[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been planning to upgrade my 40v 12" chainsaw for a while. The recent ice storm and a lot of tree damage caused me to finally make the change. It is significantly more powerful than the 40v. The longer bar enabled me to handle much more and faster than i could have with the 40v. However, I find the tension to be rather finicky and needing constant adjustment. Multiple times the chain has skipped out and damaged the teeth section that holds in the bar groove. Even to the point of needing to Dremel the burrs that formed down before it could fit back into the groove.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I owned other Greenworks 60-volt tools, and they all work great, so I thought I would try the chainsaw. I owned smaller battery chainsaws; they worked, but were slow. The Greenworks chainsaw arrived. I plugged in the battery and went to test it; it worked excellently. As good as, if not better than, my small gas-powered chainsaw, but without all the starting problems. I cut branches between 9 & 10 inches like butter, could not believe it. Very Nice Chainsaw.
Purchased one in November - got some use out of it, but the power had intermittent interruptions. I could be cutting or not cutting and the power would interrupt for no reason. I might have to release and depress the safety and the trigger multiple times to get started again. Eventually it stopped working. Trash.
Pros: Quiet
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great. 60V to match my snow blower, weed eater, and leaf blower. Interchangeable batteries are great.
I have about 2 hours of use time on the saw. Battery life is okay. Bar is poorly designed. Roller at end has too small of a diameter which leads to binding. The binding has caused a pinch in the chain which now has to be replaced. Will have to look into getting a proper aftermarket bar from Oregon. As is, the saw is more of a 2" diameter maximum branch size suburban homeowner type of saw.
Pros: Durable, Effective, Powerful

Hello Fred of Maine. Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear the battery life has been satisfactory and appreciate your comments regarding overall performance. Regarding the binding issue, binding is most related to maintenance conditions or cutting technique rather than the sprocket tip diameter itself. Chainsaw bars are designed with sprocket sizes that properly match the intended chain pitch and gauge. Factors such as chain tension, lubrication, bar wear, chain sharpness, and the cutting methods, especially when working with hardwood, can all contribute to binding if not properly managed. If you have any questions or would like further assistance, our customer support team is available to help. They can be reached either using the online chat function, on Greenworks Tools page, accessible by clicking “Chat Now” in the bottom corner of your screen, Chat with a Live Agent or by calling 1-888-909-6757.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to cut up a fallen tree, and it was hardwood, so I had to replace blade with s62 oregon and when I went to cut, made 3 cuts and battery was dead already. Had to stop and recharge the battery. Not happy with the battery duration at all
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Powerful

Hello markwall. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how frustrating it can be to have limited runtime when tackling a demanding task like cutting hardwood. Battery runtime can vary significantly based on factors such as wood hardness, bar and chain type, cutting technique, and how continuously the saw is operated. Hardwood and larger diameter cuts place a much higher load on the motor, which can reduce runtime more quickly, even with a 4.0 Ah battery. Ensuring the chain is properly tensioned and sharp can also help optimize performance. We appreciate your feedback, for extended cutting sessions or heavier-duty applications, having an additional battery on hand or using a higher-capacity battery may provide a better overall experience.

Directions very poor. Seemed like nothing but cya legalese. Couldn't even tell what oil to use.
