I've grown to depend on this little saw and use it as much as my gas saw. It's important to use a (silver) One+ battery - else you'll have complaints like the other reviewers - but with the more powerful battery the saw has a surprisingly long run.
My 11 year old son works with me clearing our property and I'm contemplating buy a second one of these saws.
It's light, it's quiet, it's safe.

WOLF-Garten Tree Lopper 7201004 Review

WOLF-Garten Tree Lopper 7201004
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
1) The lopper cuts clean and effortlessly
2) The plastic pull handle supplied digs too deeply into the pull cord and is a chore to disengage although the manufacturer describes it as a "quick release" handle, I got so fed up with it that I switched over to the wooden handle from my Sears Craftsman pole pruner to the Wolf-Garten and ditched the Wolf-Garten handle.
3) One of the plated pivot bolts on the lopper started corroding badly within only a few months. I have been in constant contact with Wolf-Garten USA in trying to obtain a replacement and after several months am still awaiting the replacement bolt. They are quite frankly not very responsive and parts are as scarce as hens teeth.

Greenworks 20602 20-Volt Lithium Ion 10-Inch Cordless Electric Chain Saw (No Battery or Charger) Review

Greenworks 20602 20-Volt Lithium Ion 10-Inch Cordless Electric Chain Saw (No Battery or Charger)

(More customer reviews)
This is my first chainsaw. I have a friend who is happy to come over with his gas-powered monster for the heavy duty stuff. I wanted a light-duty saw so I don't need to call on my friend for the little stuff. The Greenworks model is perfect for me. I can take care of reasonably thick branches and use it on logs that just don't want to split. It's not exactly like a hot knife through butter, but it gets the job done. I was a little worried about oiling the chain, and making a big mess, but the built-in reservoir does a good job and hardly leaks at all.
I wanted to go lithium-ion because it's the best battery technology today--if it's good enough for a Tesla roadster, it's good enough for my chainsaw! But Amazon didn't have the charger, nor could I find it anywhere else. Long story short, I called the Greenworks service dpt and they were able to send me one right away. So I got my charger, my battery, and my saw, and I've been using it all summer. It's a good product. The battery has enough juice to assist my log splitting for about 45 minutes.. Overall it's a bit pricier than the NiCad battery products, but of course the battery works in my Greenworks leaf blower too, so its not bad amortized over multiple tools. I expect it to last longer than NiCads, too.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Absolutely the most powerful electric 16 inch saw I have ever used. My McCulloch was great and my Remington was ok, but this item is FANTATISC! Excellent power (4.5 hp) to clear the back 40 and light enough to take up in a tree. Very quiet operation. The customer service was also outstanding from the manufacturer. This item is so new that they have not had a lot of feedback yet. The only thing I found as a slight negative was that nowhere in the user's manual or anywhere else do they tell you how many links to order for a replacement chain. They are correcting that with the new printing of the user's manual. When I do replace the chain, my local Oregon dealer will have the appropriate size. Once done, I will just mark the manual accordingly. The way this thing cuts it might be a while before I need a new chain though! This is a great product at a reasonable price!

Factory-Reconditioned Homelite ZR43100 9.0 Amp 14-in Electric Chain Saw Review

Factory-Reconditioned Homelite ZR43100 9.0 Amp 14-in Electric Chain Saw
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For the money, either reconditioned or new, this is a great little chain saw.
I've used a ton of expensive (Husky or Stihl) chain saws. The Homelite is clearly no match. However, if you need help with small jobs around the house, its silly to spend more than this costs.
Pros:
For the money, well designed and simple to use.
Saws amazingly well. You have to take it slow and let the saw do the cutting. But it will make its way through 4" limbs quite well.
For first time users, the user manual is a good primer on chain saw safety.
Its a well executed design. For once its nice to find an opening price point product that does not scream of some purchasing agent going to a bazar in the Far East and ordering a boatload of junk with his company's name stuck on it.
Cons:
You need at least a quart of bar oil. It uses more oil than it needs to. No big deal, just don't saw over the dining room table and keep an eye on the reservoir.
If you muscle it through a limb, the chain has the potential of popping out. Did it once when I first got it. Just take it easy and let the saw do the cutting.

High Limb CS-24 Rope-and-Chain Saw with 24-inch Chain Review

High Limb CS-24 Rope-and-Chain Saw with 24-inch Chain
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had some dead trees in my yard that threatened to fall over and hit my house every time it got a little windy. Having never used a gas or electric chain saw I was a little hesitant to rent one and cut down the trees. I used this saw to cut down the limbs atop the trees so that if they were to fall they wouldn't come near my house.
The saw was easy to use and made short work of the smaller limbs. The larger limbs took a little more elbow grease but the saw eventually got the job done.
Although I've had no problems with the saw I can see that where the rope meets the chain is fraying just a bit. I suspect that it's due in part to me going a little beyond the limb circumference the saw is deigned for. Replacing the rope seems like it would be relatively easy and inexpensive.

