Little bit fiddley at first getting the chain rite but once sorted brilliant cuts through the conifer trees like butter managed to cut 12ft off them so a bargain when you think the prices quoted to cut them off companies
Ive never owned a chain saw before, but I did quite a bit of research before choosing this one. Ive used it today sawing logs for firewood, and I’m really happy how easy it was to use.
Easy to put together,easy to use and great price
The chain saw is nice and good value for money, however I used it once. The 2nd time I wanted to use it again it will not work at all. I’m very unhappy about this and at this moment in time wouldn’t recommend this item to anyone

Easy to set up and a good size but the weight is putting me off. I’m sure I won’t need the gym after using this chainsaw, it’s surprisingly heavy
This chainsaw is fab value for money . It made short work of a 40ft conifer tree and was so easy to use.
Bought to replace old B & D refurbished chain saw which has given many years of good service. It is full of safety Feature not on my old one. Which make it easier to use . ie It stops immedietly if the chain jams or breaks ect. I like it but still use it with proper equiptment and safe guardes.
lnstructions not instantly easy to follow and do need to be read a few times. That said, once assembled the chainsaw worked perfectly and so far, has cut through branches and trunks with ease. Very happy with my purchase. Remember to purchase oil separately.

It’s more powerful than I was expecting. It’s a lovely and smooth ‘saw, and as safe to use as any other ‘saw. Near instantaneous stop when trigger is let go. Perfect for an occasional user like me.
Bought for my husband to cut down some large bushes in our garden. He has used petrol chainsaws in the past and says this is much easier to use. Obviously needs a power source, but if it’s for cutting logs in your garden or garden maintenance it’s ideal. Easy to follow instructions provided. He was dubious about it when I purchased it as he felt it would not be up to the job, he was pleasantly surprised when it arrived as it was a better quality than he expected for the price.
Used for my railway sleeper project. Sliced through the sleeper no issue. Powerful bit smooth. Very happy with it.
This is a replacement for an old B & D Chainsaw, chose this as it was the same size and wattage, ordered 3pm and it was delivered 1pm the next day, that’s great service, chainsaw works fine and it was a great price, cheaper than the equivalent chainsaw purchased 7 years ago.

It took me a little while to figure out how to put the chainsaw on. I havent owned a chainsaw before and the instructions weren’t of much help so i watched a YouTube video on chain replacement and then it was simple. No oil comes with this (and i figured as much) so I ordered oil (Oregon chainsaw oil) around the same time. Luckily i did as the saw guzzles oil. I have to saw though that it has already done what i got it for and now i am chopping up blocks of wood
Those is a great chainsaw for domestic use. Having previously used a petrol chainsaw this is so much less hassle, and will never go back to petrol saws again.
Chain was a bit difficult to fit initially, instructions aren’t that great but not enough to be a significant problem.
Once the chain was fitted and oil added you are ready to go. Simple to use, stops immediately when finished cutting, adding the right tension to the chain incredibly easy and visible oil level hugely helpful as it does use more than you think, although not too much to be a problem.
I used it to cut through 20 or 30 large sections of tree trunk up to 35 cm diameter, including yew which is hard wood and it did it with ease, plenty of power without the fuss of a petrol saw. Would recommend using a log stand if doing that much, less strain all round, filled my log store in no time.
Overall, a great produc
This is my second one after the first one gave up the ghost after 7 years heavy use. Used it on all types and diameters of wood… softwood to hardwoods, branches to 2 foot diameter. Use an Echo in the field and this black and decker electrical out back of the house. Had done a great job on tonnes and tonnes of wood and for <100 has saved me thousands

