Review: Excellent value - I"ve had two gas operated chainsaws and two ION electrics. Of the four, this one is the best. My gas operated chain saw is now officially retired. Gas, gas storage, mixing gas, pulling starting handles to start, complexity of the gas engine...and now emerges the ION electric with comparable power. Why this chain saw?: Lightweight, excellent power for my jobs, safe bar, does not leak chain oil, uses Oregon bar and replacement chains, super instruction manual. I have about 1/2 acre of Palo Verde and Mesquite trees. If you know these desert dwellers, they grow every which direction and have hard wood. So I was skeptical at first. No longer. Sufficient power and battery life to do the job. I think I used 1/4 battery power to do about an hour's work cutting limbs 8" diameter and less. Now, please pay attention: These tools are dangerous! You need to READ THE MANUAL (excellent manual) and watch a few YouTube videos on chainsaw safety before using these puppies. PLEASE do so. I had one mishap in my chainsaw career that only resulted in some cactus thorns in my backside (ouch!) and sent me to those manuals and YouTubes -- profit by my experience. PLEASE. OK. Now I read other reviews before buying this Wen product. I agree that it does not leak chain oil. Another electric I had did, so I appreciate this. And it saves oil. Cool! Then someone said the stock chain has fewer links than a replacement Oregon product. I think so. I've attached a photo so you can see -- the Oregon is at the bottom. Uses S56 Oregon replacement chains. I bought a couple of them but haven't had the need to use them yet. But I like to be "at the ready." Old Army training. Next there was mention that the saw takes a second of so to activate after squeezing the trigger. True, but you adapt to that and not worth taking even 1/2 a star from the rating for that minor inconvenience. So, bottom-line, I highly recommend this electric battery chainsaw as an excellent value for the money. Spend more if you like, but this one is well made, works well, doesn't leak oil and has power to spare. Now one closing tip, my desertcart friends, on the power deal. Ohm's Law (I am an engineer by education, but only dabbled in electrical engineering): when you're evaluating chainsaws for power, do this: multiply the Volts of the battery times the Ah (Ampere-hours) of the battery. The result is the Watt-hours of power. The more the better. Don't be fooled by low Ah and high Volts. Just multiply the two and wha-la = POWER. Enjoy! Be safe!! READ THE MANUAL. BTW, I get nothing and want and would not take anything for these reviews -- I serve you independently, the community of desertcart reviewers and shoppers. READ THE MANUAL!!!!
Review: Awesome little chainsaw - I have been using this for the last three months. I am really impressed with it. I cut lots of firewood every year. I live on 5+ acres with lots of pine trees. I use my big gas saws for most of it, but this little saw is great for cutting small rounds and limbs. It is way Lighter than my 16” gas saw and nice and quiet. I like using this very much. I have two batteries. When one battery goes dead I put it in the charger and grab my other battery. The battery charges pretty fast. I like how the battery is not so bulky like the other battery chainsaws that I have used. The bar tensioner is really good as well and easy to use without tools. That is a big plus. Chain stays on the bar without falling off like most battery chainsaws that I have used. There is a hesitation when trigger is pressed. Takes a little bit to get used to, but I have started to like it. I think it’s a safety thing. Nice little saw.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this come with a case?**
A: No, it did not come with a case, but I'll tell you this, it is a great chainsaw.  I did order two new chains from Oregon Chains. The one it comes with only has about 19 cutting teeth. Oregon chains doesn't sell that one. It's only sold to suppliers as to make the chain saw cheaper, though it did okay. I made about 50-60 cuts before my new chains came in. The new chains have about 28 cutting teeth and do a terrific job. The original chain still has some life in it but I prefer using the new chains. 
 Love this chainsaw. I also bought an extra battery so I could cut for about 30-45 minutes and then switch to the other battery for another 30-45 minutes or so. Depends on how big and hard the wood is you're cutting. It does take about 90 minutes to recharge. But what a difference over using a gas chain saw and having to constantly restart it. With this saw, you just squeeze the trigger and when not cutting, it's off. I highly recommend it.

