Plenty of power

Power seems equivalent to a gas powered saw. We cut down a tree about 14" in diameter, delimbed it and cut into about 18" sections and still had juice to spare.
I have not had the chance to use my saw to cut down any trees yet. But I have used it for pruning limbs and brush around the place. I really love the fact that I don't have to carry around a running saw or try to start a saw on a ladder or in a rough place. The balance is good with a 2 AH battery in the saw making it easy to control. Glad I bought it looking forward to trying it out on something lager.
I've been slowly replacing the gas powered tools in my garage with Greenworks battery powered tools. First to go was the leaf blower and then the hedge trimmer. When a tropical storm dropped an oak tree across my back yard last month, it was time to give the battery powered chainsaw a try. My other Greenworks tools performed great and I thought this would be the ultimate test--cutting through a 20-inch diameter hardwood tree. I'm happy to report the 80-volt 18 inch chainsaw handled it with ease. I got through about 20 cuts ranging in size from 20 to 14 inches in diameter before swapping the battery that I have from my other tools. Wish I took some before and after photos, because this was a large tree and it cut through it with ease. Best of all is not having to deal with gas, no pull start, no fumes, no loud noise. If you are a home owner in need of a chainsaw for property maintenance, this is a great option.
It shipped reasonably quickly considering the current difficulties in getting packages delivered, and it was well packaged and arrived with no damage. Looking forward to using it!
This chainsaw is amazing. I own both a 16" Stihl and a 16" Homelite Chainsaw. This battery powered Greenworks is as powerful if not more powerful as both of those gas powered. The convenience of no gas and oil mixture to carry around and spill and pull starting just makes this the best buy I have ever made. I recommend this 80V chainsaw to everyone.
