Great saw and system, but Greenworks REALLY need to work on their packing for shipping! Slapping a label on a thin retail that's not even taped close is one of the worst was to ship I've seen in a while!
The saw runs good. It will do what you want it to do. The only draw back is the battery. If you run the saw hard, the 2.5 Amh bat does not last that long. Took 3 stop and charges to cut up a 25' black Walnut tree. That's why I'm giving this product only 4 stars. Nothing wrong with the machine only battery consumption.
If you plan on using this saw heavy have 2 batteries.
Not sure why they don't sell them with a standard 2 batteries?
The Pole saw is an excellent tool addition for taking care of our natural home on the coast of Maine. The 60 volt unit has sufficient power. The battery power was over 50 percent after my outing of trimming around the property.
My partner and I have a roughly two-acre wooded lot with mixed pine, mostly lodgepole and ponderosa. I’ve used gas-powered chainsaws in the past, but didn’t like the hassle of mixing gas and oil, the noise, and the hard starting. Before purchasing my Greenworks Pro 60V 16-inch bar chainsaw, I was fortunate to be able to borrow 24V 14-inch bar and 80V 18-inch bar Greenworks saws from two friends. The knowledge I gained from using these two saws on general cleanup around the property led me to the Pro 60V 16-inch saw as the perfectly sized saw for my needs. The unit arrived well-packaged with everything needed to get started, including a small bottle of chain oil. The instruction manuals were easy to follow. The saw is super easy to operate and convenient to use. This saw has completely replaced the gas-powered saws in my tool shed! I produced a video review of the unboxing and a demo of the new saw on a 12-inch lodgepole that had recently blown down on the property.
