If you use a chainsaw 15 hours a week, get a good gas unit, a half dozen chains and a sharpener, one of them handy combination tools, and a pile of spark plugs etc. and probably another chainsaw so you can keep going. But if you need a chainsaw a half dozen times a year for 20 minutes, you'll be much happier with this. It always starts immediately, even left for months. The chain stays sharp much longer and it doesn't eat chains and bars. And though I love the smell of two stroke smoke, my wife does not. My arthritis (probably from using chainsaws) doesn't flare and the noise doesn't annoy folks for miles. This is a city chainsaw, A big improvement over a swede saw and you can clean up a tree mess in about the same time, sometimes less. And save a trip for supplies. The electric has it's place and can even go way above and beyond if needed. I can unclog and put a kit in one of those little Walbro cabs in 20 minutes with frozen fingers, but I won't miss that.

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! HAVE USED IT FOUR TIMES - PROBABLY 15-20 HOURS - WORKS FANTASTIC!! BUY THIS ONE!

This thing is tough! Wasn't sure how much power it would have, but it's cutting through 4 and 5" thick trees and branches with ease with the factory blade on it. Have used it four times now, clearing away a lot of trash trees from the back of our property, and it's performed great with no problems at all. For what it's worth, take the plastic cover off the right side or you'll constantly be pulling vines and things out of it and stopping every three minutes to clear it. Short of that, it's done fantastic and I HIGHLY recommend this thing! Bang-for-buck it's a serious tree and limb butcher!

Absolutely amazing value and performance!

What an awesome buy. I'm trying to move towards more electric and rechargeable power tools and this electric chainsaw has been the best transition to date from a gas engine. Saw cut through very large branches with ease; no kickback or stalls. Went through all of the wood that was seasoned for at least 10 years in attached picture with ease. Absolutely amazing value and performance! So nice to not have to worry about starting issues and mixing fuel. Perfect for homeowner with occasional need for a small chainsaw.

Felled 4" maple trunks with no problems

I got this to fell a 15' maple tree that was growing next to my new house's foundation. There were about four 4 inch "trunks" growing out of a 10 inch stump. This little chainsaw made short work of everything. Money well spent. I'd never used a chainsaw before, so the most trouble of the whole experience was making sure I was following all the instructions and safety procedures. Second most trouble was cleaning the darn thing, since you have to disassemble and reassemble it (and learn how to do so). Hearing protection is advised, although it is not nearly as loud as you would expect. I love electric tools. You just plug in, push a button, and go. Great for stop-and-go work. I read that Canola oil works just as well as "chainsaw oil," so I gave that a try. Granted I only used this saw once, but I had no issues.

Excellent for a novice!

I've never used a chainsaw in my life, and was a little intimidated by this purchase. However, this saw wasn't the beast I expected, and very easy to use. It made light work of a pretty significant limb that was growing toward my house. This was well worth the money and time saving! I highly recommend!

Lightweight but touch

I am a petite woman - five feet tall and I can't manage a heavy saw. This one has allowed me to feel self-empowered and I've used it to cut down a lot of limbs and branches in my yard. I love this tool!

The Chain Does Not Fall Off...

First off for all of those people that gave negative reviews due to chain problems: The chain will not come off the bar spontaneously, it will not come loose every few seconds, it does not require tightening every minute or so. However, if the bar and chain is NOT assembled correctly it will do ALL of those things. There is this magical pin that is attached to the chain tensioner screw that MUST be in the small round hole in the guide bar. If that pin is NOT in the proper hole the bar will NOT lay flat against the saw body and the nuts will NOT tighten it down properly, no matter how hard one pulls on the wrench and strips the threads or nuts. The chain tensioning screw will not hold the chain in tension if the tensioner pin is not in the hole in the bar. I believe there is a section in the instructions that is called 'Installing the Guide Bar and Saw Chain' shown on page 23 and particularly Fig. 29 that should be of interest here. Now I know it is not 'macho' for some to read instructions, but it comes to mind; "that if all else fails, try reading the instructions" and by the way that means 'following them' is also required, -it may just help a bunch. Of course the part on page 23 about just -slightly- loosening the bar retaining nuts and not removing them, or turning them many times so the bar pops off of the chain tensioner pin may have been the first failure point. Instructions always seem to leave out little hints about what to look for when working on unfamiliar equipment. The thing is to get the bar and chain assembled properly and the chain will NOT come off. The chain may loosen slightly during use but that is what the chain tensioner adjustment is for. The chain is also pretty sharp when the saw is new so handle with care. It will dull very quickly if it hits rocks, concrete, metal, or dirt. That is something that can happen easily especially when cutting out stumps. Stuff on the ground seems to become incorporated into a tree when it grows. Children and critters also put stuff in trees. Experience shows that the replacement chains always last longer ;) Buy a spare. I think this saw takes an Oregon S50 chain, 3/8" pitch, low profile, anti-kickback, 0.050" gauge and 50 links. It does seem to me that a product that is assembled and ready to run should come with a small vial of bar and chain oil. That seems reasonable to me even if gas saws don't come with gas and electric saws don't come with extension cords. However, speaking of oil, the instructions do mention leaks during storage. -Yes, they will leak, some saws more than others. In this model the oil is forced out of the reservoir by pushing on the rubber bulb causing an air pressure change inside the reservoir. Daily air pressure changes and temperature changes during storage also push on that little rubber bulb, -and on the reservoir. I think that loosening the cap on the reservoir may help prevent the oil from being squeezed out during storage. I don't see that mentioned in the instructions, but maybe I missed that part. It may be worth a try. I don't know, my former saw had a pump that ran off the chain sprocket. Another thing that happens is after a few years the little plastic oil tubes split and oil runs everywhere. Replacement tubing can be found at the auto parts store in the small engine section. Bar and chain oil can also be found there for 10/gallon. This saw draws 8 amps so it will not cut overly fast but it does OK. More amps would be OK but that also means heavier and/or shorter extension cords and overloading outlets and plugs rated for 15 amps max. I feel 8-10 amps is a good compromise in a weekender saw application. Relax, listen to the tool, don't bog it down, let it cool off between cuts or periodically during cuts, and it should last a long time. Above all be careful, read the safety tips. Keep a good grip on the saw with both hands. Move it slowly and keep your balance. Pull the branches away from your work area to avoid falls. Branches and trees can move suddenly while you are cutting and they are very unforgiving. Don't end your day in the ER.

