Bottom line: For around the yard/home owner type of gig, this saw is great! Its light, easy to use, low noise, low oil use, smoke free and quite sturdy and powerful. I would absolutely recommend it!
If I had to criticize it I would say two things: The bar seems a bit thin, rather delicate, I think that might be a potential weakness if you are not careful and gentle. Also, the trigger does not have variable speed- its ether 100% power or off. I don't think that is an issue really, just thought that it would be nice to have some more control and less speed for the small stuff.

PROS:
- It cuts great! Smooth and fast, it was able to drive straight through the thick pieces of wood on my kids old, playground. It made it so simple to cut it down into smaller sections that could go right into the outside trash bin.
- Having no prior knowledge of assembling a chainsaw, or what to expect, I was able to get everything put together without issue.
- Take care of branches like a pro. I was able to cut everything, from smaller branches (appx 2" in diameter), to much thicker ones. No problems at all.
- Self lubricating chain is great! The last chainsaw I owned had a little 'push button' to administer the oil. This chainsaw does it automatically, and even has a see through section so you know when the oil is getting low.
CONS:
- On your first use (as stated in the instructions) you'll want to keep a close eye on the chain. It will likely loosen up during sawing through things. You'll need to unplug it, and re-tighten a few times. (otherwise, you risk damaging the chain)
- If you're a smaller person (I'm 5'0 with a thin build), it is a bit heavy, making it a bit more difficult to lift. But, I was still able to tackle all tasks in the end (just with caution).
- It does require assembly, and if you're not familiar with chainsaws, the instructions are a bit confusing. (However, I was still able to piece everything together without a problem, and it's working great - I went by the little visuals, versus actually reading the text, since it used terms I wasn't familiar with).
TIP: Be sure to have your bar and chain oil ready, you do not want to run / use this chainsaw without it as it can damage the chain.
Overall, I really am happy with this chainsaw and it's holding up great to get the jobs done with ease.
Pros
- Very light
- Very easy to adjust the chain.
- Works every time I squeeze the trigger. No more pulling on a starting rope.
Cons
- Chain drive sprocket is a consumable. Be sure to purchase spares. It is easy to replace.
- Since it is light, it may not cut as rapidly as a gas chainsaw. That said, if you keep your chain sharp and let it work, it does a great job.
If you have one of these units be sure to do the following.
- Make sure you know how to install the chain. Adjust the chain tightening mechanism so that the bar is as close to the sprocket as possible. Place the chain on the bar, wrap the chain around the drive sprocket, then place the bar on the mounting bolt, then install the cover and adjust the chain tension.
- Make sure to keep your chain sharp. Don't use crappy chains or let them get too dull.
- Make sure that you use proper extension cords of sufficient AWG. Don't use 14ga. or 16ga. cord.
- Consider using Canola oil instead of traditional bar oil. It is inexpensive and flows well, keeping your chain and bar lubricated.
- Monitor your drive sprocket for wear and replace as necessary.

Cuts well
Reviewed in Mexico on May 15, 2020
I knew absolutely nothing about chainsaws, and had never touched one, prior. However, when a large maple tree fell on my property, I started researching, looking for something effective, safe, easy to use and, this being a tool for (very) occasional usage, budget was a big consideration.
In short, it was everything my research had suggested; it made fast and easy work out of my maple tree. For the homeowner who, like me, will have occasional need for a chainsaw, I would not hesitate to recommend this product.
