5 star superb
I was going to buy a cheaper black and decker , but review said good but needs an Oregon chain , which made me think why not buy an Oregon , this saw is a belter probably more powerful than my petrol husky , out of box assembled and oiled in seconds , bought to save upsetting the neighbours as I have a lot of wood to cut at home . Solid , confidence inspiring piece of kit and 3 year warranty , couldn’t recommend more .
I’ve been cutting logs for over 45 years .
Powerful chain saw.
Brilliant bit of kit, found no problems with assembly and with a nice long power cable.
Great Saw
I first bought a “Titan” chainsaw seemed to work okay for a while but motor burned out in the end doing simple tasks like cutting the odd 4/5″ log.
The Oregon chainsaw however is a different beast unlike the Titan the chain is easy to to keep adjusted and cuts through wood easily it has more power than the Titan and the cord is extra long. Great saw for the money!

Very powerful and easy to use
This saw is very well designed with very easy chain adjustment. The supplied chain cuts through large trees in seconds. The addition of a safety brake is very welcome. A delight to own and use.

Nice little chainsaw does the job
Brilliant cuts through wood easily
After awhile it does get heavy but it does the job, not really noisy
Excellent quality tough machine
Out performs my petrol chainsaw, it’s quite and just as powerful , no kickback and the oragon chain is quality like knife through butter has all the safety features you need just remember to keep it topped up with chain oil superb piece of ki

This arrived today took about ten mins to assemble filled the oil tank and fitted it to the clamp on my saw horse plugged it in and tried it out, bags of power and sliced through the slabs I use for firewood with no problem. After 56 years of using petrol chainsaws with all the noise and fumes , this saw is the future for me, in fact I’m so impressed I’m considering buying one of their cordless models to use in the woods next to my house.
Nicely made and very powerful
I had a black and decker electric chainsaw years ago and this one is a revelation. So much more powerfully and sturdilly made, for about the same money.
I find electric chainsaws much safer than petrol, only running while you squeeze both triggers.

Looks good,leaks oil when no in use but otherwise okay
Good but a little heavy
Surprisingly a very powerful and very sharp product. I just cut the tops off my conifer trees, cut through it like a hot knife going through butter. I found it a little heavy when holding it up the ladder and found myself having to keep climbing back down to rest a moment before starting but overall I am very pleased with this item

Good
I bought this machine by accident!
I wanted the freedom of a cordless, but Amazon did not accept my selection to survey, the photo did not show the cord, and I did not read the description properly!
In spite of that, I am happy with this m/c. I assembled it reasonably easily, and it does a good job of cutting up my waste wood. It is the first chainsaw I have ever used, so I do not think I can really give a good review-y verdict, but it is fine for what I wanted, and I would recommend for a beginner.
Served the purpose, cuts smoothly through quite large branches, needs oil
Oil has to be ordered separately. We didn’t realise so our planned work in the garden had to be postponed until the oil arrived.
It was heavier than expected and we found it fiddly to assemble. We turned to a YouTube video for help.
Once assembled and oiled, the cutting back of branches was very easy and fast.
Like a hot knife through butter.
Purchased this to take down a couple of smallish trees in the garden. Fitting the chain was a bit fiddly but generally assembly was straight forward. Topped up the oil, a quick test to make sure it was all working and we were good to go. This chainsaw made quick and easy work of the apple tree “like a hot knife through butter”. Will be trying it on slightly larger cherry tree next but so far so good.

Safety and well made
I bought this saw to use in a garage and a lot less noise and pollution than my petrol one!!!
But really good quality I would recommend anyone to buy one i bought this one to cut sleepers for a flower bed and I am really pleased with the performance.