Nice little chainsaw!

Bought this to replace a WEN for which I could no longer purchase replacement parts. Nice little chainsaw. All assembled right out of the box. Put in some oil, connect it up and away you go....and it is a lot lighter and easier to handle than the old WEN. Too bad I can't get electric down in the woods as it is a lot quieter than my gas saw... :-) Only down point is that the chain oil leaked out on my garage floor which I didn't expect. I didn't put it down on a piece of cardboard which I should have. I'd recommend it for around the house use. I've been using it to cut up smaller limbs for my Central Boiler. 2/1/13 Been using it for a year now. Still a great 'lopping' saw and it will even take care of larger diameter logs...when we stock up for the boiler, my son uses the big boy and I use this for smaller stuff. As far as the oil leaking I mentioned before, if you lay it down on the right side (the chain side down) the oil doesn't leak from the reservoir.

Remington RM1425 Limb N Trim

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THIS LITTLE CHAINSAW... This bugger will do it.. we had a tough guy tree "expert" vanish and leave us high and dry and he and his fine crew left an enormous partially cut up Sweetgum tree down in our backyard. The remaining stump was 20ft length and about 26 diameter at the base... this saw got it all cut up in no time flat... I had to go from both sides the further down i went to the base... but it was not a tough thing and was actually rather fun to use the saw... one of the best buys I have ever made on Amazon. The saw is really pretty light and about as loud as a jigsaw... I truly like this saw. Never owned or operated a chainsaw... this took the mystery out of it... I will tackle any limb or tree now. The only problem is.. now my neighbors know I have a chainsaw thats better than the gas one that see I them yanking on for 20 minutes while they wipe sweat and cuss....

It's now my go-to chainsaw.

I originally purchased this saw to do some pruning and that's what my original review was based upon. I'm updating that review now after using it for nearly 18-months. As a general purpose chainsaw it has a few issues but they seem much more minor now than when I first used it in 2012. The two most notable issues are that the chain pops off easily and the oil system leaks. The more I used it the better I got at not doing the things that bind the chain and cause it to pop off... you can't angle the bar at all once you start cutting but my gas saw is much more forgiving on that point. I have a 20" gas McCulloch chainsaw from the 80's that I was using most of the time but it's heavy and I don't like to use it sideways and/or near the ground because it's a beast to handle and if the chain hits the dirt I have to stop to sharpen it. I had some large stumps I wanted to cut even with the ground so I wanted something lightweight to do it and that's the only reason I purchased this and it did what I wanted it to... even on stumps over 12" in diameter by walking it around the stump. I was prepared to put up with some of the criticisms other reviews have mentioned and it's because of those that I didn't recommend this as a go-to saw for all cutting. However, I reach for this saw first now whenever I have to cut within 100" of my outside outlets... there's a drop in torque which is expected but it still performs adequately. I would recommend this saw as a general purpose tool and I use it for cutting all my rounds because it's lightweight, I can use it one-handed and it's quick to sharpen the blade... though it's hard to keep the cord plugged in tightly all the time. I feel a bit safer with my gas saw because it's built well, the weight of the saw makes horizontal cutting easy and the chain has never popped off... but gas, difficulty in starting and the weight of it are issues... but once you get about 100' from an outlet that's about all I can use. If you run this saw on more than 100' of cord it will likely not last too long and I use a 50' cord whenever possible by dragging the trees closer to the outlet. I use this saw whenever possible... and definitely for low horizontal cutting and whenever I'm on a ladder... because it's so lightweight. It's also very easy to use when trimming off the branches after a tree is down because you have a hand free to maneuver around. I paid about 42 bucks for it and it was a good deal... I cut about 2-cords of wood before I had to sharpen the blade and the blade on mine was a decent one from Oregon. I was using a reciprocating saw but this cuts much faster than I thought it would so I use it all the time now. I think the best feature is that it's always ready to go... no issues with gas mixing, gas pouring, spark plugs, clogged carburetor, dirty air filter, starting issues, pull chains or weight issues. The standard rounds I cut are 6-10" and there's no way this saw bogs down doing it... and the oil is standard 30-weight automotive so that's also easy to handle. Some love it and some don't but I cut a lot of wood for my two wood stoves and I don't have a serious negative about this saw.
