Great Electric Chainsa
I purchased this electric chainsaw because I had a couple of very tall pine trees that had needle cast disease. It was too expensive to have them sprayed every year and there were some fir trees behind them that were not susceptible to the disease that were being robbed of sun light by these trees. The estimate to take these trees down was somewhere around $300. The saw was about a third of that cost.
I read the reviews and the two big items were the chain falling off, the oiler not working with thicker chain saw oil and the chainsaw leaking oil after use when it was in storage.
1. Chain falling off: I found that when you first put the chain on, if it is not perfectly fitted it would in fact come off. However, once I got the chain installed properly it stayed on for the duration and it was in fact easy to keep the chain tensioned correctly with the automatic tensioner. Maybe this could have been easier but to be honest I find gas chainsaws require a lot more fiddling than this saw does so I did not see this as much of a problem.
2. Oiler finicky about oil: I purchased Husqvarna bar and chain oil. At first it seemed like it was not oiling the chain as it should so I called the manufacturer who said to run it a little longer and it should work. I did what they said and low and behold the oil flowed and never failed me thereafter. In other words I don't see any problem with the automatic oiler.
3. Leaking oil: After I used the saw I took it apart and cleaned it and then put the base in a oil pan I used to use when I changed my cars oil. After one day I had one drop of oil. Apparently this is not a problem with my saw.
This saw worked flawlessly. It bit into the wood well and cut easily. We took down two 20 foot plus trees and cut them up in a little over an hour. I would recommend this chainsaw to anyone. It's a great convenient saw. BTW, no problem with the cord getting in the way. It was just a dream to use. I'm glad I got it. I saved myself a lot of money.Read full review

I wish I could return this lame chainsaw, very very disappointed!
This chainsaw is very heavy. It's only good for the first cut, then when you want to do the 2nd cut, it'll suddenly lose the cutting power, the chain will run and run without any cutting power. You pull it out, check the tension, adjust it a little bit, check the oil, both look fine, but the 2nd cut won't go anywhere. I've tried several times to cut different trees, but the result were all the same, only the 1st cut working, the 2nd cut only resulted chainsaw kept running without any cutting, then it'll smoke from the cutting groove. I'm very disappointed with this chainsaw. It looks well-built, but nothing more.

Well worth it.
This is a nice little chain saw, I've always used gas saws in the past but don't need that big saw in town. Works really well at tackling projects around the house. Has plenty of power to cut up those big logs. Not quite auto tension you have to turn the knob on the side but is super quick and easy.Read full review

Nice to have if you have a way to power it
Took it out the first day and cut some logs I had that were to long to split. Worked perfectly has good power to cut most anything I have on the property. Have used it several times since using a portable generator to power it and cutting logs that need trimmed to split.Read full review

Great Saw
Love everything about this saw except the chain length is not standard. Standard 18" chain is 62 drive teeth and this has 63. Other than that I love it. Works great has plenty of power for even a large hard wood tree.Read full review

Easy to use!
The Worx chainsaw 18” is easy to use it has a hand brake, and a safety button, just make sure the handbrake is pulled towards you works beautifully! The only thing I did experience is for thick logs you cannot go straight down, chain will get stuck. A V-cut would be a better option.Read full review

Well balanced great tool for the home owner
I'm not a tree pro but when the need arises I want to do the job and move on. My old gas saw 2 stroke mixing hassle and cold start and stalling problems just got too much. You just check your chain tension and chain oil plug it in cut what needs cutting and your done. No fouled plugs no old gas no running it waiting to burn off gas so it doesn't get old. For a regular home owner with some fallen trees or limbs it's all you need.Read full review

Best electric chainsaw I've ever used - 18 inches of cutting power!
This chainsaw can do much more than you might expect for an electric one. I've used a couple of other brands of electric chainsaws over the years and feel this is a superior product. So far so good as I've gone through some good sized logs already like a hot knife through butter.Read full review

WORX WG304.1 15 Amp 18" Electric Chainsaw with Auto-Tension - CHAINSAW NEWBIE!!
I purchased it about a month ago and have used it to cut down 3 trees about 6” in diameter. I’m very impressed with the quality and the convenience of it being electric. Not included, you will need to purchase chainsaw oil, an extension cord, and face/head protection before use. I highly recommend the WG304.1, the motor is strong and the extra length allows you to cut from a safer distance. 4 stars because it’s shipped with the saw exposed. The saw cover arrived cracked.

Who needs gas?
OK, so it won't match the sheer power of a gas saw.. but it will cut anything you put in front of it, with no fumes, less noise, and less vibration. I tried a few times to find a gas saw to replace an old one that was stolen, but was never happy until I found this electric saw. Thanks! Read full review
