EGO POWER+ 16" Chainsaw Starter Kit

CS1800 chainsaw

Purchased CS1800 from Lowes Dec 2025. Did not begin to use it until late April of 2026. I was using it on a felled tree trunk having about a 3 ft diameter. The battery would die out after about a half hour. And it would take about 3 hours to recharge fully. I did not see that as a show stopper but something I wish I had known before I bought it. The real show stopper......after about 2.5 hours of use the chain would loosen and I could no longer set the tension properly. It hung off the bar. I h...

Never going back to gas

Saved my back, my weekend, and my wallet. **Verified Purchase** I’ve used gas chainsaws for years, but after this, **I am officially never going back.** We had a massive tree come down after a recent storm. Since I was tackling the cleanup completely by myself, everyone in my family was nagging me to "be careful." I was honestly dreading it and fully planned on this taking me a few days of miserable, stop-and-start labor. Instead, I knocked the entire thing out in about **an hour** on a su...

My EGo 16" chainsaw

I bought this saw in 2023 and it is the saw I grab for first. I have 6 12AH batteries for my Z6 zero turn mower so when my 5AH battery dies I man up and install one of the heavier batteries and keep cutting. The saw doesn't take oil very well and it is hard to see the oil level in the bottle but otherwise I love this saw. When you need to cut a branch or knot off for the sawmill or wood splitter it is so nice to pull the trigger and do the work instead of tugging on a cord! All in all it has be...

Ego Awesome - Lowe's not so much

Haven't used the saw yet but I'm sure it'll be great just like all my other Ego gear - a presumtive 5 stars. However, Lowe's is another story. Not sure what's going on with this company but it's nothing good. Saw was advertised on 11/30 for $249 online, good through 12/24 and showed 4 in stock locally. Drove to store, grabbed it and went through the self checkout. Price came up $399, which necessitated the attendant to call for an override supervisor. He manually put in the $249 but when I used ...

Love it or Cut It!

If you want power in a small chainsaw then you found it. Cut down a very large Arboretum seemed like it was made from stone. But the EGO+ 16" cut though it like a champ. Saved me hundreds of dollars. Thank you, EGO+. You saved my winter snow blowing and now my fall and summer projects.

Order Pick -Up

Ordered an EGO Chain Saw. At pick up the box was pretty beat up but the desk personnel said all was good. Kind of embarrassing to give a gift in that condition. A lot of clear tape used to keep it together. Opened it on Father's day and found that some of the internal packaging may be missing. Instructions, warranty etc. all missing. Will be returning today. 😒

Not as good as I had hoped it would be

First, my experience with Lowe's was great. The chainsaw was delivered very quickly and the return process was easy. I really, really wanted to like this chainsaw. I read reviews all over the place and everyone seemed to be saying it was a great saw. It's very quiet and cuts well. I bought a pair of upgraded Oregon chains (the one it comes with is not great) and used new bar oil. It's possible that I just got one with a bad battery, but I worked on two trees and it overheated both times a...

You only have 48 hours to return a chainsaw.

Looked up price online, stated price was $349.00. Went to store, picked up chainsaw, rang up $399.00, called an associate over, she had to call a manager to assist. We were told LOWE'S does NOT MATCH online prices. We could order online and pickup. Tried to order online, website said LOWE'S Claremore was OUT OF STOCK. My husband just one in his hand from inside the store. I went back inside to service desk. I told the service desk associate, online shows Claremore was "OUT OF STOCK. The ...

Takes a licking and keeps on ticking

True story, my wife is coming up the driveway and ran over the saw trying not to hit my "limousine" aka zero-turn. Outside of a crack in the housing the saw works great. Got it in the fall of 25 to replace the blue battery saw that quit working after about 3 years. Plenty of power and battery run time for me. At 70, when the battery runs out it's time to sit down and rest while it charges.

Variable speed trigger takes some getting used to

Used the saw today to take down some trees in the 6" to 8" diameter range. Had great power for cutting trees down and cutting them all up into "firewood" length. Every bit as I would expect from a gas saw, but without the noise or the hard start. Not a fan of the variable speed trigger--I'm either cutting or I'm not, so the variable speed adds nothing to the saw's usefulness. All in all, it is a pretty good value.
