EGO Power+ CS1613 16-Inch 56-Volt Lithium-ion Cordless Chainsaw with 4.0Ah Battery and Charger Included Chain Saw, Black

Great chain saw! Cuts very nicely! Plenty of power. My first time with a battery powered chain saw and I find it much more convenient. The battery can be a little heavy but not too heavy. Just a well-built device.

My EGO 16 inch model CS1613 is wonderful. I have a Stihl 16 inch gasoline chainsaw and it works wonderfully too. The EGO electric I use for trees and limbs up to one foot diameter. The EGO is lighter and much easier to use and adjust without tools. It is powerful but NOT as powerful as my Stihl gasoline 16 inch chainsaw. The battery lasts much longer than I guessed. In addition the battery charges quickly as well. The one problem I noticed was working in and around vines. The vines strip the chain off the bar frequently, 4 times in 3 hours of use. The positive is that it is easy to remove the coverplate and bar and put the chain back on. I would definitely buy the EGO chainsaw again !

This saw is unbelievable, I should have bought it years ago. It is simple to start. Once again simple to start. I bought it out of frustration with a gas powered saw that is very cranky, it is a brand name saw. The Ego Power started easily and cut a 16 inch and 12 inch tree into manageable pieces. I also cut the 4 foot remainder of a tree that is ~2 feet in diameter. The saw cut the trees easily. The saw is very quiet and easy to use. Glad I finally made the purchase.

I really had severe doubts about ANY battery chainsaw. Up until now, I have only used gas, because they get the job done. I decided to try a battery saw, and I already have an EGO blower, so I waited for the chainsaw to go on sale and bought it. All I did was add the bar oil, and reluctantly approached a tree that was in need of coming down. The only word I can use to describe this saw is, unbelievable. This saw is a beaver. It has more power and cuts better than any gas saw I have ever used. After a few large cuts, I did have to tension the chain, which is a breeze. I cut two fairly large trees completely to the ground and bucked the limbs, and the battery was still showing 2 steps to go until empty. My neighbor came over to see the saw in action, and asked to use it. I gave it to him and he trimmed a few branches and the battery life still had not changed. I absolutely LOVE this saw. Not one complaint. The power is unreal and the oiler works great.

Great chainsaw with plenty of power - so much better than gas saws when doing yard work when you have to stop/start the saw numerous times - much easier than any gas saw where it can take a few pulls to start it - in short, a great saw but... the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that the 4.0 amp battery is heavy and makes the saw slightly unbalanced with excess weight on left side - if only doing minor yard work, think about the 2.4 amp battery as that should not affect the balance of the saw as much - the weight is not a problem - just the balance
