Impressive!
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!

An impressive saw.
Iâve 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 Reportsâ rating of it too just the other day, and it gave it high marks as well.

Works well so far
Bought this for some little jobs around the yard. I have several other gas chain saws, but wanted something that is less frustrating to start. I have used it for some cleanup and to cut down a tree with about an 8 inch trunk. It has worked very well so far, cuts quickly (with a sharp chain), and battery life seems good. Much quieter than any gas chainsaw.

It works well, just a couple minor things.
Once I opened, it the first thing I did (as with all tools that have these types of batteries) is charge the battery. Then I started reading the instructions to learn about this new chainsaw. We have never owned one before and I saw that even though it doesn’t use gas, it still needs oil. I looked at every reference to oil I could find and nothing told me what type, so I had to Google that and assume what I read would work. Fortunately, it did. It cut through pretty much every branch and tree I needed it to until it ran out of battery. We got maybe an hour or two of use out of it. That’s a minor thing because it’s about normal for these battery powered tools. So if you get this, I recommend also getting a back-up battery. Use one while charging the other, swap as needed, etc.

Ego Beast!!
This chainsaw works like wonder! Battery life was still good even on a smaller battery. Easy to use but make sure you buy the lubricant oil as well in order to use this tool. Good to keep in trucks for camping or just driving in wooded areas.

So far, pretty good in warm weather.
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).

Great gas replacement
Great buy since I have a couple Ego batteries already. The power and ease of use is amazing! This is truly a gas chainsaw replacement and I like the two stage snowblower as well. A little pricey to get into the Ego ecosystem but NO DISSAPOINTMENTS ONCE IN!!

Great Chainsaw
This Ego chainsaw worked much better than anticipated. Having very limited experience using a chainsaw, it was very easy to set up and use. I was able to remove a fallen maple tree in my yard without any issue. The chainsaw cut through the tree very smoothly. My only recommendation would be to purchase a longer lasting battery for larger projects that require constant cutting. For my project the 2.5ah battery was sufficient. This chainsaw has the power to cut through large tree trunks and is very quiet. This is a great tool for my yard projects.
