[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is amazing! Cuts through Mesquite wood like butter. So much better than my old harbor freight 40V saw
This chainsaw was perfect for clean up after Hurricane Helene.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First I bought the mower, and then the weed trimmer. Not long after, hurricane Helene blew through leaving a trail of destruction. This chainsaw was the perfect tool for making quick work of this large Oak. It's been nice having no gas fumes.
Looking forward to not having to attempt to start a gasoline chainsaw!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After having issues starting gasoline chainsaws to clean up after hurricane Helene, I am looking forward to an electric option.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned this electric chainsaw for about 9 months now and have used to clear a woods to build a garage. I cut about 45 trees that ranged from 4" to 18" in diameter. Things that I love about this chainsaw is the light weight, great cutting capability, low noise level, not dealing with gas or spark plugs, challenge starting, hot engine after running long hours. The challenging items are the low battery life, long charge time (which to me is very important if you're doing a large job but not important if just clearing one or two trees that came down), tensioning system broke within a few hours (I had to purchase a replacement), and poor quality chain that only lasts a short period of time even when sharpening consistently. I purchased a second battery with the hopes of being able to cut while the other battery was charging. Unfortunately, the battery life while cutting is short and the charge time is long. I can clear the wood/cut faster than the charge time. If you're not in a rush, then this will work for you. I want to continue to keep cutting and not waste the entire day, so I find this purchase to be frustrating (low cutting time and chain tensioner being the biggest issue). I would purchase again but only for small cutting jobs, not large jobs.
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Powerful
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello PhilWisco
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sad to hear the chainsaw has not met your needs. Greenworks Pro 80V 18" Brushless Cordless Chainsaw can make up to 110 cuts through 4" x 4" pressure treated lumber. Regarding the cuts, the number of cuts per charge or run time that you receive would depend on the load acting on the saw (i.e., the thickness and type of wood being cut) as the chainsaw would use more battery power on tougher and thick objects being cut. Operator technique is also a factor and a chainsaw's tensioning system may break if the chain is not properly tensioned, or if the chain and bar are not the correct size for the saw Please see unit specification below, for the chain.
For a longer runtime, we suggest bringing a larger Ah battery or two if you are planning on taking trees out completely or maintaining larger properties. The only issues you may experience using a heavier battery is the added weight to the unit which may not be as comfortable to handle as a smaller battery.
We hope these tips and videos help and provides a better user experience with this tool. Should you have any further questions or warranty needs, contact us through Live Chat on www.greenworkstools.com or call Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline 1-855-345-3934. We would like the opportunity to speak with you to see if we can find a solution.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this 80v pole saw in August so I could trim the trees up before winter. The parts were easy to put together and I did not need the directions to do so. I tightened averything down and put some oil in the reservior and went to work. To my surpise it ate through some 4-6 inch branches with no problem. I used the pole saw for about a half hour and it barely used any juice from the battery so its pretty efficient. The only things I could really have any comment about would be that this saw is a bit heavy with the 80v battery in it and it could use a handle on the pole to help hold it up and forward into higher places. Kind of like the handle on the weed wacker. Other than that .. great product.. I would recommend it to anyone who asks..
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about a week ago. It has been a great tool for cutting the tree debris from Hurricane Milton. The unavailability of gas was no issue for me. This 80 volt, 18” chainsaw worked great. I will continue to buy Greenworks tools.
