Great saw! Cuts very well and fast. Battery lasts longer than me in the sun. Only drawback is the pole is not telescoping like my old Portland. Its an extra piece you have to attach.
I bought the Greenworks 40v pole saw last year. Within 2 months the battery charger stopped working. I returned the entire saw to the place of purchase for a replacement. Tried to use it this spring and the battery charger has died already. Based on this experience I cannot recommend greenworks products at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Kman137,
We are sorry to hear about the experience you have encountered with this battery. The overall battery life is dependent on many factors such as where they have been stored, charged, and handled. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging. It is recommended to store the battery with a full charge, and if it is being stored for a period where no use is expected, to check on the charge every couple of months. If you notice the charge has dropped, we advise charging the battery back up to full before returning it to its safe storage place.

Wow! Great tool! Powerful, light, easy to use. This is exactly the tool I need for around my landscaping ( 2 acres size) I have multi 40 volts Max tools. If it is your only 40v tool, maybe the 2.0 Ah batterie will be short of power.
