Top 9 Best Cordless Chainsaw 2026: Expert Tested & Ranked

Customer Review: “This chainsaw is a bad mofo. I left the big chainsaw in the shop and worked with this one. It cuts trees 7-8” inches diameter like it’s nothing. And will cut even bigger. No issues. It’s so so easy to use. Super light. Can’t say enough about it. The battery lasted longer than I did. I cut for 30 minutes with it and it still had 75% battery life left. Amazing buy!!!”

Customer Review: “The saw on the pole is probably around 10′ in length so the “16′ reach” depends on how tall you are and how long your arms are. None the less, I am very pleased with the purchase of this pole saw. I had several widow makers in the yard after an ice storm and this saw did the trick.I installed the 8″ bar/chain. I logged some 5″ diameter limbs with no problem.No idea how long the actual saw run time was but I was out there for several hours and made plenty of cuts and I only used half of one battery.The pole saw is balanced fairly well with the battery at the base. Not heavy/awkward to maneuver around.The chain is very sharp and cuts quickly. As with any chain saw, you have to keep the blade out of the dirt!The chain tension knob is part of the assembly that secures the side cover so understand that before operating. The instructions weren’t crystal clear on that function.One of the best parts of this saw is that you can use it by itself; not on the pole. Cutting up limbs can be challenging/dangerous with a big saw. Being able to handle this saw with one hand while holding a limb as needed to cut it to length makes this saw perfect for small jobs.Compared to renting a pole saw, having this small, lightweight, electric saw is well worth the price I paid for it.”

Customer Review: “I bought this saw to handle small to medium sized trees and branches on a piece of property I bought up in the mountains. I could not have had a better tool on me to get the job done. The battery life is fantastic lasting me through an entire weekend of cutting underbrush, branches, and small trees on a single battery/charge. This saw is worth every penny and is a workhorse. I’ve had no issues with the saw and have used it for many weekends already and I have yet to have to sharpen it. The blade that comes stock is highly durable and has remained sharp with proper use. This saw adds the perfect combination of comfortability in your hands with good length and reach. I have yet to find a situation that it has had issue with. Definitely a must have for property owners who need a tool much lighter than a chainsaw that can last all day for all of that pesky underbrush and small trees that a chainsaw is just simply not practical for.”

Customer Review: “I love this little chainsaw. I’ve been looking at them at my local big box and small hardware stored for about a year but the prices were beyond my reach. I don’t have large amount of land, but what I do have is about a third wooded, mostly with HUGE oak trees. I have an 18″ Oregon chainsaw so that if and when one of those falls it handles it easily. It is, however, big and heavy. Tiny acorns sprout into new oak trees and it’s a yearly battle trying to keep up with them, made even more of a pain by the size and weight of the big chainsaw or the tediousness of a hand pruning saw. I tried a reciprocating saw with a good pruning blade and it worked but was still too slow, I already have several DeWalt 20c batteries (original and after-market) so getting the bare tool was a no-brainer. It’s perfect for my needs – it blasts through anything up to 7″ in diameter and beyond that I’d use the big saw anyway. This one is less than half the weight of the big saw, even with a 6Ah battery, which balances it perfectly. Also, I can’t say enough about the seller Toolup of Las Vegas, NV. They shipped my saw, brand-new in the box, the same day I ordered it and it arrived on the specified day, at a great price.Here’s a couple of tips. Spend some extra and get the DeWalt biodegradable bar and chain oil. It’s what they recommend, will help prevent seal damage and subsequent leakage and, since you should dump any remainder after each use, there are no disposal issues. Next, while the Dewalt chain that comes with the saw is fine, get an Oregon 8″ R34. It’s a little more aggressive and will make all cutting go a tad faster. Finally, consider getting one or more 16 oz. squeeze bottles for the oil, the kind they use at some restaurants and many people use for cookouts. They allow for precise, no-mess oil-filling. I got two, because this saw and the big one take different types of oil, and it works like a charm.”

Customer Review: “After an acquaintance was given a similar saw, I bought this one and ma very glad I did. It is very handy, the battery lasts quite a while, and it really cuts, even through a 5″ live limb that had to come down where I needed to park my RV. I have not had any issues cutting anything that I’ve touched it with.The only issue I have with is the layout of the case. When closed up and sitting handle up, the saw is situated inside the case such that it will leak chain oil making a bit of a mess inside he case. Just remember to lay the case on it’s side when not in use.”

