I went through 2 Greenworks chainsaws from 2 different vendors. Neither chainsaw worked!! Batteries were fully charged, neither saw ever turned on. I retuned everything for full credit and loss of faith in Greenworks. I bought another saw from another company. It worked the first and every time since. Greenworks proved to be a bitter disappointment!!!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Easy to use, and the battery lasted long enough to take out a 30 foot tree.

I bought this tool after a major storm rolled through to help with cleanup. I cut enough wood to pile a face cord and I think I only charged the battery twice. The best part was my neighbors didn't know I was doing anything because they didn't hear anything.
I would recommend this to a friend!

When pulling the trigger, the saw chain begins slowly. Apparently a safety feature. Any pressure applied making cuts into, say, a 12 inch diameter log will stall the chain. You need to baby it. Don't discard your gas chainsaw.

Hello Rockpocket,
Thank you for your review. It is unfortunate to hear that you are not completely satisfied with this saw. Our 40V line is designed for light to medium-duty jobs. If you're looking for a product more comparable to the power of gas, we would recommend taking a look at our 80V line of tools; we do not think you'll be disappointed.

Greenworks 40v chainsaw model csf403

Bought this chainsaw last labor day, have used it 5 or 6 times. Now after pulling both triggers to engage the saw it will shut off after about 15 to 20 seconds, have to pull the trigger again to get it going again. Now this is all it will do. Work for 15 to 20 seconds then shut off. Called greenworks customer service, they cant do anything for me being that i have used an after market battery. Love the way they stand behind their products. Wont buy another greenworks product.

Greenworks will stand behind our product when it’s our product. We do not stand behind third party products as they are not tested nor manufactured by Greenworks.

I've been using this chainsaw for the past 2 years. It works well. My one complaint would be that the battery needs to be charged frequently if you have lots of trees or limbs to cut.
I would recommend this to a friend!
