EGO Power+ CS1611 16-Inch 56V Lithium-Ion Cordless Chainsaw, Battery and Charger Included, Black

We all know this chainsaw isn't intended for serious loggers, but it's dang near perfect for a homeowner who just needs to keep their yard trimmed up and to cut the occasional fallen limb or tree. This isn't due to a lack of power or cutting ability, but just a limitation of the battery power. It does use a light duty chain, though. Be aware, it's still fairly heavy. If you're looking for a light, easy to carry saw, this isn't it. It's probably lighter than a comparable gas powered saw, but it's still not light. It has the power to cut large trees, but you may need to charge the battery before you finish. I've seen complaints in some reviews about it leaking bar and chain oil. I don't believe it's actually a leak. Mine puts a LOT of oil on the chain. That oil gets thrown off and onto the body of the saw. Then, it slowly runs off while the saw sits. This is a good thing! Just store it on a piece of cardboard to soak up the oil. It'll help the chain last longer. Over all, this is a great product with serious power. Be careful and happy cutting!

great saw and plenty of power! We used to to help clear an area for a barn and it cut well with plenty of power. My wife likes to use it because it is lighter than a gas saw. I had my gas saw but this thing kept up no problem. Battery life was pretty good, lasted 3 hours of cutting and charged fairly fast

I've had a lot of battery tools over the years but I've stayed away from outdoor equipment because I'm even tougher on and more demanding of outdoor equipment than I am my shop tools. A while ago I did get a 6" battery chainsaw, a cheap knockoff, and I was impressed with it. It was so easy to use and it was so useful! Then my 16" Stihl chainsaw died and I was forced to make a choice, electric or gas to replace it. I have a 20" & 28" gas saw for heavy cutting. This is my light duty saw, it's for limbs, small trees, yard cleanup. While it never sees the hardest use, it's the saw I'm most likely to grab for some quick project. While I was skeptical, the reviews both on Amazon and the rest of the internet, had me believing this EGO Power+ CS1611 might be the right choice. Turns out it definitely is the right choice. I had a small tree (about 25 ft tall, 12" diameter) fall over a few days before the saw came. I charged up the battery overnight and got to work in the morning. This saw was every bit as good as my Stihl and in many ways better. It's compact, light-weight, and much quieter. More importantly, it cuts fast. As fast as any small gas chainsaw I've ever had previously. It's well-balanced, the dogs work well, and the no tool chain tensioning is great. I thought the thing I was going to like most about this chainsaw was going to be starting it. Small gas chainsaws are ALWAYS a pain to start, even when they're broken in and perfectly tuned. I was wrong, although just pressing a button to start it is wonderful. Turns out the thing I love best about this saw is the lack of vibration. I've gotten old enough that the vibration of a chainsaw will leave my wrists, elbows, and shoulders sore after even a fairly short bit of use. I cut up the entire tree and the next day there was no soreness because there's almost no vibration. So if you're older, this saw is much easier on your joints. As far as battery life, I'd say that the included 2.5Ah battery is about equivalent to a 1/2 tank of gas in my old Stihl 16". I did the whole tree on one battery but the battery was done at the end. I've already got a 2nd battery and I think if I run through both batteries my body will be done even if the work isn't. So, if you're looking for a great, small, chainsaw and you're on the fence between gas and battery, get off the fence. This is the saw to get!

Great for small jobs, however, don’t compare the power to gas, l love it for small jobs and it is very quiet. Also the battery can be topped up at any level of charging, without damaging the battery.👍

What a joy to use. Easy to setup. Just needed to charge and add chain oil. Excellent performance. Cut thru 6-10" branches and 4x4s without any problems. Lightweight. No fussing with gas or pull starts.