Customer Review: “Great little mini chainsaw. I use it vigorously for several hours at a time. The battery life was longer than expected but I do carry both batteries fully charged when I work with it. A major plus for this chainsaw verses others is it has an actual reservoir for the chain bar oil! No need to stop and continue to add a little oil to the blade itself all of the time. Came with two chains and a carrying case and other extras, so what’s not to love at this incredible price point? For some reason the color teal was way cheaper. I can live with teal! I’m an older female and managed this saw very easily, not heavy at all.”

Customer Review: “I’ve been wanting one of these mini chainsaws for a while after watching my nephew use his Stihl. I loved the idea of having something powerful but not oversized.This one is perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to wrestle with a full-size chainsaw. It’s lightweight, easy to handle, and ideal for small projects like trimming limbs, cutting back brush, or quick yard cleanup.It has plenty of power for its size and feels manageable, even if you don’t have a lot of upper body strength. For light to medium tasks around the house or property, it’s a great tool to have on hand.I absolutely love it and wish I had gotten one sooner. 🌿”

Customer Review: “I bought this small chainsaw about 6 months ago for light cutting of branches and brush around the yard with the hope that it could handle some tasks more easily than could be done with large lopping shears or hand saws. I have had occasion to use it several times since purchase and have, each time, been pleased at how well such a small electric saw has handled the tasks at hand. It cuts smaller branches rapidly and with ease since it has good power and cutting speed. Just today, we had a very large branch come down due to age and wind. It is clearly large enough to require professional removal by an arborist. But, the end section of the branch was smaller in size (4″ – 5″ thickness) and had fallen in such a way as to create a problem across our driveway. I decided to see if this saw could handle this section for me . . . . .and it did so with ease. I did not try to cut through the full thickness of the branch, but easily cut about 2” into it on one side and then did the same from the other side. This left a small piece in the middle to be cut and my Saker saw cut that away with ease – problem solved. Don’t be fooled by the term “mini” electric saw. Yes, it’s a small saw for small jobs, but it functions with easy handling and excellent power for many types and sizes of yard brush and trees. It’s a saw that outperforms what one might expect of a saw at this very modest price. I only wish that I had bought it with a carrying case for ease of storage and transport, but that was my error of judgment. The saw performs fully as well as advertised. Would I buy it again if I had it to do over? Absolutely!”

Customer Review: “I bought this over two years ago, and it is still going strong. I have three large trees in my backyard, and every storm, a couple of branches come down. I had it out again today, and thought I would write a review. Here is what to know:Pros- This cuts branches and small trees up to about 4-5 inches, maybe a little bigger if you take your time and don’t pinch the blade in the cut.- The battery lasts forever. I last charged this 3 months ago, then used it for a while, and when I took it out today, I had enough charge to cut several large branches.- It comes with two batteries, which increases the usefulness.- Small and easy to work with.Cons- Not really a con, but you need to check the tightness of the blade occasionally to keep it in safe working order. I probably tightened this 3-4, and used it 20 times.- My neighbor knows I have this and has asked me to cut up his branches several times. 🤣Overall, I am very happy with the purchase. I did not want a big chainsaw to lug around and maintain, and this fits my needs perfectly.One piece of guidance: wear the safety glasses when using this.”

Customer Review: “This little powerhouse got the job done easily. Nashville had an ice storm. Tree limbs everywhere. I ordered this little jewel and I was able to cut most of the fallen limbs and branches. My grown grandson finished the job and was very pleased. He said like it was slicing butter. The battery stayed full with many hours of use.I will use a lot to trim and thin the fruit trees and all the other branches.”

Customer Review: “This thing is excellent, I was skeptical that it would do much but with the larger 10 AH batteries it cuts anything my gas chainsaw will, and it came with four blades two of each size. The chain oiler works good and I add a couple drops of STP to cut drag as much as possible. Very convenient for maintaining a place in the country without having to drag the gas saw out.”

