What Customers Are Saying
The battery-powered tool offers excellent cutting power and performance, comparable to gas-powered chainsaws. It operates quietly with no fumes or mess, and has an easy-to-use design with instant start/stop. The well-balanced and lightweight construction makes it easy to maneuver. While the battery life is good, an extra battery is recommended for longer jobs. The durable build quality is generally reliable, though some minor issues have been reported around chain tensioning and oiling.

Would Not RecommendBought the 18 inch chainsaw and it has never oiled properly from the start, I’ve used the ego brand chain lube and it still doesn’t do anything. I’ve had to resort to using a spray bottle and oil it by hand. Burned through a handful of blades now. It’s a pretty good chainsaw with plenty of power, just doesn’t work like it should.

18" Chainsaw and 5amp battery
Would RecommendI have only used it once, it worked very well. I like it because when you release the trigger, it stops. Also, buying this with the 5amp battery provided us with an additional battery for our other EGO tool (21" mower, weed-eater, blower). My only wish \ suggestion is that EGO would provide a service to "fix" a battery that will not take a full charge (10amp battery 6 years old, only 2 out of 5 lights will charge).

CS1800 chainsaw
Would Not RecommendPurchased 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...

All things EGO
Would RecommendFrom lawn mowers to the chain saws and the power head with attachments I’ve used and abused their products and I can say confidently with 10+ years of hard use they make great stuff that holds up. I still have the 16” chain saw that I’ve been cutting all my firewood since 2016 and it still works great. The new 18 was an addition for larger logs.

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...
Good homeowners saw
Compared to the 18” poulon pro this is replacing, I wasn’t able to bog the Ego down at all. Cut though with no problems. Was concerned with there not being a full case that I’d end up with bar oil all over, but however they setup the automatic oil system, it doesn’t leak between uses. Really happy with my purchase.

Not as good as a gas-powered saw
Torque is not as good as a gas-powered unit, thus it does not cut as well.
