Purchased the Echo 8 months ago. I've run chainsaws professionally for many years. Wear and tear on my arm and shoulder when starting had me checking out cordless saws. We've always used commercial grade Sthils and Husqvarna's so I was a bit concerned about the Echo's performance. That said I'm very impressed, runs like a demon, really as good as your tests suggest. No issues after lots of brush clearing and multiple cords of firewood.

I probably started my last comment with this same sentence: 'I can't say enough how helpful these videos are.' They also show that across-the-board brand loyalty is a potential pitfall; X brand might make the best ( a,b,c) tools and Y brand make the worst (a,b,c), but the Y brand of (d,e,f) tools can outperform brand X's (d,e,f) tools by a mile. This fact speaks to the need to explore various options in a scientific and unbiased format in order to pick the best tool for the job whether your eye is toward overall value, maximum performance, or just what to stay away from at all costs! Thanks so much for all you do, Project Farm! You are a hero to people who buy and use tools that they rely on for their lives and livelihoods! Bravo!

The WEN responded to every challenge I gave it. It's not commercial grade like some of the others but for $238 for the saw and two batteries, I'm quite pleased.

I own an Echo, and I’ve always been a Stihl man. When I went looking I was at a dealer who had echo, Stihl, and Husky lines of chainsaws. He said I would be surprised at the Echo but I told him I thought they were a brand more for homeowners, not for a logger type person wanting an equal high quality performer. He then said, try it, you’ll like it. Echo has been making great strives in the world of professional lovers and for the money they’re hard to beat. Long story short, I LOVE IT!!! Thanks for your review.

Thing with the stihl the speed of the charger and the battery being used it many other machines, I have a hedge trimmer and lawnmower that all run on the same battery.

@@dennispope8160 I started with the EGO 16", and was just amazed at it's performance. But, when the motor developed a bearing failure, it had to go in for warranty repair. They apparently replaced the motor. After receiving it back it is starting to make the same internal noise as when it first failed. While the 16" saw was in the shop, EGO released the 18" saw, which I immediately purchased. So very glad I did. The 16" is no slouch, but the 18" does have a few features the 16" doesn't. Steel dogs, LED headlamps, and much higher RPM. My saws are used to cut decades old pacific madrone. One of the hardest woods I know of. Prior to going cordless, my main saw was a Stihl 290 which I sold after buying the 16" EGO.

@@SnifferSock yeah I really do like Stihl chainsaws. I now have a new Husqvarna that I purchased a couple of years ago and I say it's new because I haven't run but about maybe a gallon of gas through it. The only reason I changed to husky is because the Stihl dealer here in town has really suck service. Where I bought my first Stihl chainsaw and later weed eater at some 40 odd years ago got too old to deal with everything and sold the store and they decided on not carrying outdoor power equipment anymore. I still have that old 028 and an old 031 or 3 2 but they need gas line filter assemblies and they don't make them anymore. I even told the guy look if you'll do this to fix it and he says we don't jerry- rig. Well I was already down pretty bad in health but I'm getting a little better so I just got to get my glasses on, buy me some tubing, any kind of filter that I can attach it to and I will replace my own gas line assemblies I just hope I can still get a carburetor kit. And unfortunately there are manufacturers that will only agree to make parts for their equipment even like washers and dryers, for maybe 10 years some maybe 15 but then again other companies decide to make Parts on for several more years. So go gas and go Stihl and now that I own a Husqvarna go Husqvarna too! I don't guess I'll be switching to Electric for long time. happy cutting to you! And have a wonderful Christmas!

That's what I was thinking. I am actually not much of a tool user (yes, why do I watch these videos? Because you never know, and they're entertaining), but I'm aware that DeWalt has a ton of electric products and their batteries tend to be interchangeable, at least to an extent (I'm not sure what if any restrictions they might have, presumably some batteries aren't designed to be used with some of their tools). Yet I don't recall the Echo brand. Might have seen something of theirs in an older video, but I can't recall. So, the long term availability of their replacement batteries is suspect IMO.

