Great Saw... Give It A Few Minutes To Break In First, Is The Key

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

A great saw, first time I've tried an electric, and I have 30 years of chainsaw experience. Key point here, as with any new product of any type, is letting it break in. Give the chain time to stretch, let the new parts work a little before you really go at it. After a few minutes of that, the chain rolled smoothly, with no noise, and cutting was a breeze. Self oiler worked well, and if you use the bar and chain oil, which pours like glue, you don't have to worry about leaks, as opposed to using just SAE 30 weight motor oil, which will leak. See Picture Attached: I went to a local sawmill and purchased some two-year seasoned white oak 4"x6"x16' square posts, the sawmill couldn't sell, and so gave me a nice price for firewood. This electric saw cut through these tough and heavy posts with no effort. In the picture, I had cut 16 of those posts, only stopping twice to sharpen the cutting teeth. Checked the bar/chain oil and it had only used half. I'm very pleased, and I found when I went to Lowe's for the bar/chain oil, they have a cross reference book that lists this model, and Lowe's carries replacement chains and sharpening files for it. Very convenient!

Electric all the way! So much better (faster, stronger, cleaner, quieter) then gas chainsaws!

Verified Purchase

Three years ago I bought from Amazon the "Poulan Pro PP5020AV 20-Inch 50cc 2 Stroke Gas Powered Chain Saw With Carrying Case" for $231.14. Initially this gas chainsaw worked fine, but after less than a year it began developing problems. I spend a lot of money buying parts for it, and finally gave up and took it to a repair shop. So far I've spend over $150 and the saw still doesn't work reliably. Tired of the smell, leaking oil, unreliability, difficulty starting and very high expense I finally gave away the Poulan and bought this wonderful Earthwise chainsaw. I cut wood to warm my home in the winter, so a reliable chainsaw is very important to me! The Earthwise saw was on sale for $62 down from $109 (which was nearly the same as my last repair bill on the Poulan). I bought a 100 foot extension cord and teamed it up with my little Honda EU2000i generator. The result was amazing!! No hearing protection! No struggling to start the saw! No worries about having put Stay-bil in the chainsaw gas can! No more mixing fuel!! The Earthwise runs instantly without hassles. It cuts 10 inch and 12 inch logs with ease -- just as fast or faster than the Poulin. And I don't have to stop every few minutes to re-fuel, tighten the chain, and guess if the bar/chain oil is out. The Earthwise has a bar/chain oil reservoir that is visible, so you can see at a glance when it needs to be refilled. The chain can be tightened with a turn of a nob. Why didn't I do this years ago!!! You won't regent getting this excellent chainsaw!

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

I had to wait for the Memphis weather to cool down a bit before I could even think about getting out to cut some of the stuff I needed to cut around the house. Finally I was able to get out and take down one of the trunks on a big 4-trunked male tree in the front yard that was leaning over the driveway. The saw worked like a champ! I cut it down and cut it up quite easily. A few days later I went to use it again, and was going to fill it with oil. That was when I learned that it hadn't used any! I never noticed while I was cutting, but the bar/chain were apparently never being oiled!

I contacted Earthwise customer service and they sent out a replacement, no questions asked. I had a new, upgraded saw (newer model) within a few days! I filed it with oil and took it out back and attacked another tree. After about :10, I checked the oil reservoir and noted that it had gone down, and that the chain was oily. I like a company that stands behind their products! Best of all, I did not have to send the old saw back! They told me to use it for spare parts or dispose of it as I saw fit. I have a spare bar and chain now!

They are both similar in size and weight. Both are easily adjusted (bar tension) and disassembled for cleaning. I was cutting through tree trunks 10-15" in diameter with relative ease. Many years ago I used to live up north and heated my home primarily with wood. I have owned a couple of gas saws in the past, this is my first experience with an electric. It does have benefits, and drawbacks, but it seems to have enough power for what I need it to do. Perfect for a suburban homeowner.

The replacement model (CS33016) would rate 5 stars, but I think the original one would only get 3, so I split the difference ...

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

Five stars for Earthwise's customer service since they sent me a new chainsaw, BUT . . . three stars for the saw. Here's why: Put oil in, no oil comes out. Ever. Not while it's sitting around and not while it's running. This would save on oil, but ruin the saw. Both saws have exactly the same problem, which appears to be a completely different problem than that observed by others, namely, oil leakage. So my two saws (for the price of one) are very clean, but if I don't oil the chain myself, they would self-destruct. My solution is to oil the chain and bar using an oilcan, which isn't at all convenient, but it works, and the saw works very well on that basis. Smooth, reasonably powerful, cuts wood great. But those two oil reservoirs---it's as if there's no outlet, no drip (or whatever) to the bar and chain. It's just a closed bottle that happens to be attached to the saw. So forget about "automatic" oiling. You are the oiler.

I purchased this saw a few weeks ago and on the visual inspection the saw looked new and good. Well I got busy at work and just left it in my closet while the return window expired. I went to use it today and the saw cuts good as you would expect but the chain oiler does not work. I guess I am stuck with it now. I remember reading a review about the oiler not working but I thought I would take a chance on it. Good saw bad oiler. Probably would not buy again.
