Good power for electric chainsaw
Good power and good price ok it’s not petrol and you need to plug in, but has a decent length power lead and the supplied chain came nice and sharp.
Powerful electric chainsaw
Well balanced chainsaw. Very effective chain brake which quickly halts chain rotation on releasing of on off switch. Cut through felled 20 inch diameter silver birch trunk with power to spare.

I bought the chainsaw to cut large overhanging branches in my garden and saw up some logs. It cuts effortlessly clean and straight. The chain is easy to tighten ect. I am a disabled person but find I can use this chainsaw , the safety goggles fit over my specs so a bonus. I really would recommend this chainsaw over some more than twice the price. Excellent product & easy to handle/use.
Perfect for the job I purchased fo
Bought to cut down some branches that I had acquired.
Learning to woodturn, and was given 4 large branches, this chainsaw made light work of cutting them down to usable sizes. Easy to use.
Took me a couple of attempts to assemble but found thats much easier with 2 people just to make sure things are in place before tightening.
I would recommend, cable is a decent length and it’s not overly heavy to hold / use
So much better than Petrol
My third petrol chainsaw refused to start and I was fed up with repairing it. So I researched electric versions and found an online review highly recommending this model, saying it was his day to day machine.
Amazed at the price, I went for it. I have cut up a winters supply of logs with it already and it has never missed a beat. Two things that impress me the most, first is the instant stop, a great feature, as chainsaws are very dangerous beasts. Secondly is the power, the two stroke used to falter, this does not, it just powers on. And thirdly (I know I said two things), no messing with petrol, two stoke oil, running out of fuel, just a heavy duty extension lead is requited (it is 2KW after all).
For the portable jobs, I have invested in a 30cm brushless battery Ryobi chainsaw. I do the cutting with this, and drag the wood for the mains variant to log … works for me.
Very impressed with this, the plastics make it look like a toy, which it certainly is not.
Final point, so worrying reviews about chains coming off the bar and chains breaking. Chainsaws are very very dangerous, do some reading and learning about checks, usage and maintenance before starting off. I am constantly, checking tension, sharpening and topping up the oil and never had a problem.
- A Great Chainsaw -
If you need a reasonably priced chainsaw without any doubt I would recommend this Einhell GH-EC 2040 Electric Chainsaw.
Super simple to set up (with NO tools) really easy to use and very sharp.
It feels very solid in the hands with no flimsiness, just remember to adjust the chain regularly especially when new and use proper chain saw oil and I’m sure this saw will give years of useful service.
I am very pleased with my purchase.
Great chainsaw
I’ve had a chainsaw before and didn’t need to follow the instructions as I am competent to put it together without instructions. The chainsaw is great and made light work of tree removal. Just remember you need chainsaw oil. 5 sta
I’ve taken down 2 trees with it so far and not had any issues. I was a bit apprehensive because of some of the other reviews, but the chain is great and the whole machine cuts through trunks and branches easily. Don’t forget to add Chainsaw Chain Oil to your order too, you have to fill up the tank before you start using it.
What a great bit of kit I was worried about quality before I bought this saw but totally unfounded. After I assembled it I set about cutting up a tree trunk I had been given, this saw went through it like butter at this price I would recommend this to anyone
For the price this is a really good chainsaw.
I have used it to cut logs, branches etc and has cut really well. As long as your expectations are not too high, it’s definitely worth the money.
Shame you have to buy oil before you start be a nice touch to have a small bottle to get you started.
Instructions were good, I made sure to read them slowly and throughly for obvious reasons. I got the chain on ok, I made sure the tension was right, added the oil to the reservoir. Got to cut my first branch and it was incredibly hard work. The next one during the cut the saw started to smell and smoke. The wife told me to put more effort into it! I told her I’d watched videos and it shouldn’t be this hard, something was wrong I looked at the blade that the chain was wrapped around and noticed a very small indicator that enlightened me to realise the chain was on the wrong way around. The silver cutters in the chain needed to face away from the device at the top and towards the device at the bottom. After the switch the chainsaw cut through the branches and trunk like a hot knife through butter! Small conifer felled in around 30 mins! I note many 1 stars reviews have probably been due to the chain on the wrong way. Great product!
