A cordless electric saw that is the comparative equivalent of a similar sized gas saw..... As with any other subject, there are strengths and weaknesses to consider. I have had ample time to use this saw before writing this review, so I am speaking with experience rather than initial impressions. The only true dislike or actual negative thing I can say here. is that the safety switch is all wrong! That is it, literally and period! The safety switch requires that you use your thumb to pull it back before you can activate the trigger. If it where to be a true saw, it would have a safety switch that disengaged when you squeeze the handle like on a gas saw. The only cordless electric saw I have not compared is the new Milwaukee model. Which came out after I got the Echo saw. This model has a bar & chain oiler that is as reliable as any Stihl or Husqavarna gas saw. For the casual user,,, I recommend it as the ONLY choice to consider. The Stihl model is excellent and reliable. But only targeting the tree pruner, arborist. Once again, with the exception of the Milwaukee model which I have not tested yet. The one I received had a chisel tooth chain on...

This chainsaw is amazing. I completely buried the bar into Oak and it slows down a little bit, but kept on chugging. With the 4 MA battery I got a solid 1.5 hrs of cutting out of this, and my spare 4 MA battery is charged within 30 minutes. It is so quiet that you don't need ear protection, which makes you much more aware of your surroundings and makes it even safer.
I ended up buying this chainsaw, the Hedge Trimmer and the Blower, all from Echo's 58v set. All of the tools are great, but this chainsaw is definitely my favorite of the bunch.
If I had to do it all over again the only thing I'd do differently is I'd buy a 4MA battery and a 2MA battery rather than two 4MA. Since batteries go bad so quickly, I didn't want to get tools with batteries for all three tools. As a result I bought the chainsaw with a battery, bought a 4MA battery directly, and then got the rest of the tools under the "Tool Only" option. This gave me three tools and two 4MA batteries, and I was able to save quite a bit of money in the tool purchase (Hint: Lots of refurbished/like new Echo equipment on Ebay for 1/3 the cost of elsewhere).
The problem with this is that...

Justin MJustin M: I’ve used gas stihl’s, husky’s, and poulan’s before and being electric, this saw holds its own. Took two battery charges to fell, limb and buck the 70’ tree in the picture. Took a little over an hour to charge from dead. Very happy with this saw!
