Performs well within its range
This chainsaw is good for what it is. It is similar to my battery powered polesaw. After using it the first time, it felt like a toy, but it got the job done. It fills the gap between my bladed weedwacker and my 18" Stihl. I used it to cut a 3" oak but it took a lot longer than my Stihl. So now I know its range. I mostly use it to cut scrub trees/bushes from 1-3" and trim limbs within the safety zone. It is perfect for that.
It is lightweight and therefore easy to control. It doesn't use fossil fuels or pollute and I don't have to use hearing protection which helps with my situational awareness. For its first test I ran it for about 50 minutes like I would a regular saw. Cut, limb, drag the mess to a pile...rinse and repeat. There was still lots of battery left.
You can't think this is going to perform like a regular saw but it is an excellent saw for clearing smaller brush although you can cut bigger trees, just not as efficiently. I like that it is a big name brand so I will be able to get new batteries in years to come.
