I can't say enough about this. It's an amazing saw. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. I've had Husqvarna, Craftsman and several other gas saws. This is soooooo much better. I never have to deal with stalls, gas/oil mixtures, it shuts off between cuts, it's quieter.I absolutely love it.I bought extra batteries for longer run times. They charge in about 20 minutes so I can swap around easily if there's power nearby. I've downed and cut up 16" diameter trees, cuts through limbs like butter.Most of the time I run a 14" bar and chain. That's long enough for most of what I do, lighter and easier to wield.I don't know if I'd want to deal with recharging if I was an arborist for a living, away from a power source, but for general home use, this thing is nothing short of life-changing. I used to dread having to get my saw out, wrestle with starting, fueling, maintaining and stabilizing the right mix, etc. I leave this on the back porch and grab it whenever I go out for firewood.Because I don't have to use gas/oil, I can throw it in the cab of the truck any time and not worry about fumes or spillage.Starts and runs every time. It's taken chain saw use from frustrating to fun.My one hesitation is that I haven't used it in the summer yet. I have a little 20v Black and Decker that heats ups and shuts down quickly in anything but the coldest weather. This 80V Greenworks has never shut down on me and I've seen reviews that says it doesn't have overheating issues but I'll test that for myself over the hot southern NC summer.I also bought the Leaf Blower (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CLSDL517) so now I have two chargers. The leaf blower is also great. I'm recommending both to family and friends.
