    • Easy to use
Size: Kit with two 5.0Ah batteries
Great little saw. Easy to use, At first I thought it felt kind of heavy. I have never used a chain saw. But once I used it I found it to not be heavy at all. It has plenty of power for my purpose. It has a 16Inch bar. Perfect for small jobs. Very easy and simple to use. I love this saw. It was easy to put together in just a few steps. Chain is easy to tighten as needed. Chanrging station that comes with the batteries which is all included with the saw. About the charging station. I am more than a little confused about this. The indicator lights and the instructions are confusing. This happens frequently with foreign made things. I am concerned I am not charging the batteries enough or too much. Not sure about this at all. It is important not to over or under charge batteries. ... show more

    • Awesome - Be Surprised
Size: Kit with two 4.0Ah batteries
We have a lot of trails on 15 acres. I used to carry my big Husqvarna chainsaw for fallen trees and keeping things clear. Not any more. I use this saw for all but the toughest jobs. For cutting, it acts like a big gas saw - without the weight, noise or gas cans. The batteries last longer than I expected. The chain replacement and adjustments are super simple. Note Regarding Battery Management: For very long continuous cutting, get a heavy duty gas saw. But for clean up jobs, a few fallen trees or trail management this saw does great! Battery overheating shortens their lifespan. ... show more

Size: Chain Saw Only
I haven't used it much yet. I definitely tested it out. I love it so much so far 💙💙💙 easy to figure out and use. Very sharp blades! Very quiet compared to gas equiv. Yay! Hope it has the longevity of its gas competition. Haven't had good luck with those lately. Makita is an awesome brand.

    • Just understand it's limitations
Size: Chain Saw Only
From an electric saw standpoint, this checks all the boxes. Batteries last about as long as the competition. Power is quite good. Can easily get through cuts larger than 16". But know what you are buying. This machine, even with numerous batteries, isn't going to be cutting continuously for hours. A had a large downed hardwood tree that needed removed and it would take about 20 sets of batteries to get through the thing. Granted it's a massive tree, but that job required a gas chain saw. That said, I LOVE this thing for intermediate use jobs. And it excels at those. Love that I don't have to clean carbs, etc. Starts every time (duh) and no issues. ... show more

    • I'm Done With Gas Chainsaws
Size: Kit with two 5.0Ah batteries
I've used a Stihl gas chainsaw for years. I'm so tired of hard starting (great exercise if that's what you want!) and replacing parts (carburator, ignition coil, air filters) and messing with gas and oil mixtures. I've had it with all of the maintenance required with gas engines. I was skeptical about battery operated chainsaws (do they have enough power? Does the battery last long enough to do the Job? How long do the Lithium batteries last? Manufacturer warrantee is for 5 years. Very good.) I just completed making 102 cuts in 6 to 8 inch pine logs and a dozen cuts in some very hard oak. The saw cut like a knife through butter. I realize that's a function of the very sharp Oregon chain that's included. But the saw didn't slow down a bit and I still had 1 bar showing on the two battery packs when I got done. I'm perfectly happy with the performance of the saw. The nice side benefits of this saw are: Low noise, you do not have to wear hearing protection like with a gas saw. No fumes and smoke. No messy gas to mix and pour! No gas to go bad from sitting around! No carburator to clean or change! NO IGNITION COIL OR SPARK PLUG to mess with. No vigorous hard starting exercise and NO CHOKE! God I hate unreliable small gas engines! I have wasted my time working on them for many years. I have no affiliation with Makita. This definitely is not a paid endorsement of their chainsaw. I paid full retain price for the saw on Amazon. I don't know if you should buy one or not but I am glad I did. I gave it to myself for Christmas! Addendum 6 months later: Today I took down a dead (and very hardwood) oak tree that died a few years ago. About 14 inch diameter. I bucked it down into 15 inch logs. (a couple dozen of them). The saw cut nicely through the hard oak. I was surprised. When I finished felling, limbing, and cutting up the logs I still had one bar (approx 25%) charge left. This really surprised me. I started with a new out of the box saw blade and was careful not to try to push through the cut but let the blade do the work. I am so happy to be rid of all gas driven chain saws, what a pain in the neck. Of course if I was a REAL lumber jock (jack?) a gas chainsaw would be necessary due to the higher power, capacity, and no charging stations in the woods!! Also the wider chains on the gas saws are much more rugged and less susceptible to damage. One of the disadvantage of the narrow kerf chainsaw blades (Oregon) is that the teeth can be stripped right off by a pebble in the bark or exceptionally hard wood when you do not maintain a smooth cut. Rough jerky cutting is hard on saws and the more delicate teeth are easily damaged. Like all chainsaws knowing how to sharpen my own blades is an economic necessity. Paying for sharpening costs almost as much as a new blade. ... show more
