After struggling with all the hassles of a gas powered chain saw in my small woodlot, the Ego is a game changer. I'm no longer exhausted from pulling the start cord even before I start and the silence between the cuts is great. The 16" works just like a gas saw. I'm not sure that you get the number of cuts they promise out of the battery but having a number of batteries from my other Ego tools makes this a non-issue.

And batteries are universal fit with my other Ego products: Edger/Trimmer/Blower. I am now an Ego fan for battery powered yard equipment!i Reasonable cost for this level of quality/reliability- no smoke/start issues/fuel-mixing and low noise. Handles up to 8" diameter hardwood easily- that is all I need for downed limbs of mature hardwoods. Not intended for full size trees but with a sharp16" blade this little machine is impressive- who knows?

After finally using this saw, I've got to pass on what I found.  Bought this as my second electric chain saw (first one was only good for trimming bushes).  I picked up an Ego weed trimmer and really liked it so I bought one  Didn't have a chance to use it until today  What you see took less than fifteen minutes and while the battery is only 2.5ah, it only used 1/4 of a charge!  While this is somewhat wet holly,  I am seriously impressed.  I was thinking about getting a Stihl, but didn't like the price and having to get yet another different battery type.  Very happy with this one.

I like the size and the power. No trouble starting just charg and go . best saw i ever had

I have had several gas chain saws. It always comes down to them failing to start. This saw is lighter, chargers in 30 minutes and has plenty of for the clean up jobs I have.
