Very good power and easily handles large branches. I also like to onboard tool storage, that was very handy working from a lift when adjustments are needed
Used to remove several large silver maple limbs. A few days later they were bucked up using the 60v chainsaw. Pole saw performed well. The same battery ran the pole saw and chainsaw - battery still had some power when finished!
So far I've only used to cut up several large silver maple limbs that I had removed using the 60v pole saw. Saw performed beautifully and cuts were effortless. The same battery ran the pole saw and chainsaw - battery still had some power when finished!
Great, but would be incredible with a bigger battery

Battery lasts long enough for cutting down and processing a small-medium sized tree. The chainsaw itself works great. Gets bogged down a bit more than a gas one, but if you take your time and dont try to force it, then it works pretty well.
I purchased the Pro 60 volt pole saw. I did have top wait until Greenworks got the 60 volt version back in stock. I have other 60 volt products, chainsaw, blower, weed eater. All work great so far, much more convenient than my old gas machines.
Awesome chain saw. Definitely made a believer out of me that battery can replace gas for this tool! My only two issues: the chain gets loose quickly (easy to adjust with the included tool) and the 2.5 Ah battery is a little small if you are doing a lot of cutting. Fortunately, I also have a Greenworks mower, so I just stuck that battery in the saw for extra work time.
I bought the chainsaw over a year ago with little experience with chainsaws. I'm not a quick learner but to my amazement this chainsaw cut through all types of wood from Ash to Maple to Pine like butter and I'm taking pretty substantial trees. The ease of use, ease of maintenance is second to none. This a must have tool for anyone who wants to avoid the cost of hiring to cut trees down.