OREGON CS1400 2400 W Electric Chainsaw
Comes with long lead.
Heavy if you are doing a lot of work.
Easy to use and powerful for the price
Does what a chainsaw should do. Its quite hefty and more powerful than I expected an electric saw to be, especially one at this price.
The tool free adjustment is a Godsend, no more faffing about to make adjustments – loosening or tightening is a cinch.
The instructions for assembly could be a little easier to follow, but they’re not too bad. Just remember to loosen the chain guide bar when putting the chain on! Theres 30 minutes i won’t get back
Excellent chainsaw, despite iffy quality control
The bar arrived incorrectly assembled; with the tensioner pulley fitted upside down and fitting screw firmly welded in place with thread lock. This took a lot of effort to remove, and I’m a reasonably big bloke. On removal, a tiny rubber washer, described by the user manual as “mandatory”, pinged off and went missing, fortunately found 15 minutes later.
Once this palaver was finally sorted out, the chainsaw seems substantially better constructed and nicer handling than the five year old Hyundai electric chainsaw it replaced, which had suffered an oil pump failure.
Would be five stars, were it not supplied with a misassembled bar.
A follow up comment after several hours of use: The lock handle on the chain tensioner is nearly always very stiff to undo, and I’m not over-tightening it. Sometimes I need to use a second hand to assist in undoing it. You should untension the chain before putting a chainsaw away, so this is effectively once per use. If you’re of, erm, “inappropriate stature or gender”, I wouldn’t recommend this chainsaw.
Oregon Elctric chain saw
Very Pleased with the speed it was delivered.I am very pleased with it and wish I had bought an electric chain saw long ago.The tension adjust on the chain is much easier to adjust than my perol saws and I don’t have a lengthy time trying to get my petrol ones to start. a very good buy.

A smart piece of ki
A good solid piece of equipment well made and easy to assemble. I like the fact that it is surprisingly quiet for a chainsaw. I like too the self-lubricating mechanism, just remember to check the reservoir now and again while using it for any period of time. It has certainly speeded up pruning the trees in the garden.

On a cold afternoon around a firepit this saw produced a barrow full of logs in 15 minutes. Really sharp, very powerfull and chain stops the instant the trigger is released. Thankfully, no more wasted time and puffing to pull start an petrol chainsaw. So long as task is within range of an extension lead, I would never go back to petrol. Much better option than a battery version and more powerful.
Brillia
Just a great bit of kit, really long lead which i like & easy to use. I would definatly get another one !!
Powerful enough for most around the garden jobs.
Very impressed made light work of a tree I had been needing to take down for a long time. Fast, efficient and easy to use. Cut through was like going through butter. Highly recommended.
Purchased for cutting up logs, which is does extremely well. 3.6 cubic metre log pile produed over four days is testament to that. There is only one fault in the design and that is the oil tank level inspection window, which was obviously conceived by someone, who was moonlighting from his day job at a chocolate teapot factory The window is virtually opaque and the oil level is hardly distinguishable.
Good value for money
In a word “Ideal” I bought this on the recommendation of a previous post I have never been a big fan of electrical heavy duty Garden equipment but this has changed my mind easy to assemble and did exactly what I wanted, all I did was press a button and I was off much to the relief of my arthritic shoulder would I recommend this, “YES” “” as a foot note be warned they don’t put a bottle of lubricant in with it so you have to buy that separately, bit of a cheap shot I thought, still you can’t have everything
Did some work on my neighbours trees during lock down and never having owned a chainsaw needed a reasonably priced and decent chainsaw without becoming a professional tree surgeon. This electric chainsaw from oregon was perfect. Powerful enough to chop trees with 12 in girth as in the picture and great to use with appropriate safety features. Getting the chain on is a bit of a struggle but plenty of help in the qna section. It’s reasonably heavy, but not unmanageable.
Great piece of ki
Boy, does this work. Easy to assemble. Easy to understand. Bear in mind that’s it’s a lethal piece of kit and has to handled with extreme care, but it does the job for the home pruner. Follow the full instructions about keeping the chain sharp, and maintaining the tension and you have a great piece of kit.

Oregon Electric Chainsaw
Makes sawing logs up so easy & quick. Very easy to operate. Very powerful. Will buy same again from Amazon.
Very pleased with this saw
Next day delivery, easy to assemble, cutting logs within 20 minutes of opening the box. Impressed with the quality. No chain saw oil included so don’t forget to purchase separately. I thought the instructions were very comprehensive but many of the steps had already been completed during manafacture. All you have to do is fill it with oil, fit the guide bar and chain, click up the tensioner, replace the side cover and off you go.

Quiet, easy to use electric chainsaw.
Easy to put together (all you have to do is put the chain on). Remember to fill it with chain oil (not supplied). Easy and quiet to use. A great product, for garden and other light use. Makes light work of small trees, old fence posts etc. I like this chainsaw. A lot less faff and a lot less noise than a petrol chainsaw.

