[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No combustion engine, no long power cord to deal with. Just a simple, well balanced, portable and powerful chainsaw. It does require lube oil, which does not come with the chainsaw, so make sure you have some! The battery is simple to insert and remove as well as simple to charge. There isn't much more to it, and that is what is so great. We have lots of large old trees in our yard and occasional heavy winds and storms. These storms bring down size-able limbs that have always been a hassle to deal with. I have tried breaking them by hand and foot, manually sawing them, paying a lawn crew to take care of it, and borrowing a neighbor's chainsaw. I haven't wanted to deal with the hassle of having a gasoline or corded electric version, and I don't have quite enough call for using it to pull the trigger on getting one of those. When I saw this one, I had to try it. I am glad I did. It was easy, clean, and fast to walk around to the backyard, set up the branch and slice it into chunks I could put at the street. Now, I am the neighbor that can help others when they have limbs down, and we don't have to go searching for outdoor outlets, worry about having gas on hand, or put an inevitably messy gasoline chainsaw in my car. This is a great and convenient power tool. I look forward to switching to more battery powered big tools as the technology continues to advance.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The idea of a battery operated chainsaw seemed too good to be true, but I was pleasantly surprised! I wanted to try this, not only for the ease of no gas hassle, but it is also fairly lightweight and easier for a woman to handle. It is a great tool for tree trimming. Getting an extra battery helps keep the project going. (The battery charges in 30 mins!). Also, follow the recommendation to drain the oil.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using this for a month now. I was a little worried that it would be heavier than a gas powered saw as the battery would have to be pretty large have enough power to cut into large branches. It was no heavier than a gas powered saw and it was balanced nicely. It has more than enough power to cut through the 6" branches that I originally needed to prune down off of our tree.
I also have been throwing it into the trailer when we take off on a road trip and it is a handy tool to have around when you are away from the city and need the convenience of a chainsaw without the mess of mixing gas or carrying a long extension cord. The ease of using this when away from home sold me on this product.
I have never used this for more than an hour so I don't have any stats on how long the battery lasts. It has not died on me in any of the times I have pulled it out to use it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the Greenworks Pro 16' cordless chainsaw for about a month, and I have to say, I will never go back to a gas powered saw. First, it is so easy to start, no more yanking on a cord. Second, it is so much quieter than a gas powered saw, I don't need hearing protection when using this saw. Third, no more nasty gasoline fumes! The battery charged quickly, and holds a charge well. It is a "smart" charger, so there are no worries about overcharging. I have used it to clear small to medium trees and brush, and it works like a charm! This senior citizen highly recommends investing in this chainsaw.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having electric tools is a must for me and not having a cord is the cherry on top. This works great for around the house work. I live in an area with lots of trees and open space and many times i have to do some cleanup around the outside of the house. This was able to break down trees no problem and used it for larger branch trimming as well. If you want something for the average user this is the product for you
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This chainsaw is great. Obviously being battery powered it is not going to have the same umph that a gas powered does but this is great nonetheless. We have some crape myrtle trees and a some oak trees on our property and this gets the job done. I am only using it to cut branches a few inches in diameter but sure beats the heck out of using a handsaw.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Electric power tools have come a long way baby - the Greenworks Pro chainsaw absolutely blew my socks off! We have had so many issues with regular chainsaws always breaking down on us. They are loud, smelly, leaky, and need constant maintenance. I honestly was not sure what to expect from an electric chainsaw. All you need to get going is to charge the battery, put in chain oil, and then go to town on cutting stuff down. And man, this thing is so powerful! It is comparable to a gas powered chainsaw, no question. The blade is super sharp and cut right through several 6” trees like butter. One of the best things was the (lack of) super loud noise. Yes, there is noise when sawing, but it’s significantly quieter than a regular chainsaw and there is no engine sound between cuttings - you aren’t going to drive your neighbors crazy. There is a chain lock safety feature that gives me peace of mind and it’s so simple and convenient to use. The battery lasts quite a while and includes a digital display to tell how much battery you have left. In my book, this is a total replacement for gas powered chainsaw for homeowners. We haven’t gotten to try it on larger trees yet so I can’t speak to how it would work for a professional, but I feel pretty confident it could handle much larger jobs. Make sure to charge the battery in your garage or in another room - the charger is big and powerful and includes a fan. I almost forgot the Amazing 4 YEAR WARRANTY which even includes the battery! I would recommend Greenworks Pro chainsaws to anyone!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was tired of dealing with my gas chainsaw, having to mix the oil and gas and overall maintenance. This electric chainsaw is much easier to use. I was a bit skeptical of having enough power to get the job done, but this chainsaw really works well and I did not run out of battery during any of my tasks. Great chainsaw!
