Just bought this. So far so good. Good power for 18 in logs. Good battery life on smaller stuff. I also own an 80v lawn mower and a bunch of 40v tools.

Highly recommend! Terrific chainsaw. Has the power to cut through the hardest wood. Quiet as a small circular saw. I couldn’t be happier. Keep your eye on the bar and chain oil level as it will last about 30 minutes. But when you are having a great time sawing through logs and branches it’s easy to forget to check the chain oil!
Throw those loud old hard to start chainsaw’s that are laying around and buy yourself a green works easy to start battery operated chainsaw. You’ll put an oomph back into your cutting chores!
I bought this pole saw almost a year ago. The saw cuts extremely well. The problem I have is that the safety button near the trigger will not depress. This happened within the first month of owning the saw. I worked around the problem by getting it depressed (after much wiggling and force) and duct taped it closed. It doesn't work long before the tape stretches. Obviously it is a flaw in the one I own. So frustrating!! If the safety button actually worked I would give the saw 5 stars. I see Greenworks has put this button on their other chain saws. Now I'm nervous to purchase any product with the safety button.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cuts great . I haven’t used it enough to see how much it can cut before it needs a charge . Made quick work of brush pile of 2-4 inch branches . Best past don’t have to mess with a choke and pulling starter 30 times !
