nice chainsaw

likes: metal Felling Dog strong motor very sharp blade good length 18" chain brake built in sharpener (not sure about this feature yet) Dislikes: chain tensioning components (made of a combination of metal and plastic parts, "this is never a good idea)

Might try again

Purchased online waited a week to get it and the first time I tried to use it I read the directions followed them exactly. But after 3 tries couldn't get it to feed oil. So never got a chance to see how well it worked. Ended up using my old gas saw with the 14" bar. Might try buying again maybe I just got a bad one it happens but not sure. But atleast I had no problems with returning it to Lowes.

I really love this thing. Its quiet, odor free (no gasoline motor/exhaust), low maintenance and it does an amazing job cutting through whatever you throw at it. If you've had one of those cheap 14 inch electric chainsaws like I did, you will be wowed by this one. Instead of a hex-wrench adjusting tensioning system, this has a dial/knob that makes removing and re-tensioning system a 1 minute endeavor. I strongly recommend skipping the cheap small chainsaw and going directly to this! It feels e...

First use

The electric corded chainsaw was easy to set up and to use on the first day.

Overwhelming

I didn’t expect such a quality product for only $114. This is built to last and it truly powers through tree trunks. I had a 40+ year old crab apple that fell in a night of high winds. I cut the 25 foot trunk into 18 inch sections in less time than it took to read the set up instructions and start. Absolutely satisfied.

Good saw for the price.

Good tool for the price. Has the power of a gas chain saw and was easy to use for a beginner like me. Make sure you get extra oil. Depending on your job, it will go through oil pretty quick.

Good Chainsaw

I needed a part for my old 16 inch corded chainsaw, but it was discontinued. It was time for a new one. I went with this Oregon 18 inch. It runs a couple of amps higher than my old one. I was cutting through a couple of hefty, dense rounds and tripped the house fuse a couple of times. I found it best not to overwork this chainsaw to avoid that, but not a big issue. It’s a powerful saw. I like the idea of the built in sharpening stone. It works great, but it’s recommended you change the stone eve...

fantastic 18 inch electric chain saw.

i have a preference for gasoline chainsaws, but i was totally pleased with this 18 inch electric chainsaw. power is great, price is great, self sharpening feature is nice and not available on other saws, safety features are great, chain adjustment feature is excellent and easy to to do, longer warranty is great to have. also comes with a great owners manual, i have never seen one as instructive as this one. i highly recommend this saw and would definitely buy it again. cuts thick branches and t...
