I bought one two weeks ago. Cut down 5 or 6 small trees with it. The battery held up very well!

[@CoffeePot42]

I have gone through two of these saws. I have cut for decades. Electronics goes faulty after around 50hrs of use. Very disappointing. Out of box, the saw was fantastic. I hope they fix the issues.

Yeah just bought a house have some small patch of medium sized brush trees whatever. Nothing huge. Thinking about getting something like this to not deal with fuel :P I need to clear that area. Another thing.. the sound decimal level is fantastic. I can only imagine another 10-20 years these electric chainsaws will be incredible.

Ya. I’ve heard the one by EGO is also a good buy. I think they are a great option for occasional use.

Found it,great video

Excited to see how the 540i compares! This one’s been getting a lot of use the past couple weeks.

Electric saws are great for every small job! Only with latest Lith. cell tech. or cord powered.

[@ArborActive]

I’ll be giving it a try on a small pruning job tomorrow. Only need to make a a dozen or so small cuts. Should be the perfect tool!

@@ArborActive Very reliable, got have it. instant power!

Husky battery backpack is spendy, but it’ll go for much much longer and makes the saw super light. I’m looking at their 16” 540i XP, but don’t see where this 350 fits into Husky’s lineup yet.

[@CTHomeFirewood]

Not bad for a battery! I wonder how many you'd need to got non stop cycling extras on the charger.

[@ArborActive]

15 minutes of hard cutting, call it 25 by time you set up and walk around. I’ll bet 3 batteries and 2 of the fast chargers might keep up. Those batteries and chargers are $$$.

You need to check out the new EGO 20” chainsaw. They have a commercial 20” also.

[@ArborActive]

@@cecilmize1 I saw a video or 2 on it after I got this one and had a little buyers remorse! Maybe I’ll snag one to do a side by side comparison. Just had the power axes out to cut some 19” maple and I still have to say that I’m not at all disappointed, it does pretty well! I’ll post some video of that up shortly.

[@rschreck876]

Assuming overkill if I were to get it to cut up deadfall for firewood while camping?

[@ArborActive]

@@rschreck876 should handle that task easily, and likely have enough juice on a charge to cut plenty of wood for a few days fired. I wouldn’t want to have to hike it in anywhere though. It not as heavy as my commercial grade gas saws, but still would but heavier than I want to hike with. Check out a good quality hand saw like a silky zubat if you are looking for something light and agile. You’d be surprised what a good handsaw will do.

[@rschreck876]

No hiking here. I live in my van so i’d be parked right next to the tree.

[@rschreck876]

They do have a smaller one with a 14” bar. That would probably be the better choice.

[@davegeorge7094]

How many watt hours is the battery? Very important. Gas saws will beat power/weight for now!

[@ArborActive]

@@davegeorge7094 came with the BLI30 battery. 270Wh
