EGO POWER+ Chain Saw, 16” Battery Powered Chainsaw, Electric Cordless, Includes 56V 2.5Ah Battery and Charger – CS1611

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Powerful Performance in a Cordless Package! I recently purchased the EGO Power+ CS1604 16-Inch 56-Volt Cordless Chainsaw, and I can confidently say this tool deserves every bit of the hype. EGO has done an impressive job of delivering a battery-powered chainsaw that performs like a gas chainsaw without the hassle, fumes, and noise! What Stands Out 1. Power and Precision The 56-volt battery packs a punch! I was pleasantly surprised at how easily this chainsaw handled medium-sized trees and thicker branches. The 16-inch bar is the ideal size for both larger tree limbs and smaller yard cleanup. Whether you're trimming trees, cutting logs, or dealing with post-storm debris, this saw has the muscle to get through it without the fuss of fuel and oil. 2. Impressive Battery Life and Charging The included 5.0Ah battery is robust and provides about 60 minutes of runtime under regular use, which is enough to complete most yard projects. EGO's fast charger is excellent, getting the battery back to full charge within 40 minutes, which minimizes downtime. This is perfect if you’re tackling a larger project that might require multiple charging cycles. Plus, the battery is compatible with other EGO tools, which is a big plus if you’re already in their ecosystem. 3. User-Friendly and Well-Balanced The design is lightweight yet durable, and the ergonomics make it comfortable to handle even during extended use. At around 12 pounds, it’s heavy enough to feel substantial but light enough to prevent arm fatigue. EGO’s attention to balance helps keep the saw steady, which makes it easier to get straight, accurate cuts. The tool-free tension adjustment is also a convenient feature, allowing for quick and easy chain adjustments while on the job. 4. Quiet Operation Wow! Compared to a traditional gas chainsaw, this EGO model is exceptionally quiet. It’s still powerful, but you can use it early in the morning or late in the day without annoying your neighbors—or risking hearing damage from the excessive noise gas models can produce. It’s also easier to start; no pulling cords or priming required—just push a button, and you're ready to go. A Few Drawbacks to Note Initial Cost: While the price may seem a bit high compared to some gas models, I find the ease of use, the lack of maintenance, and the overall performance justify the investment. Battery Runtime for Larger Jobs: If you have extensive cutting to do, you may need a second battery, which I had, and ending up needing for the job I had. The included 5.0Ah battery works well for most standard tasks, but larger, continuous jobs will drain it faster. Final Verdict The EGO Power+ CS1604 is a game-changer for homeowners who need a powerful yet quiet and eco-friendly chainsaw. It’s efficient, easy to use, and incredibly convenient for both beginners and seasoned users alike. With its cordless freedom, reliable power, and fast recharge time, this chainsaw is a solid addition to any home tool arsenal. Highly recommend for those looking to skip the gas chainsaw hassle but still get the same performance! Would I buy it again? Absolutely. It’s a top-notch tool that makes yard work feel less like work.