**Q: Does this come assembled? Would I be able to hold and use it with bad arms?**
A: You have to drape the chain around the 'blade' then lay it in place before turning a plastic dial to tighten it down. That's the only 'assembly' required, and it's extremely simple. Once that's in place, there's another plastic dial to turn to tighten the chain. You must also buy chain lube oil as it does NOT come with it. It's about $4 at any WalMart or Big-Box store like Home Depot. Obviously, you have to charge the battery first, too. 

As to your arms, I'd have to know how bad 'bad' is. I'd say most adults could easily use it although it could be difficult to hold it up at eye level (or higher) for 'weaker' people where 'weak' is another word that has such a broad meaning it's almost worthless unless you have something to compare it to. 

All I can say is this thing is a total workhorse. I've made HUNDREDS of cuts with it and never had a problem, even when cutting a tree with a 14" diameter at the trunk. I love it and am extremely happy with mine. A neighbor saw me using it, and he bought one, too. He's 76, has no problem using it, and loves it. So unless you can't hold up 12 pounds or so for any length of time, it _should_ be okay.

**Q: Will the charger work on 220v input?**
A: I just checked the charger unit and it is rated for 110 to 120 VAC.  My unit was shipped to an US address so I can't say what would be shipped to the UK or other places with similar electrical standards.

**Q: Is there a weed eater that uses the same battery?**
A: Do not buy their weed eater....oh,r you will find out why.....the mother board may got out after you use this 4 or 5 times....they have your money, you own junk, cost more to fix it than its worth..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a absolute must have !!!
*by E***N on December 5, 2020*

I currently own two Stihls and I love them. I put up 3-4 cords of firewood each year and have 12 acres of planted pines to maintain. I have run chainsaws for over 40 years and this is my first electric. I recieved it today and put it on the charger and would guess that it took around a hour and a half to charge. It is built good but not quite as rugged as my stihls. It has one large plastic and steel wingnut for lack of a better descrition to secure the bar and cover; I love the design! No tools required to remove the bar or chain. To tighten the chain there is a round external knob you turn with your thumb, this is a simple and quick adjustment. When your cutting you simply loosen the large wingnut and turn the chain adjustmnet knob, this litteraly takes a few seconds and your back cutting. Being that this is not a gas saw the chain does not get hot so that you can reach down and pull on the chain to check for tightness without burning your fingers. When i got it today I took it to the woods and started to clean up between my rows of pines. When i cut a tree I could put down the chain saw and pull the tree out of the way or due what I needed to without having to be worried about a running chainsaw. Once you release the trigger the chainsaw is off, this is much more efficent than a gas saw. Love not having to pull start over and over, I estimate the saw makes 1/3 of the noise of a gas saw and obviously no fumes to breath. The saw seem to weigh about the same as my gas saw and i believe that is due to the quality of the saw. I ran for around a hour and still had a half battery, for the most part the battery life will be more than sufficent, otherwise you can invest in a second battery. I think that i will try and limit my self to 12 inch and other for this and otherwise beakout the gas saw. WEN has done a great job and love that this is made in the 🇺🇸 . Im have seen another brand that is a 80 volt with a 18 bar and am hoping WEN will come out with a more powerful one that can retire my gas saws all together. This has a 2 year warrenty and hoping never to need it but the selling point that put this saw above the competitors are the reviews about the great customer service in comparing to its closest competitor which had good saw reviews but horrible customer service reviews. I also saw some reviews on the WEN about the chain coming off which you have to deal with on any saw, I had been cutting for around 2 minutes when i cut one of the small nasty vines we have in east texas and lost the chain took a second to put it back on. After that I avoided the vines and had no problems at all. I adjust the chain every ten minutes and probably could have gone longer. I went thru around half of my oil reservoir in a hour and it should last for a full charge. Thumbs up, I absolutely love this saw and hope to ultimely be able to eliminate the need for a gas saw in the future. I am curious to see if the narrower kerf chain is avaliable locally.
