I was skeptical about the claims it would have the same power as a gas saw so I was pleasantly surprised by the power it has. I've only used it once so far but love how much less it vibrates and how much quieter it is than my previous gas saws. And the fact you can just squeeze the trigger and don't have to struggle to start it is the best part. I'll never buy a gas powered tool again!!
Had this saw for only a month; am enjoying it so far. It's lighter and less noisy than my 2-cycle gas saw, but has plenty of power. Battery life on a full charge is adequate, but don't think it lasts quite as long as a tank of gas in my gas saw.
After working for years with a gas powered chain saw ... this is a great change! No more mixing gas, no more sucking in fumes all day, no more clothes smelling like burned oil and much quieter. I will always have a need for a gas chainsaw (I live on 28 acres of forestland), but for quick jobs and pruning ... perfect. Very high quality product.
I was sceptical running this saw at first and thought there was no way the battery would last as long as I needed it to. But I have used it a couple of times with the intent to drain the battery and work as long as I could but the battery out lasted the work on both occasions. I am pleasantly surprised and see no reason to go back to gas chainsaw. I will recommend this chainsaw to anyone and I plan to try the other greenworks tools as well
Bar is thin, bar at backend is narrow and chain walks off. Not safe as shipped.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I got this saw for Christmas and I love it. The 60v battery matches my mower, trimmer, and blower - so it's a great fit for the garage. Would absolutely recommend. Wouldn't be great for prolonged use without extra batteries - but plenty for my level of work.
