Greenworks 2014002AZ 16 in. 80V Brushless Cordless Chainsaw

Never going back to gas/oil. At least not for the type of tree work that I do. The 80V power is a game changer for me. Cuts through everything I presented to the saw. Biggest diameter was 11-12". Buttah. Stops on a dime. Quiet, no smell, no mixing, good battery life. Done with Gas saw.

This is exactly what I was looking for. It's a powerful saw, lightweight, and quiet. I am very happy with this purchase. Just what I wanted and expected from Greenworks.

This is so much better than trying to keep my gas one running! I've only cut up a few trees, but it is very powerful!

I bought this within the last month. I had many small trees and broken branches that needed cleaned up. I took the saw out after prepping it (bar chain oil addition, inspection). I cut up hardwoods with amazing ease. I was a bit concerned with the provided life of the 2.5 ah battery, so I bought a 5.0 ah battery as backup. But the 2.5 ah battery performed very well. I probably didn't need to buy the backup battery as I've only used gas powered chain saws in the past so I was a little wary of the stamina. At this point I'm fully content with the Greenworks 80 v 16” chainsaw assembly.

From the point of view of an occasional homeowner use, the Greenworks 80v chainsaw is certainly more than capable of cutting logs. The most striking feature is the silence in-between cuts, this is something to behold...you can't believe it until you witness it yourself. It's bizarre to be cutting logs, and put down the chainsaw for a moment and hear birds chirping. I loved my orange colored pro equipment, but I'm over the pull start, gas smell, and noise. Within a week of this purchase I bought the Greenworks 80v leaf blower and my other orange blower is on the shelf, I gave the chainsaw away. I look forward to moving all my gas powered equipment to this 80v world.

Pros: 1. Power 2. Quiet 3. Under 4" diameter cutting is great Cons: 1. Battery life is terrible 2. Over 4" diameter, Cutting is progressively worse with each inch 3. Oil leaks all over the place, even when stored flat (40v never leaked in bag) 4. Need tool to tighten bar and no on-board tool storage (40v was tool-less) Let me start by saying I have a lot of 40 volt tools from Greenworks: string trimmer, chainsaw, hedge trimmer, lawn mower, etc. I have a 2 acre property with lots of old oaks, beeches & maples that need maintenance and cutting up when they fall. I bought this chainsaw to replace my 40v 16" chainsaw from GW which stopped working after 5 yrs of moderate use. Most of this review pertains to the difference b/n the two. I thought the 80v would be an upgrade and since I just purchased the 80v leaf blower (also not impressed), I had another battery to use. My first use with the new saw 6 months ago was to cut up a 20' long 12" thick oak log. The saw cut ferociously to start, but after 5-6 inches, the blade bent and started tracking a curve, thereby causing the chain to continually bind. Additionally the 2.5ah battery only lasted for 2 1/2 cuts through this log - about 8 min of cutting. I have used the saw many times since and the bar bending is a constant nuisance. If cutting trees/branches thinner than 4-5 inches, then it is not a problem. The 40v saw I replace handled these same tasks much much better. It definitely has less power, but was way more dependable and cut for a lot longer. In my opinion, this saw is not worth having around unless you are cutting really tiny logs in which case there are much cheaper and lighter options out there. I would have bought another saw if I didn't already have the battery and I regret not purchasing that one instead. I have seen my neighbor use his and it works much better.

This chainsaw is awesome! I will never use a gas powered chainsaw again! Buy it!

Tired of spending an hour to get your gas powered chainsaw started so you can cut a couple of limbs? I was, that's why I bought the Greenworks battery powered chainsaw. While likely not for the professional loggers out there the Greenworks 80v chainsaw works incredibly well for your occasional needs. We recently had to fall a huge Monterey Pine using a big Gas saw but once down I used my Greenworks saw to limb it up and cut firewood. Working side by side with others using gas saws the Greenworks saw proved it could easily keep up. Just press the button and your cutting, no fuss, no muss. Love it.

This is the second chainsaw in less than two months that I've had to return due to defects. The 1st a 60v and this an 80v chainsaw. I'm waiting now for my 3rd unit, fingers crossed. I like the idea of these units but good lord, how about a little better quality control. Now, having said that, customer service has been exemplary and accommodating. Unfortunately, while I may applaud their customer service, I couldn't in good conscience recommend this brand to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm in love with my new chainsaw. I'm an old woman with 15 acres of wooded land in Idaho. I've been working with a 12 inch 56volt saw and wanted something with more power. I couldn't be happier with this saw. It's easy to work with and light enough to use for an extended amount of time. I highly recommend this chainsaw.