I bought an Ego 18” from Amazon on November 8th. I had to send it back for a replacement. Got the replacement on November 27th. Sending replacement back today for full refund. A cut which should have been 5 seconds took me 20 minutes. Ego customer support is useless if you are within 30 days of your purchase date. Your only option is to return it.

I realize that markets and prices fluctuate like crazy but including a price comparison of extra batteries(maybe just msrp? Idk..) would also be very helpful.

Very interesting review. I'm a heavy battery chainsaw user and owned the Ego, Dewalt, Echo and today I purchased the Stihl. The Ego and Dewalt are not intended for heavy use and returned them almost immediately. I used the Echo intensively for a little over a year, it's great but had some issues (chain falling off easily) and the motor stopped working - I would say it's more a prosumer model. I have not used the Stihl yet but hopefully I will have it for many years! One missing contender for round 3 is the husqvarna 540i XP!

@@williamrutter3619 better is going to completely depend. Obviously if you're a professional logger, you're going to want a gas chainsaw. Or if you happen to own a very large farm, or a small forrest, park ranger... Gas is going to be the right choice. For 99% of people who aren't loggers, an electric chainsaw just makes sense. No pulling no priming no maintenance no storing gas no mixing no ear protection. You don't have to carry a running saw up a ladder, and they're easier to use at odd angles for pruning. And if you watch the end of the video he says that echo should be able to cut 32 times through a fairly thick hardwood tree. If you have an extra battery that's 60 cuts. After cutting 60 logs you're going to want to take a hour off anyway. Eat some food, let the batteries recharge. And get back to work. Or use the time efficiently, use an ax to start limbing and splitting. Plus I don't know if you noticed but the cut times for the echo were actually faster than both the stihl. Gas and electric. But even the Ryobi and the ego which are about the same price as the stihl 170 / 171 did a good job too. And they're still going to be a better choice for most people.

@@JC-fj7oo one tree can be quite considerably large, and they do fall, I live on farm, not large one, a tree can take day's to sort out, 7 mins isn't running through logs isn't going to work, these petrol chainsaws start pretty easy it isn't an issue and the clutch and chain brake stops the chain from moving, a responsible owner or tenant of property needs a good chainsaw, being out of battery isn't an option.

@@williamrutter3619 Apparently you can't read, because I did say that people on farms might want a gas saw. And no a tenant should NEVER be using a chainsaw on the property, they should be calling the landlord and the landlord should be doing it or calling a service to do it. The insurance nightmare of a tenant spending hundreds on a saw and potentially causing thousands in damage or harming/killing someone/themselves to save a couple hundred on a tree service... That's retarded. And I do not use that word lightly. For a truck saw to clear a road or do some basic emergency cuts, electric works better. It's easier to store, it always starts. The gas doesn't go bad. No priming or pulling or standing in the cold trying to fuck with it. Slide the battery on, push the trigger. Put the battery on a charger once a year... Good to go. Also important to mention that the 170 and all of the electric are LIGHT duty saws. They are for homeowners and landscapers to quickly cut down and process a couple trees once in a while. Deal with limbs. Basic homeowner tasks. If you have a forest or a farm and need to cut down larger trees regularly, then you will want a bigger and more powerful saw. Expect to pay 4-500 for a pro tool. But for the 99.99% of the world that has never felled a redwood: The electric is fine. Even wranglerstar had a vid about it. He hates anything new, but he said he mostly reaches for his dewalt now. His wife and kid prefer to use the dewalt. And he has a bunch of other high quality chainsaws and manages a small forest. He got 25 cuts with his test. If you use an axe and pruners for limbing, you should be able to fell and buck a 50' tree on a single charge. And again, the vast majority of people are not qualified to cut down a tree that's more than 50' anyway. And with a spare batt they can do 2 of them. After a couple hours you can come back and do 2 more. If you need to fell more than 4 50ft trees in a day, that's NOT light duty. And you can rent a 20" chainsaw for like $50 for the day. But that's also way outside the scope of what almost all homeowners are doing with their saws. Something that is easier and faster for a shorter period of time, but still plenty to get the job done, is going to be better for most people. It you don't happen to be like most people, woohoo, you're special. Good for you.
