[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed extra chains after a wind storm took down 3 of our large pines and these worked great so I did not need to wait to get a chain sharpened!
bought mine on November 16, 2021. Now i use it and it continually just dies. The battery could be fully charged and it only works for 30 seconds or so and then cuts off. Like there is an auto shut off kicking in. So frustrating. i regret the purchase. I love my Greenworks tools- except this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first electric chainsaw I've used, and I'm impressed. It is powerful with a light weight, small, and agile form. It will rappidly cut through a 12in log without becoming bogged down. Quick easy starts at the push of a button without the need of pull starting a gas engine, with it's warming up,carburetor tuning and cleaning. There is a noticeable half second delay from trigger press to the motor starting that sometimes throws-off my timing as I'm about to bring the chain onto the wood; but otherwise the tirgger response and speed control is excellent. For tree climbing and trimming work, Ive made the saw even lighter and more agile simply by using avsmaller 2.0 Ah battery -- it has all the same power, just less run time, which is still plenty for that type of work.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exactly what I expected from Greenworks. Excellent quality - goes well with my Greenworks polesaw and leaf blower.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my go to saw when performing smaller cutting jobs around the house. It offers plenty of cutting power when needed.