Found difficult to assemble with no previous knowledge So not used as yet.
Great value
Well, you can knock me down, step in my face
Slander my name all over the place
Do anything that you wanna do
But uh-uh honey, lay off of my Oregon Chainsaw
Great product. Easy to assemble and set up
Punches well above its weight.
Very poor and misleading instructions for set up. Once set up a very good saw, punches well above its weight.
Great value and easy to use
Having researched for a while, this item came top of the list for value and ease of assembly/use. It took 20mins to assemble, very clear instructions, make sure you purchase oil at the same time! It’s done almost three hours of chopping up ash logs today, 30cm diameter, and it’s not missed a beat. It uses quite a lot of oil (needed topping up half way through) but I’m sure they all do. If you need something that’s good value for occasional tree chopping you can’t go wrong with this. It’s paid itself back in a day compared to buying chopped logs.
Great produc
Excellent product, very good value, easy to use and very good instructions on how to assemble
I Used for years petrol saw, but time & time again saw would stop many reasons. This electric saw great design the ease of stop & start wonderful & removed endless arm pull up & down referernce petrol, Good cutting action cuts easy through 4/6: Tree branch & dose so many hours prior to re/oil & chain sharpen all easy. This saw is not light weight can cut through branches just leaving saw weight over branch & guide. house wife or lady may find a little heavey But does a good job.

Does the job well but chain needs to be at right tension to work well.
Early days but impressed so far!
Early days for any gadget like this, but it does the job surprisingly well as long as you observe the operating instructions and proceed at a sensible pace. Recommended on use so far.

Good bit of ki
Well made plenty of torque but not to heavy lovely to use
Great Chainsaw
Bought this for general garden work, can’t believe how easy it rips through 8 inch logs.
Very impressive for a small electric chain saw.
Really does the job well and good value. A little heavy. One part of the assembly instructions was misleading and talks about a rubber seal being in place. This is already assembled and I’d advise not checking as it was a pain to do the part up again. Also putting the oil in was awkward as at a strange angle but not impossible, just messy. So far it’s taken down a number of trees and reduced the large trunks into smaller logs easily. Great purchase
great does the job
best electric saw i have used when cutting trees for the garden i recommend anyone doing their own garden who has a lot of trees to get this.
Good quality produc
I was lucky to get it at a fantastic price, neighbour cut some trees down with it, he said it was perfect for the job
Works like a dream
Despite all the negative reviews, this worked like a dream slicing through tress like water. I initially got the chain on in the wrong direction and was initially disappointed when it started bouncing of the trees. But I reviewed the instructions and realised I got the chin on in the wrong direction, even though it was very hard to see I got it on wrong. Nonetheless, I reversed the chain and it worked like a dream. More so it is value for money and the risk I took despite some negative reviews was well worth taking.
Great electric chainsaw
I cut and split all my own logs, so ordered this for home cutting so as not too disturb the neighbors too much. Used for the first time this weekend.
Positives; easy to assemble, chain brake is fantastic and quick, easy to handle, long heavy duty cable; chain stayed well tensioned through a couple of hours work
Negative; the oil window is opaque, so difficult to see how much is left.
Chainsaw
Had 12 medium size trees to cut down. Chainsaw handled the job perfectly and with ease. Only criticism is that the blades are now blunt and need replacing hoped they would last longer.

This was brilliant. It was easy enough to assemble once I’d read the instructions. It cut through my apple tree really easily and then was great for chopping the trunk down to manageable sized logs.

Solid product, Low Price
Good solid product at low price point. Easy to use and assemble with good safety features, plenty of power too for some quite hefty logs/stumps I had to cut.
Easy to assemble was up and cutting within 10 minutes of coming out of the box.
I is a very powerful beast that eats through logs up to 8 inches in diameter (that’s what I was cutting I’m sure it would eat through larger logs).
First outing yesterday, spending the morning today logging for the coming winter as it was quite a relaxing task, very little noise or vibration.
[IT DOES NOT COME WITH OIL] – However I had bought some at the same time.
It does not come with a sharpening / maintenance kit. I ordered one this morning, now for a coffee and back to work on the pile of logs
Jim
Buy oil and spare chain at the same time !
Perfect , not easy to find new chain used to cut two tonne of wood into logs , not at all noisy
Product arrived earlier than stated which was good. Unpacking went well, thought I’d made a point of reading the manual. With oil tank filled went to start it… nothing.. tried another outlet.. nothing.. pretty grumpy went through the return procedure even as far as printing the label.. A thought, re-re-read the manual.. the chain brake was on. Worth noting… After that, plain sailing. The chain tensioner works well, as does the saw. Honestly a little heavier than I’d expected, however ideal for the woodhsed duties I purchased it for..
Removed hedge with ease
Why did we plant 30 feet of Leylandi 30 years ago.
Having decided it had to go I probably spent longer on you Tube watching videos about chainsaw use and safety than I did cutting down the hedge.
I’d rate this a useful garden tool and I had no issues in its use.

