Solid performer, doesn't like starting up in the cold
I have used this splitter on multiple weekends over the past couple of months to split about five cords of wood. The stock I've been working with has been mostly red oak and Beach, with diameters up to 20 inches.Once you get the device operating, it is a very reliable performer. It's not the fastest on the market, nor or is it the strongest, but it is quiet for what it does and it can go for hours.The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that it does not like to start up in colder temperatures. Where I live in the Northeast it's regularly in the 30s and 40s when I am splitting wood and this unit does not like those kinds of temperatures.And the way that it shows it's displeasure with the temperature is that it pops the breaker into which it is plugged! The strategy that I use to deal with that is when I have a plan to split wood I will bring the unit into a heated space in the house the night before, and then roll it out when I'm ready to use it the next day.In operation, it is quiet (especially when compared to gas splitters). The movement of the piston will not break any records, either forward or backwards. But I knew all of that from the technical specs before buying the unit, so no surprises there.And I find that using the unit in a sitting / kneeling position to get to the switch lever can be tough on the back. But that's the price you pay for portability. On the portability front, this can be a tough device to move. I am just shy of 6 feet and rolling the unit (it's heavy!), requires me to hunch a bit, and the legs catch me right in the calf if I take a normal stride.All in, I am very happy with the unit.

Taking into account the facts above, the Boss 7 ton is a nice unit with a few caveats. See Pro/Con below:
Pro:
-Small footprint - easy to store
-More powerful than I thought. This little bear with chew through 14 inch ash logs without hesitation
-No fumes - you can run this anywhere indoors or outdoors
-Recognizes when the wood splitting load is too high and the hydraulic ram automatically reverses. When this occurs, the ram will not operate until you turn the pump motor off and back on again.
-Runs on regular 15 amp circuit. I ran the machine for an hour on a 12 gauge 25 foot extension cord on a 15 amp circuit with no issues
-Quiet, especially if you've ever used an 11 HP Honda 30 ton splitter
-A VAST improvement over hand splitting.
-A variety of accessories - 4 way splitter head, extension legs and a log tray, all ala carte of course.
-Simple maintenance and assembly. Unbox and screw on the power handle and you're done. Check the hydraulic oil before operation!
Con:
-a 14 second cycle time sounds quick on paper but in the real world, it’s slow. I know. It’s a $400 unit, not a $3000 unit. On the positive side, the slower cycle makes it safer to operate than a unit that has a 4 second cycle.
-This is where it gets interesting because the biggest cons for me are really simple fixes by Boss. There is an air release wing nut on the hydraulic ram that MUST be opened 4-5 full turns every time you run the splitter or you can blow the hydraulic seals out and void the warranty. OK, I get it - the problem is that the "signage" on the machine for opening that valve is NON-EXISTENT! I added my own - see photos with the yellow labels I added and the magic marker that denotes the location of the wing nut vent. I'd think there could be some sort of automatic pressure release available - the wing nut thing is pretty bush league.
-One hand operation which is a pro or a con depending on your opinion. Two hand allegedly is safer but I doubt that myself having used a "two handed" Homelite splitter. You have to run both machines to fully comprehend.
-Don't EVER lend this unit without explaining that wing nut valve requirement very carefully and explicitly or you're going to get a blown hydraulic ram back from your buddy and it won't be their fault.
-Works a lot better than hand splitting but as I pointed out, it's slow. I've split about a cord of wood with this unit and its a lot more work than a large tow behind splitter but far ahead of a hand maul.
-I wish the unit could be stood on end with greater stability and NOT having to remove the power handle. The footprint standing on end is remarkably small.
-Read the manual and watch the Boss website videos before operation. This isn't really a "con" but it will help you run the unit safely. Don't kid yourself, a 7 ton hydraulic ram can rip off fingers or a hand in a flash.
The video attached show the 4 way splitter accessory which is a separate review that I wrote but it allows you to see how the hydraulic ram knows to automatically "back up" when it meets too much resistance. It does the same thing without the 4 way splitter with gnarly or oversized logs.
Overall, the Boss 7 ton log splitter is well made, easy to use, simple to assemble and is a solid improvement over a hand splitting maul. It's deceptively heavy - like 115 pounds and the build quality is top rate. If you want a pardon from hand splitting, don't plan to be busting a cord of wood a day and can tolerate the slower pace of ~15 second cycle time, the Boss 7 HP splitter is a great machine!

Good power, far better than hand splitting but it's slow and has "signage" issues
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2019
I have lot of ash trees around my home and every year, the emerald ash borer claims another tree or two and I have then cut down which leaves me "free" firewood as long as I split it and I've done that by hand for years. Ash burns really well but it's a pain to hand split because it's sinewy and tough. Factor in my advancing age, too many years of playing ice hockey goal, three shoulder surgeries and I decided that my days of hand splitting with an 8 pound maul are over. But I don't have the room or need for a "real" 25 ton 9 HP Honda splitter on a towable trailer.Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2019

As good or better than my gas splitter!
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2024
I put off buying an electric splitter for years, thinking it would be wimpy. It's not!! My T-Rex arms (I'm 5ft 1) made it hard to pull start my gas splitter. One day in anger I bought this splitter as a plan for days I couldn't get the other started. I used it today and it had more power than my gas one. It made it through all these big rounds with ease. It's much quieter. The handle is easier to use. I was impressed!! Great splitter!!
