What Customers Are Saying
The cordless electric chainsaw is a capable tool for small to medium-sized cutting tasks. It offers good cutting power, ease of use, and long battery life, allowing users to tackle trees and logs up to 10 inches in diameter on a single charge. However, some users noted the chain can come loose easily and require frequent tightening, and the saw may lack power for very large or dense wood. Overall, it is a suitable option for homeowners looking to handle occasional yard work and light tree trimming without the maintenance of a gas-powered model.

The chainsaw was incapable of cutting through even a 1-inch bush stem. It "chewed" it up and smoked terribly. Additionally, the chain kept falling off. I was unable to get my money back because I didn't open and use it (discovering that it's useless) within Lowe's 48 hour return policy.

The chainsaw comes with a battery and charger.
I thought it was funny that it didn’t come in an extra box because I bought that for a Father’s Day gift. Any knew what exactly was without me to be able to surprise him? Thanks Lowe’s for a funny jokes for my Father’s Day gift.

Beginner and light work
Great electric saw for small circumference and doesn't drain too much battery. Was using it to teach my son operate and have him learning to wedge. He cut off about 20 small limbs around 2 to 3 inches and still had 1/2 battery life from a 4.0 extended. We both liked the weight, the tensioner design isn't the greatest but easy to use. He had a hard time tightening the chain after the 20th cut. Could be from rushing or pressuring down instead of letting it work. We've only used it 3 times but it h...

I am pleased
so far so good. Ive bought other ones in the past like four! and they kept blowing the chain and were dull. This has surpassed all of them, which makes me happy cause I need a chainsaw to do all my yard work for the house.

They should buy one for themselves
What I like about this handy little battery operated chainsaw is u can use it and don’t smell like gas and it is small enough and light enough to place it in my side by side and go through the woods to trim the overhanging branches. And it is light enough to carry the fence line around the mountain to trim the limbs off the fence

Garbage chain, bet China freight has better.
First time trying to use this, 30 seconds in the chain bent and now will not go into the bar track. In that 30 seconds chain BARELY cut anything... a sawzaw would cut a branch faster. I will now buy a decent quality chain that will actually cut. Lowes has failed here. Garbage.

I call that poor service.

Frugal Compact Saw
I bought this saw Fall 2025 after I bought my home to clear up brush in my back year. It is good for brush like privet bush. I have cut things 6/8 inches, up to almost a foot in diameter, but a foot is guessing. With the 24 volt batter, I switch it between my weed deter, blower and saw. All three use the same battery. I would say for any thing a foot and below it can handle it, experts might have a more accurate opinion. Frugal Compact Saw
Perfect for small jobs and yard work
Its great for small projects that won't require too much power. I wouldn't want to buck a winter's worth of firewood, but trimming bushes or clearing a log would be just fine. Assembly was quick and easy, and the directions were clear.

DON'T Order anything online from Lowe's, either go in person or just head over to any other place. They use FEDEX instead USPS or UPS so yeah.
