I have had this for about about a month. It's my first chain saw which I chose to purchase for a small wooded lot that we recently moved to. I was nervous to use a chainsaw for the first time but found it to be extremely easy to use with proper reading of instructions and safety precautions. Have not used to cut anything very thick, mostly smaller trees. Had to change chain once and found with proper reading of instructions, that this was also a relatively simple task. Battery lasts well for what I have used it for, and charges within a couple hours. Would purchase again or recommend.
Purchased after my very positive experiance with the backpack blower. So far so good. Spent 45 minutes cutting pine and scrub oak limbs from 3" to (amazingly) a stump 15". Worked remarkably well. Don't force it, let the saw do the work and you will be happy. Still had 2 bars of batt left when I finished. Only negative so far is that a small bottle of bar oil should be included. Pick one up. You need it.
