greenworks 21 inch 60V mower and the 60V Hedge Trimmer as well. I am now looking to buy the 60V backpack Leaf Blower for my Christmas gift to myself this year. Greenworks has been a great brand for me and I plan on converting all my power equipment to Greenworks moving forward. 5 Star Products for sure.
LOVE, LOVE my new chainsaw as well as the hedge trimmer, lawn mower, snow blower, and weed wacker I purchased this year alone. It is so beyond freeing to be able to do yard work without dragging out the horrible extension cord. LOVE LOVE!!
Received this saw, 16" 60 volts@2aHr, as a Christmas present in 2019. I was skeptical about using a battery powered device but it was a gift. I didn't get the opportunity to use it until the fall of 2020 and I was pleasantly surprised by the saw's performance. It cuts well and has adequate performance for a small saw, as good as my smaller gas powered saws. However, the chain bar bends easily and then takes a "set" causing crooked cutting. Also, the chain bar seems to wear quickly. I suggest the bar be looked at from a material standpoint, possibly a different steel alloy with a little more spring in the material. I have used the saw for about 10 battery charges and now I have to try and straighten the bar.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It’s surprising how easy it is to start. Runs like nobodies business and really gets the job done. I really like the fact that when you stop, the blade stops instantly. I have a spare battery, now all I need is a spare chain. Awesome little chainsaw!