Bought one of these to cut up logs in my garden. Was a little hesitant but the machine does cut very nicely. My only issue is that it is easy for the oil lubrication system to get blocked and so every 20 minutes or so I have to check the chain and sometimes disassemble and clean before proceeding. I plan to sharpen after every 1 hour session.
Continued to cut up quite a few trees now, all with the original chain. The saw behaves quite well. After each 2-hour session I give the chain 4 or 5 licks of the file to sharpen, followed removing it for a clean, and then leaving it dis-assembled to soak in a tub of chain saw oil until needed.
I looked at hiring a chainsaw to take down 3 20ft trees in the back garden, but had a quick look on here and this worked out cheaper.
Very easy to assemble, first undo the outer housing by unwinding the wheel, then back the chain tensioner off as far as it will go, then fit the chain and bar (making sure you get the chain the correct way, there is an indepth book with it also), there is a locating lug on the body which helps line up the bar, then fit the outer casing back on and adjust the tensioner wheel making sure you leave the smallest amount of play.
Don’t worry about buying separate chain oil, i put some 5w/30 engine oil in and did the job fine.
What i would advise is after a few cuts, tighten the chain again by pushing the adjustment wheel down to the + symbol.
More than enough power, had the trees down in a few minutes, then after doing the typical bloke bit standing there, foot on the trunk admiring my achievement !!! proceeded to spend the rest of the morning cutting them into logs for the wood burner.
If you want a chainsaw, will use it a couple of days then probably never need it again like me, then this is a belting bit of kit for the money.
Next doors trees look like they need a bit of trimming now 🙂
I bought this as it was cheaper to buy outright than to hire one for the day. It arrived quickly, well packaged. It was a little fiddly to get the chain on properly, and, although great value, it wouldn’t have hurt to have included some oil. As it was, I used olive oil, as this was recommended elsewhere. This isn’t light! But I needed to chop down a palm tree that had suffered weather damage. Took me all of 10 minutes to remove the branches, and cut the trunk down into log sized chunks to be dried and used as bbq fuel in the summer. Went like a hot knife through butter. It may not be able to withstand industrial use, but for occasional cutting this is a fantastic addition to my tools.
I bought this saw to cut down a 60 year old Apple tree in my daughters small garden, never used one before but I know how dangerous they can be so I was very careful using it.
I found it cut through the tree with ease you don’t have to put pressure on the blade for it to go through the wood just the weight of the saw is enough, make sure you read and understand how to set it up and check the chain tension now and again as you use it, all in all a great product and I would defiantly recommend it.
I have never owned or used a chainsaw before and needed to remove (fell and dispose) 8 over-grown conifer trees. I was going to purchase a Bosch unit as I have always used Bosch power-tools, however, I spotted this for more than half the price and decided to take a punt. It performed brilliantly and delivered everything I asked of it. The only time it failed (chain jumped off) was because I didn’t read the instructions properly and hadn’t set the chain tension correctly. I would highly recommend this unit for general home garden maintenance.
Awsome little chain saw
Bought to tame a very substantial garden with a lot of lopping to do.
So far it has made large jobs easy and fast, cuts like a knife through butter.
I have had no issues with chain adjustment so far.
Lots of tree trimming and log cutting done with no problem.
I rate this little saw, it’s easier than messing arround with a petrol engine, just be aware of the power cord at
all times and buy the correct safety equipment – I doubt you will be dissapointed.
This is better than I could have imagined
Cut wood logs like butter
Easy to set up and use
Felled 2 trees and cut in to logs and still going strong. Trunks were 12inch plus diameter, not a problem for this saw. Just a DIY job but more than good enough, really pleased with it.
Very good
Powerful enough and very easy to setup. Enjoyable piece of kit. Long power cord which is useful
Lightweight and easy to use
Brought as a Christmas present and he loves it, lightweight and easy to use, stops instantly when removed finger from the trigger, chops through logs and branches easily, best chainsaw we’ve used
Just add oil and power.
I’ve had this for a while now and it’s made easy work of the tree that came down earlier this year.
An excellent chainsaw loads of power stops very fast, no overrunning of the chain. Light in use. Very long lead. I would recommend this saw to anyone that is looking for that home use saw
