Overall, happy but the chain keeps coming off. The tightening mechanism isn't like a traditional chainsaw. It's different from any other chainsaw (including a Greenworks saw I own). There is no separate tensioner. Having a handy place for the wrench right on the tool is a great feature.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello John BP,
Thank you for your review. We would recommend reviewing the tensioning steps as outlined in your instruction manual. Ensure the chain tensioner is tight enough to keep the bar from moving. If you experience the same concerns, we recommend contacting Greenworks at 1-888-909-6757 for a proper evaluation. Customer care can provide the necessary troubleshooting for the chain tensioner assembly, bar, and chain. Thanks again and we hope you get this worked out.
This saw saws through branches with ease. I was surprised at how heavy it was, which is a minor drawback. But the battery does seem to last for a long time. Very happy with it.
On second one. First one had manufacturing fault that prevented oil flowing at all. Replacement under warranty is not a lot better. After about 15 mins use chain came off and got bent teeth in the process. Have many other Greenworks tools that I really like but will not buy another chainsaw from them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this pole saw along with several other great Greenworks lawn products. I can reach limbs way higher than I thought I was going to be able too. No ladder needed! My dad was super jealous! Might have to buy another for his Father’s Day!
Purchased this chainsaw to tackle all the down limbs on my new property. I use it all the time. Rarely needs a re-charge. Great tool to have around. Would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a chainsaw.
I have used this chain saw several times now. It has exceeded my expectations. It’s very sturdy and well crafted. It’s powerful and runs much longer than I expected. It’s convenient. As an example, Just a few days I had a small tree trunk that was dead - maybe 3 inch diameter or less. My large lopper could not cut it. I would have normally gone for a saw at that point, but it was so easy to just grab my chain saw, pop in the battery, and take care of it quickly. I like the lighter weight of the 60 volt versus a heavier 80 volt for taking on big jobs.
Fantastic chainsaw! Could use a higher Ah, but that's on me to get a larger capacity battery. Still the 2.5 Ah battery lasts for a decent amount of cutting and this thing rips through the trees.
I bought this chainsaw for some small jobs in the back yard. This machine is great. cuts smooth. doesn't throw the chain off. Powerful battery supplied motor I couldn't be happier.
