This chainsaw is good for what it is. It is similar to my battery powered polesaw. After using it the first time, it felt like a toy, but it got the job done. It fills the gap between my bladed weedwacker and my 18" Stihl. I used it to cut a 3" oak but it took a lot longer than my Stihl. So now I know its range. I mostly use it to cut scrub trees/bushes from 1-3" and trim limbs within the safety zone. It is perfect for that. It is lightweight and therefore easy to control. It doesn't use fossil fuels or pollute and I don't have to use hearing protection which helps with my situational awareness. For its first test I ran it for about 50 minutes like I would a regular saw. Cut, limb, drag the mess to a pile...rinse and repeat. There was still lots of battery left. You can't think this is going to perform like a regular saw but it is an excellent saw for clearing smaller brush although you can cut bigger trees, just not as efficiently. I like that it is a big name brand so I will be able to get new batteries in years to come.Read full review

Slow chain RPM speed or/and poor blade design result in a rough, jerky cut even with a fully charged battery and light pressure. The need to drain and discard the oil remaining in the oil reservoir at the end of the project is a negative. However, the use of this saw greatly reduces the time and effort to complete projects compared to the use of manual saws.

This product is outstanding as all of my DeWalt tools and equipment have been. It is very well designed, rugged and does an amazing job of cutting our oak trees (some as much as 8" in diameter). As you can tell, I am very pleased with this purchase. (Some folks have noted in reviews that the cap for the oil reservoir is hard to get off. This one was tight but a little power and it came right out.)

This saw is perfect for what I wanted it for. I use it to cut small trees and limbs up to about 8 inches in diameter. The chain speed is slower than the gas powered saws but will do the job. It is lighter and easy to maneuver. The 5ah battery will last through 1 1/2 to 2 tanks of bar oil. It met my expectations

This is a great saw with good power and light when working with small branches or trees. Been using it a lot and very happy with it. And it's a DeWalt so expect it will last a long time and batteries are interchangeable with other tools. I also have a large gas chain saw at twice the weight and happy I don't have to pull tht out every time I need to take care of a small job which is a lot. Just pick it up and go saw. Only thing I noticed you may want to keep on eye on the oil level which is conveniently located on the front of the motor casing. Seems like it uses a good amount of oil when you're out for a while
