To be honest I was sceptical that this would be a powerful enough for the job I had of felling numerous trees. I am more than pleased with the performance and durability.
I was skeptical but now that I have used it on a downed maple tree I would say that it’s definitely as powerful as my similar size has saw and with the 4amp hr battery it really did a lot of work before it went dead
Saw runs well and chain holds relatively sharp for long time. Would like auto tensioning. There is no info on overcharging by charger after solid green.
We recently moved from a condo to a more rural setting and had to get all new power equipment. I decided that I'd rather buy battery tools than start all over again with gas and bought this saw along with the polesaw and couldn't be happier. We needed to take down about 12 smaller diameter trees that were either dead or too close to the house and read about how highly rated this saw was. This saw had all the power needed to do the job. The battery has a long life in fact I ran out of energy before the battery did. The chain stayed nice and tight throughout and the battery charges relatively fast. I would highly recommend this for any occasional use applications. It may have the power to do even more but I haven't tried anything like that yet.
Great saw. This is replacing a gas chainsaw that was always a hassle to mix gas and get running. I had a couple other 60V Greenworks tools and have been very happy with them. This saw was not a disappointment.
Chainsaw cuts great when working, but twice in the first 20 minutes of use the chain jumped off the bar. Normally, would be no big deal, and would just put it back on. However, both times about 4-5 drive links we distorted and the chain would not fit back in the bar and was inoperable. Ruined 2 chains before finishing one small pine tree. Also, chain had been properly tightened before each chain job.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was reluctant to try cordless chainsaw but wow glad I did, so far its cut with ease some decent sized stumps left by the previous house owner. I only wish the battery lasted a bit longer but for what I'm doing it's sufficient. Nothing 2 batteries won't solve for me.they do charge fast.
