Bought the Pro 60V chainsaw to replace my gas chain saw. Works great,nicely balanced ,powerful long lasting battery. Cut 14" tree with ease, and is much quieter than gas. Plus I believe much safer to operate.
Great battery life - chain housing could use some work.

The battery had a longer charge life than I would have expected and it had it had great reach. We got quite a bit of work done on just one charge. It was also nice that the battery works with our other Greenworks tools To balance things out, we had issues with the chain staying tight and I had to spend some time keeping it taut. There wasn't a chip guard, so sawdust was falling straight down onto your head. Be sure to use a tight fitting set of goggles.

Hello Sidmel,
We are glad that you are enjoying the overall performance of this pole saw and we greatly appreciate your honest feedback as it gives us a better understanding of where we need to improve moving forward. If you start the chain saw with a new chain, have a test for2-3 minutes. A new chain gets longer after the first use, examine the tension and tighten the chain if necessary. This information can be found in the owner's manual. Do not hesitate to give us a call with any future questions, comments, or concerns at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS).
It’s light weight yet plenty powerful to get the work done. The Pro-60 has torque needed to zip through larger logs, even my aged, rock-hard black walnut logs.
It's too hot for chainsaw work but I did cut the tops off some stumps to try it. It worked well. My 2ah battery didn't last long and they only have the 6ah battery in stock. (It's too expensive for this tool). I gave it four stars for the short time I used it. When it's tree cutting time I might make it a 5,????
My 18-inch Pro 60-volt chainsaw was a great purchase. I cannot overstate the convenience factor over small engine gas tools. At a moment’s notice, I can pick up this saw and start cutting without having to fiddle around with adjusting carburetor settings and wearing myself out with pull-starting. Furthermore, my 60-v battery lasts for hours on a single charge. I highly recommend this unit.