Sturdy chain saw with sufficient power and cutting ability. Easy to use with care.
Suitable for current garden project, good power and cutting edge. Well made and has useful 6m heavy duty length cable.
Keep cleaning out sawdust from chain casing regularly to avoid any clogging. Remember to purchase sufficient chain oil and keep your eye on level indicator as it uses quite a bit after several heavy cuts.
Also purchased a replacement chain for future use.

Easy to assemble and a dream to use
Absolutely amazing chainsaw! It is like cutting through butter with a hot sharp knife. Love it, and look forward to years of use..
EXCELLENT VALUE.
Is good and sturdy and powerful. Delivered one day late? but delivered one day earlier than messaged to me!! Either way who cares I’ve got it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Order chain oil at the same time.
Works really well, don’t forget to order chain oil, I used it for a very thick hedge approx 2 inch diameter branches and was like a knife through butter.
Very impressed.
I can’t give this enough stars.very,very pleased.Cuts through logs like a dream.Would recommend to anyone who has trees or large logs that need cutting.
Great saw, poor instructions
Great chainsaw, but 2 negatives to be aware of: 1) You must buy oil separately as it comes with none. 2) The instructions are not great, and include steps that have already been done / don’t exist. Expect assembly to be frustrating and take hours if you’re not particularly savvy.

Easy to use and saved me trying to saw branches
Great quality chainsaw.
My first chainsaw and works brilliantly. Great build quality and very sturdy! Highly recommended.
Brilliant chainsaw for home use and safety features are spot on.
Supurb chainsaw for small and large logs. Bought this to chop the logs I bring back from the woods so that I’m not over usingy petrol one, didn’t think it would be much good but after using it a few times have realised it’s brilliant. Definitely recommended.

Before you buy
Looks great but needs chainsaw oil to use and doesn’t come with any ? Why the hell not ??
Like sending out without a plug but I could get a plug from anywhere unlike chainsaw oil

I have 2 petrol chainsaws and they’re a little temperamental. I chose an electric to use from the garage to cut up smaller items. Wow was I surprised. Great tool and no difference between petrol and electric. When trigger stops teeth stop.great safety precautions. Just need chain oil. Great item
The parcel arrived & within thirty minutes the instructions read, the chain on and the tree down. Well impressed with this chainsaw. I’ve never used one before & this was so easy to mount and use.
Good solid does the job. Easy to use but just make sure you have the chain on the right way round. Instructions aren’t that clear. Once on – it cuts like a hot knife through butter.

