80V 18" Brushless Chainsaw (Tool Only)

Defective product. The on switch has stopped working the same as in the other product review.

I have owned an earlier version of this chainsaw for several years and would give it five stars. It has been excellent in every respect. But I bought another newer version (one of the differences is that it lacks an on button starting directly from the trigger.) It failed within weeks of light use refusing to start as if the brake bar was on which was not the case. I was sent a replacement. This also failed similarly within weeks of light use. I contacted Greenworks and was sent another replacement. This similarly has failed. There is clearly a design or manufacture problem; there is no point my receiving another replacement. This is a great pity as the original machine continues to exceed my expectations continuing to work well after several years of quite heavy use. I hope Greenworks solves this problem but until then should withdraw this product.

I'm a city boy turned country boy; and now I take care of a few acres of land we bought.

After using this thing a while, it has done exactly what I've needed of it, and I've slowly learned to be more confident with it as a tool.

I love the power-weight when a 4Ah battery is in it, though the 5Ah does seem to perform better IMO. I have had zero issues with it, and it's done its job remarkably well. I recently bought a small, handheld saw to go with this to make it easier/safer after taking down a tree/branch, and processing the smaller bits. Having this chainsaw is great for processing the wood, but sometimes having something small, the size of a drill, just works better, faster, and feels safer. When it's a bit further, out of reach, up high, then the pole saw is just amazing.

If you're buying this, I've had mine a few seasons, and the bar still seems "perfect". After any bigger jobs, I always go back and touch up the chain. I highly recommend Stihl (or knock off) hand sharpener tool that takes care of both the gullet and the raker. I mean, you can do both manually, separately, but having the two in the same tool to help keep them in reasonable balance of each other seems to make sense to me.

I've never needed to cut down anything that required more than the 18", though I did have to process a large tree that washed up on the beach once, but usually it's something less than the 18" I have to work with with this saw.

Yes, got this fantastic 80V chainsaw, this is my 2nd one, so I can have help! Works great, low maintenance, no gas, no pull start! The best!

Prior to purchasing this chainsaw I had borrowed a Greenworks trimmer from a neighbor as my old one had finally bit the dust. I was apprehensive with using battery-powered yard tools but upon using the trimmer I was instantly sold. I dropped it back off thanked my neighbor and promptly purchased the trimmer.Shortly after ordering the trimmer I decided to order the chainsaw as I have wanted one but hadn't previously purchased one. I don't really have a need for a chainsaw on a regular basis but there are times when these old trees fall in our neighborhood and I feel useless because I can't help move them from the streets.No more. Since purchasing the chainsaw I eagerly awaited the chance to use it. Lo and behold I was given that chance a few weeks back after a gnarly windstorm knocked down and old tree behind a couple of our houses.I promptly chugged my coffee and got to work. Using the chainsaw to trim the tree was like cutting through butter with a knife made of lava. It was dreamy. It was perfect. And oh so quiet!I am sold on Greenworks. These tools are rad and I will be recommended them to everyone forever.

This will be replacing my Stihl!

Used the 80v chainsaw to clear 2 miles of trail - 30 trees from 3-22 It worked great! With the batteries in my pack the empty saw weighed less than half what my Stihl weighs and it's quieter and easier to start and stop.

The chainsaw worked great right out of the box so I headed out to our forest to take down a dead fir tree. Needed to adjust the chain tension but that was simple to do.

Long battery life. Keep screwdriver handy to tighten chain frequently. Sawed through 14 branch 13 trunk many 8 buckthorns.

Works well no problems

I bought this tool about 2 months ago to take down a tree in the yard. The power is strong and the battery lasted a long time. What's frustrating is the chain. It falls off constantly especially when using at an angle. The process to replace the chain is simple but costs you 5-10 minutes each time. Chain should not come off this frequently.

Excellent power and it feels very solid built. Very easy to maintain so far. I moved from 40 V to 80 V and the change worked very well for me. The cutting speed is also great.

easy to use beats gas chainsaw

Very powerful chainsaw for it's weigh and size. Much better than gas powered chainsaws in its class.

It meet my expectations and more. Works just as good as a gas saw and the batter last for a very long time at last 45 min to hr of cutting continuous.

I quite like this chainsaw especially as it is not gas driven. The chain did come off rather early in my usage of it but the hardware store fixed it quickly. I also like that the batteries that power my Greenworks mower also power this chainsaw. What can be better!

Just used it for the first time today. I cut down a branch the size of my outstretched hand with ease. Pretty happy with the product. Have used Husky products in the past but shifted over to full electric

I purchased the chainsaw directly from the company. It was clearly a customer return item that had been thrown back into the box with being repackaged or tested. It was missing a part. I tried to contact the company but could never get through on the customer service line nor was there a valid email address to use for a complaint. I would never buy directly from the company website again. If anything goes wrong I know I am out of luck.

I like the power the quick start stop operation . I like the ease of the battery power no messing with two cycle engine . But after a half hour of operation the chain pops off the bar from cutting branches even if the correct tension is on the chain !! I've cut down an estimated 200 trees every year for the past 20 years so I'm experienced at operating a chainsaw but keeping the chain on the bar is very difficult with this saw !!

There was no wrench in the box like stated on the packing list

Looking forward to using this wonderful saw. Very light and well balanced.

Ordered Pro 80V 18 Brushless Chainsaw (Tool Only) on 4/2/22. But never received the order. The status says Your order has been received and will be sent out shortly. Your credit card was authorized. Tried to call the customer support phone number multiple times and was always put on hold for over 45 minutes and then disconnected.

Handy for stop and go work but some flaws. Despite tightening chain jumps more easily than on my gas saw (which never jumps) - mainly when cutting small diameter branches (<1 inch). Wrench was not included. Oil cap has two parts and outer part keeps falling off.

Plenty of power to cut through a ten inch diameter oak tree that came down in a recent storm. Made short work of cutting the trunk into 15 logs to be split later.

Love the ability to use without gas. Good for most jobs.

Good improvements over previous model. Feels more sturdy on/off switch helps and easier to open oil cap.

I have a 40V Chainsaw of another brand but wants to utilize my 80V battery collection from my Lawnmower/weedwhacker. This thing has a lot of power and it very maneuverable considering it is 4' longer than my other saw.
