Never had a pole saw before. Now my life has changed. No branch is safe from my pole saw! I trimmed every branch off my neighbor's tree that was infringing on my yard!
I’ve had this chainsaw for a few months and it works really well for anything under 8” but isn’t worth the money. Don’t expect to buck any trees unless you have a few batteries. Slow going through a 10” Birch tree. Took me about 25aH (10 charges) of battery with a sharp chain to buck about 12 rounds (8-11”) I bought an extra 5aH battery which is absolutely necessary if you want to do anything more than trim branches. If you are doing yard work, just get a corded chainsaw. If you are going to the woods, get gas. Overall, I just regret buying a battery powered chainsaw. Unless you need to be extra quiet while cutting, the value just isn’t there.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Nicholas1,
Thank you for your review. There are advantages and disadvantages to the battery vs gas powered units. Thank you for taking the time to review this product.
pole saw good, hedge trimmer awkward and too heavy.

bought this combo back in july, used pole saw once, works very well. just now tried the hedge trimmer out, with battery installed and even with shortest extension used, it is too heavy for continued use!! so try it out quickly after 30 days cannot return or exchange for something you can use.

I really like my new chainsaw. I only occasionally need a chainsaw to cut up fallen branches, so it’s hard to keep fresh gas for a 2 cycle chainsaw. With my new Greenworks chainsaw I don’t have to worry about that. It only took me a couple of minutes to cut up a big branch. Love it!
So far used it once to cut down some saplings. It worked well, seemed quite powerful. But time will tell how well it holds up long term when handling bigger trees/logs.
This saw cuts much better than my gas saws. I had a problem with the bar/chain oiler. Greenworks sent a replacement saw right away. Customer service is great.