I've been among the first people I know to have trusted battery-powered yard tools to have enough runtime and power to be worth buying, against the skepticism of others. But I've also been let down over time by a hedge trimmer, and a few *indoor* tools, that used an earlier battery technology. Since lithium batteries became common I've built up a collection of yard tools including a new hedge trimmer, leaf blower, string trimmer, and chainsaw. I chose EGO for the first of them, based on several professional reviews. When I was in the market for the second I *wanted* an EGO so I could share the battery between them, since they can all use the same one. But I did my research with an open mind, willing to have two different brands if that's what it took to have the best tool for each job. My research again brought me to EGO. Ditto for the third, even with brand-agnostic shopping yet again. By the time I decided to try a battery-powered chainsaw, I was really *hoping* the EGO looked good in reviews -- and it did. I've used but never owned a gasoline-powered chainsaw, and previously owned a plug-in electric unit from a different maker. On that unit, the chain kept coming off! That frustrated and baffled me because I was being ultra-careful to follow the instructions, to keep checking the tightness, make sure it was getting enough oil... everything. The bar seemed straight to my eye, and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out the cause. But I had to still wonder if I was doing something wrong because it was the first chainsaw I'd ever used extensively. One feature, therefore, that attracted me to the EGO was the tool-free, in-the-field chain tightening system. Genius! Why hadn't this been done before? I took a chance and bought it, and was relieved and delighted that I've never once had that previous chain issue, in something like a dozen hours of use. So I guess it wasn't me; there was something wrong with that unit from another brand. But NOT dropping the chain is a low bar, no pun intended, so about its other pros: --It has *plenty* of power. I've used it on three separate occasions to cut two complete trees into logs, with an estimated total of 30 feet from the trunks alone (not counting branches), and maximum diameters of maybe 14 inches. With only light force from me, the saw easily cut through that diameter in maybe 30 seconds -- it's been months, so I can't be sure. It felt quick & easy. For comparison, I had the misfortune of using a friend's plug-in electric chainsaw -- with a much lower chain speed and probably much less power -- and it took at least that long to cut a tree branch that was more like *4* inches in diameter. A remarkable difference, especially given the convenience & portability of a battery unit! --The tool-free chain tightening has worked very well, though I will say it's become a little harder on the hand over time than it was at first. I'd like to see a grip that's a bit more ergonomic. For me, it's just not quite enough to grab onto, ideally speaking. But just being able to do it at all is a joy. --The battery, being larger-capacity than the one used by the other three EGO tools I have, lasted more than long enough for the first job, and *almost* long enough for the second (much bigger) job. Given that I was pooping out around the same time the battery was, I was not dissatisfied at all. I could have easily swapped in a fully-charged battery of the lower capacity from one of the other tools to finish the job. Or, because the battery charges quickly, I could have taken a coffee break and then finished the job with the same battery. I could only guess how many minutes of *runtime* I got in those four or five hours of work, so I won't try, but it was plenty for my needs. This kind of inconvenience is, to me, FAR better than dealing with all the downsides of gas. No comparison. But for someone who needs, say, three hours or more of actual *runtime* they'd want a 2nd battery charging while they work -- or to use gasoline. As I see it, the limitation these batteries have is only in runtime, compared to gasoline, it's NOT in power! And even for runtime they've reached a level where I'll never need gasoline tools again for my 0.8 acre yard. --It's easy to add chain oil. Sharpening is still a question, because I've *never* done that before (given that my previous saw kept dropping the chain and therefore wasn't used enough). I've also never *replaced* a chain, so I can't comment on that. --As for balance, it's definitely bar-heavy without the battery (which is in back), and feels just right with the battery attached. A good design. I wouldn't call the combo lightweight, but I'd also hesitate to call it heavy because (a) I'm not the most muscular guy around and (b) it's been so long since I've used a gasoline-powered unit that I can't fairly compare them. I really have no complaints about the weight, even after a few hours of intermittent use. Overall, I'm *very* pleased both in comparison to my previous electric chainsaw and any gasoline chainsaw, for my needs. I no longer fear getting frustrated and irritated when I see another fallen branch or tree in my yard. I'm finally confident my tool can handle the job, and conveniently. In fact, it's been kinda fun to use!

Scie a chaine performante. Durée de la batterie: en vitesse rapide elle décharge assez rapidement. Idealement, il faudrait qu’ils vendent des kits avec 2 batteries Autre inconvénient: son poid

This thing is a powerful little tool. I live in Canada and we get snow every second day. This is very powerful and great for the balcony where the Adirondack chairs are. No need to move them around anymore to get the snow out. Also great for going around nooks and uneven stones that line the driveway. Battery life is excellent!

Je n'ai pas encore coupé du bois, mais je l'ai tout de même essayé, l'appareil me semble bien. Je ferais un commentaire après l'avoir utilisé toute une journée.

My god best thing in the world want to sleep with her

Works great, and the battery lasts a long time.
