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

This saw is awesome. I have a 16" Husqv that was my favorite, but this saw seems twice as powerful. I have used it several times and have only drained the battery once, which was a workout. I needed a break by then. The charger has a fan to keep the battery from overheating when charging, which I like. I am a convert. Will never buy another gas saw. I have about 40 acres of dense hardwood forest, so it is going to get a workout.

This chainsaw is exactly what needed to take care of my property. A storm came through and broke a few hefty branches and took a few more down. This chainsaw cut through all the damaged branches and I cut them into even pieces all on one charge! Iwoild definitely recommend this chainsaw.

Be careful. I would advise against this powerful saw, for only one reason… the weight distribution. With the somewhat bulky 80 volt battery residing on one side, it works with the weight pulling slightly to that side, noticeably. This lack of balance presents a danger and should be considered carefully by each potential owner because better options exist! I looked forward to the day I would have this “upgrade” from the greenworks 40V 16” (which was my first saw) and my second saw was a stihl ms170 which was the perfect combo. Those two saws paired so well with each other! It’s like they held hands. Day after day i was impressed with the greenworks 40v and night after night because it was quiet enough for me to cut at night and received compliments from the neighbor on the noise level. Over a year later, i became to victim of theft and when going to replace the greenworks saw, i excitedly purchased the 80 volt “poppa” after a good hour or two of cutting and careful consideration I’ve decided to return the greenworks 18” 80v saw because of how hard the uneven weight distribution causes it to ride and pull heavily to the side while in use.

Excellent chainsaw! Worked well to take down the dead trees on my property. Also it came with a second battery for free!

I bought two of these things and they are amazing! They are just as good as gas powered chainsaws but with less maintenance… They are very strong and can cut down large trees! I only wish they could come up with a lithium battery that lasted a lot longer…
