EGO POWER+ 56-Volt Cutting and Cleanup

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...

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. 😒

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Was happy but now I am not

Bought 2 years ago. Worked great, until it did not. I fully charged the battery but the saw will not work. I have called the Support line 4 times. No one ever answers. I punched the button for a call back, but no one has ever called. Very frustrating. A good product with no support is not a good product. What do you have to do to get to support?

Cuts well,Convenient

Cut 18 trees this weekend with this and an 18" gas Husquvarna chainsaw. Trees were between 12" and 30" diameter - almost all pine. Ego pros: Convenient Was really nice being able to set it down and pick it up, no chain pulling, no fuss just pull the trigger. Noise (or lack thereof) being able to hear others, and the reduced noise also reduced general fatigue. Fumes (lack thereof) Vibration (lack thereof) significantly less vibration Cons: Not quite as powerful as the Husky, didn't spin up...

Impressive Power

Bought the 18" chainsaw a month ago to cut up half of a maple tree that came down from wind storm. As long as the chain is sharp and the battery full, it was able to cut very fast and well thru logs that were wider than the 18 inch chain. The battery life is dependent on the thickness and density of the wood I cut but it was what I expected. The only problem was that chain was not getting oiled. I used regular bar oil when I first started using it but never got much oil on the chain. Read on th...