Nice and powerful saw. I prefer using an electric chainsaw when cutting logs in the garden as it’s not as loud as a petrol one (keep the neighbours happy) plus I don’t have to keep filling it with petrol. This model is easily as powerful as all but the largest of petrol saws and slices through large oak logs with ease with no apparent stress on the motor.
After a long delay I have finally got round to trying out this very useful tool. My house has a wood at the bottom of the garden and every year branches on some of the trees need trimming back and up to now I’ve made do with a bow saw and a lot of effort. However, I now have this and a job that would take a couple of days each year is now done in a matter of minutes. It effortlessly cuts through wood from small trees and branches up to 4″ diameter as though they were made of paper. It also allows for precision cutting to make sure the job is done neatly and the damage to the tree is minimal.
I’ve also used the chainsaw at my mum’s house to bring down a 20 foot ash tree that was dangerously leaning over and at risk of damaging the house. I didn’t bring down the tree in one action but in smaller sections so that I had more control over where it landed. The main trunk of the tree was about 12″ in diameter and while it was more work for the saw, it soon did it. It took a while to log it (about 3 hours at a leisurely pace), but it would have taken much longer if I had use more traditional methods and would have been a serious undertaking over many days. I have a dead tree at the end of the drive and while it does not need to come down yet, one day it will and I feel confident enough to do it myself.
Easy to clean and maintain and coped with all of the modest jobs I wanted it to do. I can’t comment on how it might cope with more challenging tasks involving bigger trees, but in all honesty I would probably have used a professional for that anyway. Consequently, I think this is more suited domestic use rather than as a commercial option, but it does exactly what I need it to do.
I was replacing a petrol chainsaw so was a bit reluctant whether this would have enough power.
It has handled with ease everything I have thrown at it so far. I have felled a 30 foot tree and topped/thinned a number of other trees.
I have been using it all day for the past 4 days on heavy duty work and it has been brilliant.
So far no complaints at all. I would thoroughly recommend it.
Excellent electric chainsaw, fabulous value for money
This chainsaw is strong and sturdy beyond its price point. Easy to adjust chain tension without tools, and chain stops instantly when releasing the trigger. The long cable lets you plug straight into your cable drum with no intermediary extension needed. Highly recommended.
For an electric type this is pretty decent. Enough power for cutting, up to present, through ash logs 30″ dia and even vertical cuts up to 18″. Pine also up to about 10″. No kick-back and has a feeling of being under control during use, unlike some models which feel as if they’re not only underpowered but might get away at any moment. Pretty smooth action.
Knocked a star off because the instructions are really poor and it was necessary to look online for info on how to assemble. Also the chain needs frequent tightening.
Those points aside this is a good piece of kit which will do the job required.
I’ve always had petrol chainsaws up to now but with advancing age and arthritis, starting petrol engines is sometimes a bit of an issue nowadays. An electric machine can’t give you the same flexibility or power of course but – for the price – this is a good utility saw for medium to light logging with excellent safety features. I had no problems assembling it and it is easy to use and maintain. Tensioning the chain is really simple thanks to some excellent design. It will never replace a petrol saw but at the risk of making a slightly silly statement it is good at what it is good at and a very practical machine.!
Really well buil
Wow, really good quality. Haven’t had an opportunity to use it much yet. However this will sure be a good investment.
Cutting edge
Used three times and it does the job very well
Bought to chop a load of oak for the winter. You won’t get through proper solid oak without a chainsaw. This did exactly what I needed. The chain did blunt like many people said but part of owning and maintaining a chainsaw is regularly sharpening the chain. Luckily here in France you’re spoilt for choice as I live in the forestry capital of the haute vienne. Anyway works great and hasn’t given me any issues at all.
Great little saw. Bought to saw up a lot of wood that had been hanging around for ages. It did the job very quickly, Like a knife through butter. Easy to assemble.
othing but good to say
owned a lot of chain saws without doubt this is the best and value
Good buy
It’s very efficient and powerful. It’s good for amateur garden clearing.
used this to cut up some trees at the bottom of my garden
was easy to use and very capable was impressed for the money
would recommend this saw
This is a very nice little example of the classic chainsaw. it’s pretty lightweight, it’s easy to manoeuvre, it;s corded so you won;t be able to go roaming around the woods with it, which is probably a good thing. Dealt with the overhanging branches of a troublesome tree at he back of my house with no problems at all. Two neighbours have already asked me where I got it from. Jealous much? Please chainsaw responsibly.
Having had to clear a garden with about 50 overgrown conifer trees (we all know the problem) I wish I’d have had this chainsaw instead of the ones I bought years ago. Why?
First thing to say, is there’s no magic about doing the cutting so any saw with a powerful enough motor and a new (or sharpened) chain will do the business. The size of the blade will determine how big a trunk it will cut so all of that is easy for the first time buyer to decide.
If you have not used a saw before like this then safety is number one priority and in order for that to be done easily, you need to be able to maintain the condition of the chain and be able to clean it properly. My old chainsaw was incredibly fiddly to do this due to the way the chain and its guide were attached to the motor gears. It was a balancing act stopping the chain falling off while the cover was screwed back on. Tensioning via a screw arrangement was unsatisfactory.
This one as you will notice has an external dial for doing this. Even if you do not want this saw, buy one with this arrangement. Mounting and tensioning the chain is an absolute doddle making it safe to use. The item comes unassembled so you need to do this. The cover is unscrewed and the guide put in place. Even without the cover on, you can turn the wheel on the bar so as to get the required length more or less correct before putting the cover on. Of course, the chain only cuts in one direction so you need to have that right. Put the cover back on, turn the outer dial until the chain is at the correct tension, tighten the centre dial and that’s it. Excellent.
This device has a brake on it but also unlike my other chainsaw, as soon as you release the power button, the chain stops before the motor has come to a stop. Another very good idea in my opinion.
It has a good strong power cable that won’t twist or curl – again important. It is a little bit on the heavy side but nothing to be concerned about. Well thought out. As for longevity, clearly, I am unable to comment but it has a 3yr warranty so that tells us something.
