Greenworks - 80-Volt 18-Inch Cordless Brushless Chainsaw (1 x 4Ah battery and Charger) - Green

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned several gas-powered chainsaws over the years and one corded electric chainsaw. This saw surpasses them all. You can't beat the power to weight ratio, cordless convenience and the low maintenance. For general homeowner use this saw cannot be beat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works good when the chain is on. If you make horizontal cuts, chain pops off. I've tried tight and looser chain settings and it doesn't matter, chain WILL pop off on horizontal cuts. The worst part is once the chain pops, it contacts the main drive gear and deforms the kinks so it doesn't fit in bar. Complete garbage. I've filed down every bottom link to get it to fit bar and it works, until chain pops off again. Then it's back to square one. If the chain, bar, and main gear all worked perfectly together, this would be a 4 star review. This unit cuts great for vertical cuts. It does not have an electrical brake and keeps turning one you let off trigger. Unless GW finds an answer to my chain pop issues, I'm going to send it back.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a year ago and have been using it for all the small jobs on my property. I mostly use it to cut smaller trees (12-24 diameter). It is relatively quiet and very intuitive to use. You couldn't go and cut trees all day in the woods with it given the battery life, but that's not what I use a chainsaw for anyway. I've never run out of battery while doing the smaller jobs I use it for. Also great to transport in a car.

Works as well as a gas chainsaw if not better! No messing around with spilling gas, pulling a cord over and over to get it started and no warmup time. Push a button and you're cutting right away and it's quiet, no hearing protection needed. I'll never go back to gas unless I need a bigger saw but this does 99% of what I need to cut.

Just bought this. So far so good. Good power for 18 in logs. Good battery life on smaller stuff. I also own an 80v lawn mower and a bunch of 40v tools.
