This has been great! Battery lasted long enough to tale down 8 small trees. It is not loud and sounds like a toy but does the work of a traditional chain saw. We are very happy with the purchase.
I've cut down and cut up a few small trees with this saw. I've got extra batteries from the 80v push mower and that's about the minimun required for nearly non-stop cutting. The batteries take longer to cool down and start charging than they do to actually charge, at least on 80°(F)+ days. Everything still works as well as new and looks like it will be a good tool for years to come.
Works great. A decent amount of working time on a single charge. The spring on the battery holding mechanism keeps coming out. The only downside. Otherwise happy. No fumes. No premix. Quiet. No need for ear muffs.
Recently bough this chainsaw to carry after a wildfire occurred where we live. The saw's case is really helpful for carrying in a vehicle and the saw looks great, haven't had an opportunity to use it yet. A couple of items that were shown in the description as coming with the saw when I bought it (oil, extra chain) did not arrive with the saw so I contacted customer service and they were very gracious and helpful, sending along the extra items and even an extra wrench. Please note that the saw I purchased came with a regular-life (smaller) 80V battery, not the extended-life battery.
