EGO Power+CS1613 16-Inch 56-Volt Lithium-ion Cordless Chainsaw with 4.0Ah Battery and Charger Included Chain Saw, Black

This saw works great for the type of tasks a homeowner is likely to have — it can take out reasonably sized logs and downed trees, but is light and easy to use. The battery life is great — I wear out before it does. And while not all that heavy it’s also not super light — which is good, because I don’t want a super light chainsaw. You need the saw to have enough weight to do the work, and this does yet is well balanced. Overall an excellent addition to my tools and one I’m already finding lots of uses for. While I suspect it could be put to occasional commercial use, it’s not really a pro machine — but it’s the sort of chainsaw a homeowner will find very useful. It’s a sort of “just right” saw that seems like it will be the right tool for a lot of jobs.

This battery chain saw is equal to a 40cc gas model but without the fuel mixing and without the constant running / restarting. It instantly runs at speed and cuts very quickly with little to no kick back (helped by the anti kick back supplied chain). I haven't cut anything larger than 6-8 inch logs but there's no reason larger logs wouldn't be just as quick and easy. The battery lasts a LONG time. I haven't actually run it down to zero while cutting most of the day on smaller branches and downed limbs. I use the EGO chainsaw oil which is "biodegradable" and quite thick. No issues.

Rips trees down like a beaver. Fantastic tool. Good value. No more gas bullnoise. Remember to buy bar oil when you buy this. Any bar oil works. Amazing value when you score one on Amazon days or whatever it’s called. Cuts fast. So far no oil leakage. Really good torque and power. Better than gas torque wise. Better than gas in every way. Accepts other bars and chains. Easy to maintain.

I had a large pine tree fall in my yard during Hurricane Beryl. It flattened my back fence and I couldn't get that fixed until I got the tree cut up. After getting some quotes, I thought "I can do that myself and save some money" and set to work with this chainsaw.Even though the tree was wider than the chainsaw, I managed to get through it without too much difficulty. I was able to get quite a few cuts per full charge of battery.It is very easy to use and quite well balanced compared to some of the other lawn tools, thanks to the battery mounting directly under the main body of the tool.Feels very powerful and the included chain cut through smaller sections of the tree in no time at all.I am very happy with it.

This review is written by someone who has never used a chainsaw before. The chainsaw arrived with the battery partially charged, no bar and chain oil in the box-need to purchase separately. The chainsaw is easy to use, lightweight even with the battery. It cut through the logs easily; if you haven’t used one before read the tips in the instruction manual. I got it jammed in a log because I was pushing down rather than allowing the machine to do its job. When it jammed I pulled the chain off accidentally; that was a chore to get back on, but once I figured out how (watched a you tube) it came together and I was able to complete my project. The next time I used it was super easy. This is my 3rd EGO product, make sure you register this on EGO’s website, trying to get a warranty repair will suck your soul clean out of your body. I needed a warranty repair on my mower and it took their customer service department 3 days and 3 phone calls to complete the claim. Each phone call was ridiculously long as I was put on hold multiple times while the gal “checked on things”. You will need a copy of your receipt to register - doing this before needing warranty service will not speed up the process, but better to do it before you need it and have lost the receipt. If you do a warranty claim, stand beside the machine the whole time because they will literally ask 3 times for the serial number, even though you provided it during registration.I do like EGO products, I find their batteries last a good long time and fit all of their products. But their customer service needs some MAJOR work.
