SUPER IMPRESSIVE - It got here 2 days early. The setup was straightforward without problems. I assembled it and charged the battery same day (I had to run out and buy chain oil - required). It cut through downed trees easily and, relative to gas powered it was quiet as could be.

I HAVE NOT USED THE CHAINSAW YET AND WILL NOT BE USING IT ANYTIME SOON. I PURCHASED IT SO HAVE IT, WHEN I NEED IT. I'M CONFIDENT THAT IT WILL MEET MY EXPECTATIONS.

I have to say, that electric chain cuts like a hot knife through butter, I sorry but I was surprised how easy it was to use, I got finished cutting really fast and I didn't rush, I'm not getting paid for saying this, I'm just being honest .

Always test the blade oiling function on a piece of cardboard before using. If it is stored in a cold environment it may not lubricant the chain and damage the chain. Best chainsaw I've ever used. Battery lasts along time. Cool battery down before charging.

This chainsaw is replacing a 2018 husqvarna battery powered chainsaw for cutting up small pine trees and limbs on my property. A new battery for the old one costs 250.00 so this one was was a better value right off the rip. I was concerned initially because the directions for building it out of the box were light on info and I wasn't able to find any build videos on the internet. However, after some tinkering, its almost the exact same configuration as my old Husqvarna. The only remaing challenge was detangling the chain, and that only took me about 5 minutes of playing with it to get it installed correctly. For new chainsaw owners, make sure to purchase some bar and chain oil as it does not come with a small starter bottle so you will need that to ensure proper functionality. It took about 40 minutes to fully charge the battery initially and it was surprisingly as quiet as my Husqvarna. It burned through several of the larger trunks like they weren't even a worry. I then moved on to branches and limbs and once again had no issue, even on eco mode. I haven't tried it on fresh pine trees yet (excess sap could be an issue) but I will be trying that later this week and I expect it to perform very similarly. The only draw back was the overall run time I expected (1hr off and on). With a newer battery and newer battery technology, I was hopping for more overall run time than I got. Having said that, this chainsaw is vastly more powerfull than my older one, so I'd rarher have the power with decent battery life than better life and it lacking power to get through bigger trees. I was very pleased with this purchase and will give them another try when I replace my pole saw and string trimmer. Plus, having more batteries around will do wonders for my productivity. Really recommended for smaller/mid-sized trees and all branches. great option for those who need something for storm prep and recovery in neighborhoods, where full on gas powered chainsaws are overkill. Outside of replacing and/or sharpening the chain and having Chain oil around, theres almost no maintenance so thats also a benefit.

My only knock is that the chain is one size fits one. You've gotta use the specific Oregon nano chain it ships with. Battery life, cutting up a 24" 10' overturned tree, pretty darn good.

Saw is powerful and cuts very well. I would give that 5 stars. The 3 star rate comes from the weight. The specification sheet on the web page gave the weight as 7.7 lbs. but that does not include the battery. Attaching the battery effectively doubles that, making the saw quite heavy. It is a good saw, but the spec sheet is not accurate.

Battery broke within eight months of extremely light usage. After one week of no response from Senix warranty dept., I'm posting this one-star review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to be able to carry a chainsaw anywhere and not be tied down to the corded ones that I previously owned. I followed the instructions to put it together. Charged the battery overnight. Added everything that was requested. And when i finally wanted to use it, the exclamation mark kept on showing up. I did notice that the battery slot is flimsy at best and i tried to push the battery in farther until it couldn't go any farther but still nothing. I tried everything but nothing seemed to work. Very disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would have rated this chansaw very highly. When I initially used it it cut very well. I mean I was really surprised. Sliced through logs like butter. However, after about an hours usage the chain began to slip off, and finally to the point that the saw was completely unusable. There is a small hole that I believe fits into a pin when the cover is seated correctly. That hole and pin would not line up, thus the blade and chain were not straight and the chain would kick off. i tried numerous time, but to no avail to realign the two together, but to no avail. I could not move the pin namually although it runs along a slot. It may be part of the chain break mechanism. Either way, the cover no longer lined up. I need to return.
