Imagine my utter delight when, on first use, the saw just chewed through stumps that I had standing in my yard. Lots of reserve power, long lasting runtime, very fast cutting and relative quiet and all controls are easily accessible and easy to make adjustments to the saw.

I have had this 14" saw since August 2015 and it has worked without a flaw. I have done a lot of cutting with this saw and no job is really to big for it, I do recommend buying a spare battery,

I bought this chain saw after trying others that were frankly little more than toys. The EGO actually works like a power saw but is lighter and cleaner. I bought the standard battery and charger and find the battery last about 45 mins to an hour of quite heavy use and an 8 inch diameter log is no problem for it.
