Plenty of power and battery life for my use as a homeowner. Well balanced for high reach limb cutting.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have retired my gasoline powered chainsaws after using this unit. Lots of power and plenty of run time for clearing limbs and down trees after storms. No need to keep fresh gasoline on hand either.

I bought this to go along with my other Greenworks tools and to replace my gas chainsaw. I opened the box, put in chain oil, dropped in the battery and I was up and running and cutting large branches. Another great tool from Greenworks

My original chain had gone through hundreds of cuts. It was slowing down. I'll get the old one sharpened for another season of cutting, but the new one that I bought has been like a hot knife through butter. I'll probably buy a third chain to make sure I'm always at optimum level of cutting capacity. This battery-powered saw is better than any gas-powered saw I've ever used.

I bought this model to replace a Stihl ms-211 gas chainsaw. The power is equal to the gas chainsaw. I am very happy. I got about 18 cuts on a 14 inch fir tree before I needed to recharge the battery. The battery was ready to use again in about 30 minutes. I love the quiet.

This chainsaw is awesome, it has lots of power and the battery lasts for quite a while. I have a few batteries so it's easy swap out and keep working. As a homeowner that only uses a chainsaw a few times a year, it's great to not have to worry about the carb getting gummed up from sitting too long and gas/oil mixture going bad.

Using this saw for a week. Used gas saw for many years; this is my first time with a battery operated saw. Read hundreds of reviews and expert advice about this tool before purchasing. Thought the battery operated a good idea, but wanted to make sure I selected one to meet my needs. So, 1) Safety - This would be true for any electric saw, but the chain only moves when you're engaged in cutting. No fooling with restarts. So I was able to constantly move brush or move wood or whatever between cuts so that I was in a safe, balanced position to make cuts. 2) Battery life - Some reviews I read listed this as an issue, but I could cut for a half hour or 45 minutes on one charge. Between stacking brush and piling up wood I could work for an hour or so before returning to the house to recharge battery. I didn't time the recharge, but it couldn't have been much more than 15 or 20 minutes. I was busy with other chores during that time. 3) Power - I cut some pretty large mesquite with no issues. I only stalled one time over the weekend so that seems pretty satisfactory to me. 4) Function - I didn't find the saw much different than handling my 18" Husqvarna. Not terribly heavy and pretty well balanced. I read about leaks chain oil leaks, but I didn't experience that. Some reviews also referred to the chain jumping off. That only happened once for me. 5) Reliability - Started every time. There are an awful lot of plastic parts and that concerns me some - how those parts hold out over the long haul. The starter switch next to the trigger seems like it will get a lot of wear and I worry about it's durability. I like that the nuts on the chain cover are attached to the cover so you don't worry about losing them.
Overall the saw performed as expected. Cutting wood so much more enjoyable (and safer) not having to wrestle with restarting gas saw and cut in relative peaceful quiet. If a fella planned on cutting for a full day at a time he might invest in another battery or one of those larger batteries.

Plenty of power, I cut up 3 medium sized blow downs,1 charge of the battery. Seems to cut better on hardwoods than soft. Unless you're a professional I dont see needing anything more than this
