Impressive! But leaks like crazy...
3 Stars
Impressive! But leaks like crazy...
Wasn't too sure how this would perform. I'm building a mountain bike trail which requires cutting line through a very thick and dense section of nearby woods. Gas chainsaws are handy, but man what a hassle! I bought the lightest-weight version of this saw, 12" bar, to save on weight and bulk.Today was my first use of the unit. I was impressed! I worked my way along about a mile of trail over the span of several hours. Lots of cuts from everything to tree limb trimming, lots of 2-4" trees, and numerous deadfall logs (about 6" was the largest). It cuts slower than a gas-powered saw, but it sends out big chunks of wood and does the job.Some caveats. I used my existing weed trimmer 4.0 AH battery instead of the 2AH that comes with the unit. I didn't think the bigger capacity battery would even fit, but it does. I had the second one as a backup. After I ran out of bar oil, the 4.0 battery was at 50% charge. So I guess a 2.0 battery and the bar oil tank would run out about the same time. One thing I didn't like was the much touted see-through bar oil window didn't work for me. You can't see the level through the plastic! Too opaque. Even in direct sun. So be careful filling because it's easy to overflow the tank if you don't stop and check. I'll be carrying a small container of bar oil into the wood so I can keep cutting...Though the unit is very light weight, I fashioned a strap so I could just throw it over my shoulder hiking between jobs on the trail. Probably carry a spare chain too because we tend to get into the dirt a lot when trail building.I will likely add to and update this review as the spring season comes. This little champ will be getting a lot of use...until the ticks come out.UPDATE 3/21/19: Have used the heck out of this saw clearing out mountain bike trails. The only gripe now is how much oil it leaks IN USE. I think someone said the instruction manual states this, but after a few hours in the woods, my pants and shirt are COVERED with bar oil just from walking with the saw. Dropped to three stars...

4.0 out of 5 stars Really good, with two small exceptions
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2020
Size: 12" (2.0Ah) Gen 1Pattern Name: ChainsawVerified Purchase
I live on seven acres of land in north central Texas. I use the chain saw on the one acre of land on which our home sits, several times a year to cut fallen branches and limbs or to trim trees. I guess I'm like a lot of the "old guys" writing these reviews in that this battery powered chain saw is SO MUCH more convenient than its gas-powered predecessor. In fact, I know that in the past I've let a branch or limb sit as fallen for longer than I should have because I didn't want to go through the rigmarole of messing with getting the gas chainsaw prepped and started. Now, using this battery powered model requires about 10% of the time and effort previously used to prepare and start the gas powered saw.
Another realization: my gas saw was 14 inches; I've realized in the year or so I've owned the Greenworks, that 12 inches works fine for my purposes. I still have the 14, but haven't used it once, and probably never will.
The Greenworks works fine, and does a good quick job. I don't notice a significant difference between the gas and this one as far as time taken or quality of cuts. The battery lasts about two hours, which is about as much as I can do at one time anyway. In fact, it's never run out on me because I tucker out before the battery.
I'd highly recommend this product; I think you'll be glad you got it. All of that being said, there are two complaints I have. Like any chain saw, you have to make sure to use bar/chain oil. The problem is that the indicator to show you how much oil remains in oil compartment is not transparent; it's opaque. I've held it up in the sun, I've look at it in the shade, I've shined a flashlight on it to see how much oil I have left. You just can't tell. (You'd think some young, enterprising engineer or technician in the Greenworks family would have noticed this "emperor wearing no clothes" situation and said, "Ah, excuse me, but will the customer be able to actually see how much oil he/she has left?" Bottom line on this is that I use the saw for 20 or 25 minutes, and then I add fresh oil. By that time, the oil seems to have depleted itself. I 'd guess that in two hours of work, you'd probably have to add oil about five times. My second complaint is that while the battery snaps in place easily, it's a bear to get off. I sit in a garden chair with the unit ton the ground in front of me. I wrap both feet around its sides, and with BOTH hands pulling on the release lever, manage to pull off the battery. That's the only way I've been able to get it off.
If it weren't for those two complaints, I'd definitely give this saw five stars. Buy it...you'll be glad you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handy saw for small wood cutting jobs
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2022
Size: 12" (2.0Ah) Gen 1Pattern Name: ChainsawVerified Purchase
The saw arrived as expected with no missing items. I charged the battery and proceeded to remove some limbs that were bothering my mowing and I cut up an 8" tree that had blown over into logs to remove for firewood. The saw is light but powerful and the 12" blade is just right for small jobs. The battery showed no sign of weakness and I didn't run it down.

Update: So I bought the saw in Sep 2022, used it quite a bit and was quite pleased with the performance. Then i left it in my shed for a few months until I needed it again. Now, in July, 2023, I have a need but the battery is dead. No big deal, but it won't charge no matter what I do. Called their support number and gave them Amazon information from my order history (one of the best parts of Amazon, no sales slips to store or credit card info to look up, just go to Amazon and get the info, I love it). I then ran a couple of tests for the tech and he said he'd send a new one in 7-10 days. That was Aug 1. It arrived Aug 2, I charged it overnight and Aug 3 I cut an 8" tree and trimmed a few limbs in other areas. That's pretty good service in my book. I just hope the new battery lasts a long time.

A neighbor saw me struggling to cut a 5" limb with a bowsaw and let me use his electric saw. Wow. I saw this and I already had a 40V mower so I had to try it. Suffice to say, it works. When I needed to cut up a fallen limb, I didn't have to pre-mix gas or get the saw started and warmed up. I put a charged battery in and topped off the chain oil. Next time I needed it to cut down and saw up a low hanging limb, it was ready to go. Very handy.
