LOVE IT! Great for quick branch cutting and more serious tree cutting projects. Lighter than my gas powered unit. With my other Greenworks tools, I just carry a spare battery along with me for longer cutting jobs. Not having to mess around trying to get a gas powered unit to start is great so I don't procrastinate in doing things. I'm a true believer in Greenworks products.
This is my second 60V Greenworks chainsaw as the first died from corrosion on the throttle switch wiring. The current design is modified/improved in some aspects. It still handles well and is comfortable those who operate gas saws. I am having an issue with my chain jumping off the bar, when this happens the chain drive teeth get so beaten up that they will not fit back into the bar & I end up grinding the burrs off. It may just be this chain as I have yet to get a second chain or try my 16" bar. I feel the Greenworks is a better value compared to Milwakee but the verdict is still out on longevity. My first saw had electrolytic capacitors in a potted "control brick", this worries me as it well know that electrolytics wear out & need replacement.
Gave it 3 stars, due to the battery draining faster than advertised.
Otherwise, I own many other greenworks products, and they work well.

If your wanting a little lady saw don’t buy this. It’s too powerful for anyone other than a home lumberjack this is my second Greenworks tool the first one was an 8’ pole saw. They all deliver more power than I could ever hope for.
Bought the Pro 60V chainsaw to replace my gas chain saw. Works great,nicely balanced ,powerful long lasting battery. Cut 14" tree with ease, and is much quieter than gas. Plus I believe much safer to operate.
