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

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!

Very impressed with the power and run time of the saw. Seems very durable. Was skeptical but very happy with the purchase and it came with a battery.

Seems like a good product. Worked out of the box. I bought it because I'm getting older and gas saws getting heavier to my arms and pull starting is very difficult. It's also pretty quiet for the amount of power it has. It has a limited battery runtime, but that's not an issue for me because at 60 years old it exceeds my battery-runtime. As far as performance, this thing isn't going to take down trees with a 10" trunk. Neither will a 40cc gas saw. I use it for smaller dead growth cutting in tight spaces. If you're looking at this product to take down large trees, I'd suggest questioning your judgement and maybe hire professionals. It will do great for yard clean-up. I started the review as a 3, but realized it wasn't fair to the product to give it a bad rating for horrible shipping times (3+ weeks from Prime). Also, remember to register the product right away. The manufacturer has a good battery warranty if you do.

I’ve used gas and corded chain saws in the past. This one works very well. It has a lot of power, is of moderate weight, very easy to use, seems to built with appropriate safety features; no near emergencies have arisen from use of it yet where they could have been activated. The battery, at least while new and only having been charged a few times so far, has a lot of capacity. It cuts quickly. It can derail the chain rather fast from small amounts of debris getting into the mechanism, and it takes a few minutes to take the cover off and put everything back on track. Beyond that I like it. I saw Consumer Reports’ rating of it too just the other day, and it gave it high marks as well.

The saw cuts through the logs like knife through butter. Very impressed with the saw

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.

Works well but chain loosens up very easily. Needs to have a better bar locking system.

My husband was going to have me return this chainsaw without even trying it. I told him to at least take it out of the box and give it a chance. Once he tried it, he loved it. One of the biggest things he liked was that there is very little “pre-maintenance” needed before using it compared to a gas-powered chainsaw. There is no messing with gas, pulling a cord over and over, or dealing with all the usual startup frustration. It is much easier to get going and use when needed. I was also surprised that it was easy enough for me to use. It felt manageable, convenient, and much less intimidating than a gas chainsaw. The 16-inch size is useful for yard cleanup and cutting branches or small-to-medium jobs around the property. Overall, we highly recommend it, especially if you already have other EGO equipment and batteries. It is convenient, easy to use, and a great alternative to a gas-powered chainsaw.

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.
