I've been using this for a few years now and it has held up well. There is a bit of a learning curve. You need to allow the saw to do the work, if you force it the chain can bind or come off. You need at least two batteries and ideally three for continuous operation. Customer support is decent and have helped me with replacement nuts for the cover
Bought this two years ago (Dec 2017). Have used it to cut down and buck a dead 10" dia. Poplar tree, trim some large overhanging Eucalyptus branches and various kinds of large brush and small tree debris. The saw is easy to handle, cuts quickly, seems to stay sharp. The battery lasts 40 to 50 minutes and recharges in about 20 minutes. With two batteries I never have to wait for a battery to recharge. And its much easier to use than a gas saw.
This is a great and clean saw. The only reservation I have is that the battery makes the unit somewhat heavy and throws the balance off. But, that’s the price for no longer depending on a smelly gas chainsaw.
I have a16” 40v saw and it fits nicely. I put three batteries, qt. of bar oil, safety glasses (don’t need ear plugs anymore!) and blood stopper kit with no problem. I like the square design; it’s nice for packing, has more room, and I can sit on it when taking a break
I bought this in summer to fell some medium-sized trees in my yard. I never had experience using a chainsaw and cutting trees. I watched some youtube video and got the job done easily. The chainsaw is powerful and easy to use. I am glad to have bought the 16 inch as it gives ample leeway working with medium sized trees while not feeling too big and heavy. Easy and quick battery charge is another plus. Oil tends to drip a bit after a long run, but I suppose this is normal to protect the chain.
Good craftsmanship, however, the length is not adjustable and it is very heavy. Holding it up to cut a limb is near impossible. Would like to be able to remove center section to make it more manageable.
I bought this chainsaw about a month ago and I have been using it around my property a few days per week and it’s great I love how powerful it is and it’s a lot quieter than gas powered ones. My problem is the run time! It advertises 120 cuts of 4x4 wood with a full battery and I would highly challenge that! I also have the 10” Greenworks pole saw and I’m very happy with it and the run time but I was surprised and disappointed how quick the battery depleted on this chainsaw.
