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

I've been converting from gas powered tools to battery powered mainly because it's getting too hard to start my two-cycle tools (edger, trimmer, hedge trimmer, blower). I haven't been let down yet. Lot's of power. Battery life isn't a problem because I can only use one tool at a time but I've purchased tools with batteries so I now have 4 fully charged batteries before starting any job. The smaller 2.5mh batteries may not last as long but they are so much lighter that usage vs weight balance out. Also EGO warranty support has been great. I had a blower that stopped working and EGO sent me a replacement. That locked EGO in as my go to lawn tool tool. This chainsaw is a beast and has easily cut down anything I have chosen to tackle. Only one problem: It did not come with bar oil so make sure you purchase a bottle of that. Fortunately I had bar oil from my gas powered chainsaw and ChatGPT said bar oil is bar oil so I was able to use that. You can also search around for the cheapest price. I got my EGO 16" chain saw at the lowest price I'd seen and $40 less than Ace Hardware or Lowes. Unfortunately it had a 10 day delivery time but for the savings, that was worth it for me. Then to my surprise it was delivered in 3 days!! Another bonus from that specific seller.

I've had a lot of battery tools over the years but I've stayed away from outdoor equipment because I'm even tougher on and more demanding of outdoor equipment than I am my shop tools. A while ago I did get a 6" battery chainsaw, a cheap knockoff, and I was impressed with it. It was so easy to use and it was so useful! Then my 16" Stihl chainsaw died and I was forced to make a choice, electric or gas to replace it. I have a 20" & 28" gas saw for heavy cutting. This is my light duty saw, it's for limbs, small trees, yard cleanup. While it never sees the hardest use, it's the saw I'm most likely to grab for some quick project. While I was skeptical, the reviews both on Amazon and the rest of the internet, had me believing this EGO Power+ CS1611 might be the right choice. Turns out it definitely is the right choice. I had a small tree (about 25 ft tall, 12" diameter) fall over a few days before the saw came. I charged up the battery overnight and got to work in the morning. This saw was every bit as good as my Stihl and in many ways better. It's compact, light-weight, and much quieter. More importantly, it cuts fast. As fast as any small gas chainsaw I've ever had previously. It's well-balanced, the dogs work well, and the no tool chain tensioning is great. I thought the thing I was going to like most about this chainsaw was going to be starting it. Small gas chainsaws are ALWAYS a pain to start, even when they're broken in and perfectly tuned. I was wrong, although just pressing a button to start it is wonderful. Turns out the thing I love best about this saw is the lack of vibration. I've gotten old enough that the vibration of a chainsaw will leave my wrists, elbows, and shoulders sore after even a fairly short bit of use. I cut up the entire tree and the next day there was no soreness because there's almost no vibration. So if you're older, this saw is much easier on your joints. As far as battery life, I'd say that the included 2.5Ah battery is about equivalent to a 1/2 tank of gas in my old Stihl 16". I did the whole tree on one battery but the battery was done at the end. I've already got a 2nd battery and I think if I run through both batteries my body will be done even if the work isn't. So, if you're looking for a great, small, chainsaw and you're on the fence between gas and battery, get off the fence. This is the saw to get!

It has a lot of power and long battery life . it is very safe to use .great value for the price. Seems to stay well oiled .

Simple to use, makes almost no noise, easy to handle, and does the job on small to medium sized trees and limbs. It's the perfect chainsaw for a homeowner who wants to tackle jobs around the house. The only detail is you need to buy bar and chain oil as it's not shipped in the same box as the chainsaw. The battery lasts about 30 cuts, but I have a series of Ego products, so it's easy to have another battery on standby.

This is a great saw. I got the 2.5ah battery because I already have a 5ah battery of the same type. If this is your 1st EGO purchase and you don't have other EGO 56v batteries then I'd recommend you order one with the larger battery. Are you going to become Paul Bunyan with this saw, no, not at all. Are you going to be able to handle sawing tasks around your house, absolutely. I cut down a foot diameter tree yesterday with this saw. Would I want to cut down 10 trees with it, no, but 1 tree and a ton of limbs it handled just fine. Make sure you order saw oil as the saw does not come with any.

It won't replace a gas saw for someone doing real work; but for a camping saw, general sporadic use around a homestead, an emergency ready tool, etc. It's very good. Battery lasts longer than I would have thought, I'm using the 2.5 ah unit and was pleasantly surprised. Charges the battery pretty wuickly as well. Power is pretty good. Pleasantly quiet. You can use it when a gas saw would definitely be inappropriate, such as at a campground when there's someone camping next to you. Oiler is very frugal. I actually wish it oiled a bit more for peace of mind, but bar and chain are holding up fine so far. Make sure you get the new version with the metal dogs and better switchgear and handle. I handled the old version locally and there is a visible and tactile difference. Update: Very susceptible to performance loss in cold weather. It was basically unusable on a camping trip where overnight Temps got into the low to mid 20s (F).

This is so much better than my old Craftsman gas chainsaw. Starts every time, quiet, cuts great, not to heavy, plenty of power. I'll never go back to gas again.

Easy to use. convenient because of the battery power. No gas to deal with. cuts well. easy to clean up after using. battery charge lasts good. very handy for work around the property

Delight to use. Great not to have to mix 2 stroke oil/gas - or deal with long extension cords. I would recommend having two batteries.

Great for clearing brush and other yard chores.

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

Nice

La scie est très bonne mais la batterie est pas terrible
