My 80 volt chainsaw has cut enough wood to provide most of my heat for 2 years plus. I've also used it to create 8 to 10' x 6" & larger beams of oak & poplar. I bought the mower too for the larger battery, also the string trimmer & pole pruner. I've been happy with all tools & wouldn't consider trading them for gas. I love pushing a button & getting to work & storing them wherever I want.
This is a powerful chainsaw for around the house cleanup of unwanted, dead or dying trees, branches, etc. It is clean and easy without the fuss of gasoline or extension cords. I highly recommend this chainsaw. Excellent Design and Look.
These 80v tools make everything so handy, quick and easy to use. No more mixing fuel and having to adjust chokes while trying to pull start. I now have the chain saw, blower, weed eater and this pole saw. They are all great.
We purchased this 18" cordless electric chainsaw after using a 16" chainsaw and a 10" polesaw manufactured by Greenworks. Although the chainsaw we purchased is larger, it is every bit as quiet, efficient, and easy to handle as the two smaller electric saws. The need for a cordless power tool is pretty obvious, but switching from gas- to electric-power makes very good sense for working outdoors in the tinder-dry Western US: We don't want to be the ones who start a forest fire. Also, and most personally important to us, is the incredible power of this tool. We both have damaged our hands and wrists over the decades with tough outdoor work on farms, ranches, woodlands, and foreign wars. This chainsaw has all the power we need, without the bucking, kickback, or resistance of old-fashioned gas-powered chainsaws. Cutting logs is almost as easy as slicing bread with this saw. Love it!
This saw eats trees! I am so happy with the performance and how quiet it is. I cycle through three batteries and never have to stop. The only nitpicking "issue" is the string that holds the oil cap. It is too long/flimsy and is annoying to get back into the oil reservoir. My mother-in-law even took it for a spin and loved it!
The power is impressive and the weight is heavy enough and well balanced. Cuts through oak and hickory just fine. I'm getting about 50 cuts per battery charge but that's all 8-inch+ diameter hardwoods. If you're cutting pine you'll get more. Easy enough to find a replacement chain and there's a window to see just how much bar oil you have left in the reservoir. The only thing I would improve is selling it with a real case but this review is for the tool itself, which more than holds its own against my two gas powered saws.
This saw works great, just as good as a gas powered saw; maybe better. It is quiet (no need for ear plugs and you can easily communicate in a talking voice with helpers) and light. Very efficient; only use power when you need it. No loud saw sitting on idle while you position for your next cut. Battery lasts long. I cleared brush for 2 hours and I’m ready for a break before the battery is empty. Bar chain oil usage seems on par with a typical saw. Probably could use two full batteries before the oil is empty.
