I've only used it a couple of times so far but I love this little saw. Much lighter than my gas chainsaw and the battery life is longer than I expected. I have a whole line of Greenworks products and really appreciate them all. I'm 81 years old and when I'm high up in a tree in my yard I've often thought how great it would be to have a chainsaw with an electric starter, as it can be very difficult in starting a gas powered saw when you're trying to hold on to a limb too. But the answer came in this battery powered chainsaw and I highly recommend it as I do ALL Greenworks products. Their only item that I would have any complaint about is their grass trimmer. It works great but is very difficult in extending the string out constantly. I know, I should go back to work as a salesman for Greenworks. HA