High Limb CS-48 Rope-and-Chain Saw Review

High Limb CS-48 Rope-and-Chain Saw
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently purchased this and used it to cut two branches that were about 25 feet high. The first was no problem and I was shocked how easy it was. While cutting the second branch, the chain got jammed in the branch when it was almost cut all the way through. It took me an hour to get it free but I learned the tricks to free it quicker in the future. The instructions say to stand way out to the side so that the branch does not fall on your head, but the problem when you do that is when the branch starts to sag after it is cut about 2/3 of the way through, it pinches down on the part of the chainsaw that is on the bottom half of the branch so you end up with the chain stuck in place with a half cut branch. I learned that it was more effective to cut from under the branch and get out of the way when it falls. Another review said that he used two people and that would probably be the best way to reduce your chances of the chain getting stuck and also to not get hit on the head. The tool has a "flipping" part that causes the chain to flip over to the sharp side going down and this works pretty well after a few tries. I think that this tool works better on thick branches (more than 4 inch diameter). This is because on the larger diameter branches, the chain is not bent at too severe an angle. When you are almost done cutting through the branch, the chain will be bending in a tighter area that I think that caused me trouble on a thinner branch. For larger branches, the branch will snap before you get into such a tight area. Overall, it's not the greatest tool, but pretty cool to deal with those special cases where the pole saw won't reach. You should be aware that the cut will not be very clean at the bottom of the branch in many cases because you are cutting from the top and sides, not the bottom. In any case, I still recommend it since it costs a whole lot less than having a tree guy come to cut one or two unreachable branchs. But only expect to use it sparingly.

Earthwise CCS30008 18-Volt 8-Inch Cordless Chain Saw Review

Earthwise CCS30008 18-Volt 8-Inch Cordless Chain Saw
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a terrific tool. I tried two Black and Decker cordless 8" chainsaws and sent both back because they leaked oil all over the chassis and battery. But I did use the first one for an hour and can compare these two brands.
First the cons: The Earthwise is less powerful and lighter, so you have to use more of your own weight to operate it, and it takes a little longer to cut through larger wood (say 6"). Because of the power issue, it's less likely to give you a clean cut without applying some pressure to the cutting edge.
The B&D manual is more informative; Earthwise needs to work on that. If you've never used a chainsaw, you will need some instruction other than the Earthwise manual. These are minor flaws for me, ones I can live with.
We own 5 acres, and are trying to clean up a couple that are full of small, thorny scrub trees and bushes. I'm small, female, and 63 so the larger gasoline saws are no longer usable by me. But most of the wood that needs cutting is in the 3-4" range and this little saw handles it very well. It's light enough for me to be able to cut at all angles. Safety requires that you use two hands always on a chainsaw but in my view, you'd better be ABLE to manage with one hand just in case you get caught on something. This one's light enough that I feel safe using it, a huge issue for me. I will repeat one line from the Earthwise manual because it's so important: Familiarity with a tool should not lull you into a sense of security (I paraphrased there). Even with a saw this small, safety needs to be first on your mind.
Black and Decker vs, Earthwise:
Battery life is longer: The B&D ran out of juice after an hour; the Earthwise was still going strong at 1 1/2 hours.
B&D is manual oil -- push a button to oil the chain before every cut. The oil reservoir was depleted in that time span. The Earthwise is automatic and oil use is much less.
The power switch can be released after the trigger is pulled on the Earthwise. I'm not positive but I THINK you have to hold that button to keep the B&D saw running. I prefer the security of one finger on the trigger while the others hold the handle. However, the B&D chain stops on trigger release; the Earthwise coasts.
B&D comes unassembled; Earthwise is ready to go; just add oil.
Earthwise is a little cheaper; nothing wrong with that.
I can't report on reliability or service life but I love this little guy and highly recommend it to anyone who's cutting jobs are small. Though the manual says you can cut up to 8", that's really pushing it. But for trimming up trees, taking out saplings, or dealing with deadwood, this is perfect. The only reason it got four stars instead of five is due to it's tendency to shred the cut unless you apply some effort -- again, not a big issue for me, but sloppy cuts aren't what you want in landscaping.

This item, Black & Decker NLP1800 Alligator Lopper 18-Volt Cordless Chain Saw, has lots of potential. It cuts the branches well, even fairly thick ones.
The problems: 1) Battey life...easy fix, get a spare battery... 2) requires frequet oiling 3) This is the worst problem I see, but possible a deal break: the top chain guard can very easily get postioned were it rubs the chain, creating wear and eating a whole in the guard..
Overall: I would say worth $75-99, but would not give over $100 for it again untill the above bugs are corrected.