Customer Review: “This cordless electric chainsaw gets five stars because it is very powerful and easy to use, making cutting trees, branches, and firewood much faster and smoother than I expected, since the brushless motor gives strong speed and does not overheat even after long use, and the auto-oiling system keeps the chain lubricated without stopping, which makes cutting safer and protects the chain and guide bar, while the 2-in-1 12-inch and 16-inch chains are great for different types of jobs, and having two extra chains ready is really convenient, so I don’t have to worry about downtime, and the tool-free chain tensioner makes adjusting the chain super easy and fast, which is perfect for beginners or anyone who does not want to deal with complicated setup, while the safety features, including the rapid-stop brake and dual safety system, make it feel very secure during use, and the whole saw is lightweight and cordless, so it is easy to move around the yard and reach different areas without dragging cords, while durability feels strong and the materials look solid for long-term use, and for the price it feels like a very good value because it combines high power, safety, convenience, and flexibility in one tool, overall it is very functional, easy to use, safe, and a great addition for anyone needing a reliable chainsaw.”

Customer Review: “The media could not be loaded. This 16” saw arrived well packaged and undamaged. Assembly was minimal, very easy, and straightforward. Along with the saw, the package included two chains, a small bottle for chain oil, and a manual for saw assembly and maintenance. There was also a quick start guide for assembly and adjustment. The guide is made of durable material and fits easily in the pocket. I believe it is designed to be taken to the job site for reference if needed.The saw feels lighter than a gas powered saw of similar size along with being much quieter. The saw appears to be well-made and durable. I’m using 2 5ah aftermarket DeWalt compatible batteries to power the saw. Installation of the batteries is simple. The chain tension was simple to adjust and required no tools.The saw had no problem cutting the white oak tree trunk line on the ground. The saw was easy to handle and performed well. All of the cuts seen the video were made with one set of batteries.I’m very satisfied with this purchase. I believe I received a good tool at an excellent price!”

Customer Review: “The media could not be loaded. This is a quality chain saw. It was very simple to put together and took about 10 minutes . After inital chain installation the 2nd time should go much faster.Overall, it cut with ease, the auto oiler works very well. During use, it feels well balanced being sturdy and the safety and trigger both work very good.The power is sufficient and wouldn’t hesitate to cut larger pieces in better weather conditions. I was also impressed how long the batteries lastIt also has a nice saftey cover that makes it easy to store. After years of using a name brand, this is just as comparable and its a great saw!”

Customer Review: “I’m really impressed with how well this chainsaw performs. I own a 16” Stihl chainsaw that I’ve used for over 20 years and thought it wouldn’t be possible for an electric saw to be so comparable. The ego 16” has such impressive power and speed even through hardwoods. I was skeptical at first, but this saw did not disappoint. It’s really nice to use this saw in the backyard to make quick work of any wood cutting you may encounter. I wouldn’t hesitate to use this saw in the woods neither.. The battery life is really good and it is up to the task of any big wood cutting project. As a long time gas chainsaw user I would highly recommend this EGO saw for anyone looking to try out the electric version. I really like the fact you don’t have to worry about mixing oil and gas and then having to use fuel stabilizers for unused gas. I do love the sound of a roaring gas saw ripping through trees, but you know technology keeps evolving and our planet is better off for it. I’ll stop there before I upset anyone. Go ahead give this saw a try, I think he likes it Mikey.”

Customer Review: “Bought this because I’m tired of mixing gas and oil, using a tankful and having so much mixed unused gasoline leftover in the garage. This EGO chainsaw is quiet, efficient and slices through firewood and small tree limbs like butter. I figure the battery will last about 1 hour of constant cutting. I cut 3 wheel barrows of wood in 30 minutes of less. I like the design of the saw. Chain adjustment is quick and easy and good value for the money. Oh, and the chain lube tank doesn’t leak like gas-powered chainsaws-a big plus! I highly recommend! I haven’t used my gas-powered chainsaw since buying this tool. I will probably sell my gas chainsaw in the Spring.”

Customer Review: “Haven’t used the saw but a few times and it worked great but i have used the batteries many times in my Dewalt tools and they are awesome.”

Customer Review: “For a battery operated chain saw. It works great. I’m elderly and able to cut up trees without any help”
