I’ve got an EGO chainsaw with an 18” bar that has worked great for the cleanup around my 1 acre property. I’ve cut down a few trees with 8-12” trunks on them. It works really good for me.
One difference between using this and a traditional chainsaw is when operating at the limit of the saw. For the EGO chainsaw, it won’t start moving the chain if there is resistance on it. If you overload it and the saw bogs down and stops, you almost need to remove it from the tree, get the blade going again, and resume your cut. If you don’t force it’s progress bogging the saw down, it will work good. The method I see people do with bogging down a 2-stroke chainsaw does not work with the EGO products.
The 5.0 Ah batteries are good for dozens of cuts, but you may have to pace yourself waiting for batteries to charge. You can’t do a full day of cutting with their chainsaw without several extra batteries or their high speed chargers. I limit myself to cutting down a single tree and then cleaning up the mess from that tree, so it hasn’t been a problem for me.
I also have their pole saw attachment for my multi-head tool along with an extension for added reach. This works really good, even when cutting 4-6” limbs.
