Customers Say
This electric chainsaw is easy to use, powerful for garden tasks, and good value. Some users note chain assembly and tightening issues, and oil must be purchased separately.

Top cutting
Very easy to use, clean, maintain. Helpful safety feature. Does the job required smoothly. Doesn't take much oil to keep the cutting blade working efficiently.

Excellent alternative to petrol
I bought this to replace a worn out 15-year-old McCullough petrol chain saw which I used for domestic cutting. Out of the box, I was first impressed with the quality feel of the chainsaw. It is made specially for Sainsbury/Argos and so the instructions are in English, full and clear with plenty of useful guidance. The extension cord is good quality flex with a neat little hook inside the handle to prevent tugging on the connector. I stuck with a 40cm blade as these should be easier to source. The replacement guide bar and chain Oregon 160SDEA041 and 91PJ056X are easy to find online. The power is the same as my previous chainsaw but is much quieter. In use the saw is not particularly heavy but feels solid, it cuts through logs with easy (I have now used it for several weeks and have cut through loads collected over winter ranging from 30cm to 10cm in diameter. I haven't needed to sharpen the blade yet. It lubricates well, is easy to adjust and easy to clean out the guide bar. Overall very impressed, so far. The only thing of note is that the individual cutting links are 3 to 1 rather tha the usual 2 to 1 (the replacement looks like 3 to 1). It makes no difference to the cutting experience.

Great purchase
I bought this 2weeks ago and I don’t regret it at all! For the price paid in the sale I got an absolute bargain. Had a decent sized tree in the garden and did the job with ease. I’ve even managed to cut the trunk into show logs and at no point did it struggle (even through the knots) Do remember though you, need to purchase oil separately but all in all a perfect purchase!

Good product
I bought this chainsaw to cut down some quite big branches on an Apple tree. It did the job and cut through easily. I’m very pleased so far.

Heavy but it does the job
A decent budget chainsaw, it does the job though it is on the heavy side....and don't forget to buy chainsaw oil separately!
