Powerful quiet chainsaw

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a surprisingly powerful chainsaw. The battery is light weight and holds charge for about 2 hours if you're using it constantly. It is easy to use. Love that it is cordless. The entire thing is not very heavy and it is amazing how quiet it is for a chainsaw. Great tool!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This chainsaw is just as powerful if not more so than my 45cc gas powered saw and zero-emissions and much lower noise! It came with a 2Ah battery and charger in the box. I recently trimmed my palm tree and cut through the pods and fronds with ease. I spent about an hour running the saw pretty much non-stop and was left with half battery. I later cut down an old play structure and chopped the 4x4 posts to fit in the trash can. This saw seems to be able to handle just about anything I can throw at it. It has an automatic oiler and keeps the chain constantly oiled, extending the life of the chain and the saw. As the saw is completely push button electric, there is no more fatigue due to pull cords / stopping and starting. The pro-style grip is ergonomic and comfortable for cutting at all angles. Very impressed with the power and the cutting ability. Great tool, good for the environment, and easy to use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This chainsaw is great. It's pretty powerful for its size and does its job. It's lightweight, very easy to operate and durable. I wish it came with an owner manual and an extra battery, however it does charge pretty quick. I used this to cut down branches and wood. It's got a good power for a chainsaw this small. I like it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Greenworks Pro 16 in. Cordless Chainsaw is a power packed battery operated chainsaw that is great for many different jobs. I needed a chainsaw for light duty tasks around the tasks, such a cutting down smaller trees and limbs. This chainsaw doesn't hesitate a beat!
The fact that this chainsaw doesn't use gas makes it so much more convenient and easier to use. All you need is oil and the charged battery and she's ready to go. The battery takes about an hour to charge up and then you get a lot of use out of it before having to recharge it. It hasn't died on me yet, and when I'm done I charge up the battery for next time. If I ever needed to do a longer job I could just get another battery so I could work continuously. The best part is that since there is no gas, that also means there is no pullcord. All this chainsaw needs is the push of a button and she fires right up.
I was hesitant that it wouldn't be as powerful as gas chainsaw but I was definitely wrong. This chainsaw packs a nice punch and is more than powerful enough to get most jobs done easily. It chews to wood like butter which is the most important aspect of any chainsaw. With all of this being said, I could not be happier with the Greenworks Pro 16in. Cordless Chainsaw.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I used this in my backyard to manage some brush and a fig tree it worked great. Absolutely no complaints and did the lighter weight tasks with ease. The battery took about an hour to fully charge out of the box (it has cooling fan in the charger) and held its charge while I tinkered around the yard.
When I took this to our ranch and tried cutting down some fairly sizable mesquite trees I ran into some problems. The battery life didn't last nearly as long as I'd experienced running it in my back yard with lighter more intermittent needs. Additionally the chain got caught and bent a few tangs on the drive links. That pretty much ended my use on the project as we were in the middle of the country with limited tool sets. Poor planning on my part.
If you're going to use this tool for more heavy duty cutting and labor then be prepared to have at lease one back up battery and proper maintenance support for an active job. If you're using this tool to maintain a lawn or do light weight work around your house it's a terrific alternative to a gas powered chain saw.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my husband as a Christmas present and he’s in love! He’s been talking about wanting a chainsaw for a while so after searching for a while I found this one and figured it would be perfect as he already has a few products from Greenworks. He says the handle is really comfortable to hold, the chainsaw works really effectively and precisely and he loves that it came with the battery and charger! This was definitely the perfect tool to add to his collection and he couldn’t be happier and I’m happy I picked such a great gift for him!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this chain saw. Yesterday I made about 18 cuts on mostly larger sized oak and other trees. I am impressed with the power and simplicity of this saw. I really like how it is not too loud and is silent between cuts. After the cuts I made there was still half of the battery charge left and it recharged in about 30 minutes. Overall, way better than the plugged in and gas saws I’ve used recently.
Bought the Gen2 60v chainsaw on 1/2/20 after reading reviews and online research for about a month. I finally got tired of my heavy duty gas chainsaw not working when I needed it to from sitting up for most of the year.
1/3/20 I put it to the test with a large 10" oak limb that had fallen in a friend's yard and chopped it up without any issues on a cold and wet day, then went home and trimmed up my crapmyrtles and a holly tree in my flowerbed. I had a total of about 30 minutes of run time and 1 bar left on the battery. Overall I was throughly impressed with it and look forward to using it a bit more here soon down at my deer lease cutting a few new trails.
For the average homeowner who cuts a couple trees a year for firewood or some fallen limbs every year, this chainsaw is the way to go!
I wish I had the 1st gen 60v chainsaw just so I could really compare the difference between them to see the improvements in this newer model.
