Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Being in the tree business at one point in my life, I know a thing or two about chainsaws. I honestly never thought I'd see the day where I would use, much less own, an electric chainsaw. But I have to say, this thing's a beast for what it is. I've used gas saws that weighed twice as much and performed half as good. So... The Pros: -lightweight -plenty of power -aggressive chain -ergonomically easy to use -chain tensioning system works well -quiet (compared to gas) -no tip kick back -Much cleaner, quieter and less of a hassle compared to gas. The Cons -a cord can make things more challenging -the oversized chain adjuster knob will loosen by rolling itself against the wood when making tight cuts on that side. -uses way to much bar oil IMO. I get that the more lubrication the better but a little oil goes a long way. (old trade solution: use thicker oil) -because of the no kick tip, it also won't cut well at the tip. A good thing for safety. Not so good when you need the tip for carving a tight area. (but this does not apply to the average person so should be irrelevant.) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone.
