Greenworks 12" 40 V Battery Powered Chainsaw

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This saw is powerful, easy to use, works great on my XMAS farm

I needed something for light duty work around the yard. I won't be felling any trees so this is perfect for me. Economical, lightweight, and battery powered. I've had problems with gas powered chain saws as I don't require frequent use, the carburetors get clogged up and pre-mix oil/gas is a pain. I already had the Greenworks line trimmer so this was a perfect addition. I'll be adding a blower and trimmer to the lineup as well.

I'm 5'4”, weigh 120 (ish), and can easily operate and use this chainsaw. It's perfect for lumps and small trees.

Chainsaw is surprisingly. powerful. I actually cut down a 12 ft tall, 14inch diameter stump. I would definitely recommend this tool for any home owner with trees.

I have always had a motorized chain saw, but at 78 years young,hard to handle one,did not want the noise,so started to shop around for a battery powered one,even through i had doughts about one having the power to do anything.I liked the reviews of the Greenworks 40 volt. After recieving it, i put it to test,and was surprised the way it cut,very little noise and long battery life.It did not cut as fast as gas, but got the job done,thanks Greenworks for a chainsaw i can depend on.. ..

After many searches I found Greenworks as the best of what I was shopping for as well as the best price. My purchase of the Greenworks chainsaw was everything advertised and more. It is well made and great in performance, quality, ease of operation along with the best price.The company responds promptly with any concerns and are very friendly to do business with. I am very happy with my purchase and am making Greenworks my favorite for future tool purchases.

This was my first time ever using a chainsaw so I can't compare it to other experiences. That said, I was very pleased with the experience. I'm a smallish woman (5'6", about 130lbs) and managed it well. After learning the ins and outs as well as safety basics, I cut down a small ornamental tree, a small-med sized maple tree, and four large willow bushes. It was quick to learn and manageable to handle. I specifically chose this size knowing I don't have the need for a larger chainsaw. The charge worked fantastically for my needs. I don't have anything negative at all to say about it. Thanks!

Bought this saw for my wife so that she can clear large limbs from our long driveway when I am not at home. When she saw the size of it she was a little intimidated. After picking it up and using it she no longer feels that way and loves the handling and balance of this saw. When I asked her how she likes it, she says she loves it!

You aren't going to be cutting down giant sequoias with this thing. But for reasonable size projects (3-4" in diameter) it does the trick. Charging time is short and charge duration quite reasonable. Power is quite good for it's size and weight. Easily handled. Bit of a chip collector in the cover and, like a lot of chain saws, dribbles oil. Oil reservoir is a bit hard to judge and is easily overfilled, but it shares that with other kinds of saws. Good purchase as long as you keep in mind its capabilities.

Love battery/Power Pretty Good. Get rid of cord or gas. This starts like my hedge trimmer, push top button with finger and then keep your thumb on the bottom button to keep it running. Not as powerful as a gas powered one, but still got the job pretty well. Convenience for power. It is a little heavier due to battery. No pull start, carburetor to get dirty, or screwdriver needed to gain access to clean. What's not to love.