I have had to replace my chain once so far and found it impossible to find them locally. Some online prices and availability are OK but the shipping really dings you. I found one online hardware site that had reasonable shipping plus a decent discount so I bought two replacements there. My original chain's life was shortened somewhat by letting someone else borrow the Alligator (they got some dirt in the chain by cutting too close to the ground) as well as my cutting of some trees that were in excess of 6" in diameter. I have no real complaints about the quality just the price and availability. I still think the Alligator is a fantastic tool.

This is a nice small branch trimmer. Its downfall is the chain oil is gravity feed onto the chain and leaks consistently. Wherever you store the chainsaw will get oil underneath.

I have a small gas-powered chain saw and also a gas-powered pole saw. The chain saw is heavy to hold up and I didn't need to use the pole saw for most of my pruning. Based on the reviews, I decided to give this product a try. This tool works really great! It's not super heavy and you don't have to mess with gas since it's electric powered. I've been using mine to trim oleanders with some branches 4" thick with no problems. Even with ratchet loppers, it's not always possible to cut the thicker branches and the Alligator Lopper solves this problem. You do have to put oil into a small covered hole but you have to oil and chain saw device. The jaws shield the cutters while closed so it's pretty safe to use.

Black & Decker's Power Saws -- Driven by Quality Black & Decker offers both cordless and electric chain saws, including the Alligator Lopper electric chain saw and 18-volt cordless chain saws. Chain saws feature powerful motors for fast cutting and a sturdy, lightweight design that makes them exceptionally easy to use.
The Alligator Lopper Makes Cutting a Breeze Take a big bite out of fallen trees, tree limbs and brush with the Alligator Lopper -- a revolutionary cutting tool that provides chainsaw-like cutting performance in an un-intimidating tool. With its scissor-like action, the Alligator Lopper’s rugged metal jaws clamp onto logs, thick branches, tree limbs, and vines -- and then saw right through them. Once limbs and branches are on the ground, the Alligator Lopper is perfect for chopping them up into manageable pieces to throw away or chuck into your fireplace.
This amazing saw boasts a rugged 4.5 amp motor for fast, powerful chomping through wood -- plus a heavy-duty cutting bar and chain to really chew through dense branches and logs. This model also features auto chain tensioning to keep the tool in top cutting form. Just loosen the bar retainer bolts with the included wrench and the bar automatically takes out the slack and adjusts the chain’s tension perfectly.
The Alligator Lopper’s jaws offer the ultimate in controlled cutting. The rugged metal guards that cover the jaws protect you from the cutting chain, and they immediately snap back over the blades once the cut is complete. The Alligator Lopper’s jaws also mean that there's no skipping around at the start of a cut. Unlike traditional chainsaws, the lopper cuts side-to-side instead of from top to bottom. This sideways cutting action prevents the cutting chain from burying itself in the dirt as the chain completes its cut.
The Alligator Lopper also makes it much faster and easier to cut logs, because you'll never need to prop them up on saw horses or on other any other brace. Just grab the logs in the Alligator Lopper’s jaws and cut right through them.
Key Technical Specs: Power: 4.5 amps Bar length: 6 inches Jaw capacity: 4 inches
Applications The Alligator Lopper is ideal for tree pruning, clearing brush, storm clean-up, cutting firewood and more, and it’s a great alternative to chainsaws, manual loppers, handsaws and clippers.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this for some light trimming around the house and because the chainsaw could be used independent of the pole. Attaching the saw to the pole isn't as easy as it could be but once you figure it out it's a one-person, 5 minute job with a screwdriver. Keeping the chain tight and oiled at normal parts of chainsaw use and the instructions laid out in the manual. The manual isn't the best, but if you read it enough times and concentrate on the tiny pictures it makes sense...
I was impressed with the cutting ability of this little thing. It cut through everything I threw at it, up to 8" limbs.
There are a couple of down sides though. It's heavy and unweildly, especially with the boom extended. I ended up bracing it against my hip to stabilize it while getting it into position. The real annoyance is the design of the pole. Even when the locking mechanism is tightened, the saw portion of the pole rotates independently from the handle portion. This means that any maneuvering that's not in line with where the saw wants to go is really tricky. After a couple of cuts the handle would be at a 90 degree angle to the blade. Really annoying!
Over all I'm happy with it. I'm glad I got this multi purpose saw instead of a pole saw that can only ever be a pole saw... With this one you have some flexibility, which is nice. I just wish the handle would stay where you put it!

Using this on my 18volt cordless chain saw, it's a low kick back saw, and cordless chain saw are low rpm to begin with, so I guess that " MADE IN CHINA" part doesn't bother me, keep it well lube, before during and after each use, put ptfe dri-film on it befor putting on new sets, for around the house maintance, not a professional saw for sure. And remember to clean it up, it do get stuck easily when batteries are low.
