I've been cutting wood since I was old enough to stand, and own two 'real' chainsaws, but got this for trimming small dead branches off trees in my yard. Compared to a typical full-sized gas saw it's light, nearly silent, 'easy to start' doesn't even apply, and I'm SUPER impressed with the 'jaw' design for cutting up small branches on the ground - the bar pinches the wood into the jaw and just holds it, with out any worry about running the blade into the dirt and dulling it. I also loved how you just lean into the handle, making it MUCH less work to bend over. It's practically a one-handed job. In spite of a very small bar, small teeth and very low RPMs it cuts surprisingly quickly with little effort.
However, it still has a few areas for improvement. I also own the WORX 56v lawn mower and 56v trimmer, and REALLY wish the saw would accept the same battery and charger. I suspect it's just a matter of time before they make a version of it that uses a common battery - or at least a common base and charger that will take either. In the mean time I've got yet ANOTHER charger to keep around. Also, I wish it would have come with a file. A saw is only as good as its blade is sharp, and this appears to be an unusual size (much smaller than any other saw I've ever run across); I hope I don't have a problem finding a sharpening file that will fit - it would have been so much easier if they just included one in the box, or at least made one available as an accessory.
I also got the extension arm, which works OK, but has poor balance - it's very top heavy, but since the saw isn't very heavy to start with, it's certainly usable.
Lastly, the original saw I received had a battery receiver that wouldn't mate with the battery or the extension arm power adapter - there is a pin on the battery / adapter that needs to slide into a groove in the connector on the saw, which was in a different location as though it were intended for some non-US market that uses some other standard, or was just made with the wrong part. Worx was good enough to ship me a replacement at no charge, but it took 2-3 weeks to arrive, so now it's far enough into the fall I can't tell which branches are dead with the leaves off ALL of them, but I'll have something to look forward to next spring - and for years to come judging from the build quality.
One final gripe - the handle has a built-in safety feature that requires pushing a button with the thumb while squeezing a trigger in the grip with the fingers, but the handle is so small that it's uncomfortable to scrunch my thumb in close enough to hit it - obviously it wasn't designed for large hands (I'm 6'4" and have hands to match). I'm sure this is a great feature for smaller users, but a more universal size would have been appreciated.
I used it enough to fall in love with the design, but not enough to tax the battery (only cut down a handful of small-ish dead branches, and cut a larger one into 15-20 pieces to put in my stove), so I can't comment on how long it will run on a charge, but since I didn't intend to use it for cutting up cord wood, I'm sure it will be more than adequate for trimming branches as needed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a very handy saw. But it is heavy when used with the ext. poll.

I bought the Worx Jaws saw for my husband for his birthday. A toboggan hill in our yard is used by the neighborhood kids in the winter and it requires yearly tree trimming and brush cutting. It has been an exhausting task that is never-ending and leads my husband to rethinking the decision every fall. The Worx Jaws has made easy work of a losing battle and saved sledding for another year!

I am a 57 yr old woman that maintains 5 acres by herself. I cannot use a regular chainsaw, mostly due to fear. This is just perfect for me! The weight is right, the diameter available is right. Would think the JawSaw in 32V should be offered.

Great for the small jobs. No fussing with my chainsaw. And much safer, especially those overhead limbs. (I also bought the extension) I little heavy-ended with the extension, but heavy (IMO) is good quality.