With the length of the blade i managed to cut down and log 7 pine trees about 30 feet high without missing a beat, with trunks varying from 20cm to 30cm, the most impressive part was digging up the root a bit and cutting it below the excavated ground where it was close to 40-50cm – again no issues.
The motor never got hot, it drank barely any oil for the whole job (1 tanks worth) and the blade was still sharp to go through the various branches etc that couldnt go through my little electric chipper.
It cut through several small trees, with a diameter of approx 5 inches, without any problem. Would highly recommend.
Received today but no written instructions on such a potentially dangerous item!! The diagrams received were ambiguous, to say the least.
Not a good start.
The chainsaw itself is good but I was disappointed with the delivery. I bought through prime and was quoted next day. Planned around that and it didn’t arrive
Great chain saw quiet powerful lot easer to use and lighter than a petrol saw
bought one secondhand,it was useless.I replaced the chain,which I was told was almost new,and its brilliant,15secsto cut thru 12in tree stumps.Quiet and powerful.Cut thru about 20 stumps and chain looks good as new.
I wish I’d gone electric sooner. Holding back on 5th star until it’s had some more use
Great chainsaw but the instructions are rubbish and placing the chain on can be difficult.
Ordered this machine on Thursday, got it the next day, Good quality and well packed. Cut 4 medium trees down, logged and burnt. Theis saw is well up to the job and easy to use as long as you take note of all the safety advice. I particularly like the chain tensioning device, one of the best I’ve come accross. Regarding spare chains, you not onle require the correct size but also the pitches (62 links) must match. Amazon supplied spares for me ref no Oregon 91P 62 LINKS.you need to sharpen regularly so keep a spare.
Good product, does the job but not quite up to the standard of a petrol chainsaw, but it’s all positive with no problems.
By the way all the nonsense reviews regarding not cutting well, it’s not a toy, you have to have some idea what you are doing if you are going to use a chain saw, the chain and bar are used on many different saws worldwide with no problems.
I normally use one of 2 petrol chainsaws but chopping up logs for firewood is quite a chore with the petrol saws I have.
This is great, just plug it in and away you go.
Very good quality chain supplied – I have cut about 2 tonnes of wood so far and the chain appears as sharp as it was when it was delivered.
Hardly uses any oil and is nicely balanced.
I would recommend this chainsaw to anyone looking for an easy to use tool.
Being a ‘Domestic’ chainsaw I was initially dubious about its build quality., BUT I guess a chainsaw is not the place to skimp on safety, it’s seems well built and employs most of the features of a professional chainsaw.. At 12m/s it’s quick to cut and is far quieter than a petrol equivalent. It also sports an official Oregon bar and chain. A nice package at a reasonable price from Black and Decker.

Only issue was that the chain was blunt within 5 minutes use !
very good and exactly what was expected. For somebody who had never used a chain saw before it was easy. It is amazing how quiet it is. Highly recommended. Good value for money.
very powerful and the extra long blade makes cutting so easy
Was concerned that it wouldn’t have the power to do the job but needn’t have worried. I also have a two-stroke powered chainsaw that I use for the biggest jobs but the electric one is so much easier to set up for the shorter jobs. Its also a lot quieter so the neighbours are happier. The chain tensioner is much easier to use and a loose chain can be tightened in a couple of minutes.
Two 10m high and very broad conifers needed to come down in a very confined space in my ‘renovation’ garden. The base of the trunks were about 45cm diameter. You will see from the pictures just how much cutting was involved, and they do not show all the timber. I was quoted a considerable sum to remove the trees so invested in this unit, based on reviews and internet research, choosing electric over petrol simply because of the cleanliness and noise issue, being in a built-up area.
Assembly of the chain bar and chain to the body was quick and simple.
Compared with a petrol-powered unit, it is not as fast, but cut through heavy timber with real ease and complete confidence, including full blade cuts across the bases of the trunks once the tree was down. It is very close to the same weight as a comparable Stihl petrol unit, and comfortable in use
Even after both trees were down and the trunks cut to manageable lengths, there was no sign of slowing down or the chain needing sharpening. For this long task, the oil use was about one full tank.
The chain did need the usual early adjustment as it settled in, but no more than expected.
I have been very impressed by the power, capability and apparent build quality of this Black and Decker unit. I can recommend it with confidence, based on my experience thus far.
NB I paid full price for this item, have not received reward in any form for writing this review, and have no connection whatsoever with the manufacturer or seller.

Really good chainsaw. I had to cut down a huge dead tree in my garden so wasn’t sure if this one was up to the job. Took a chance and purchased it – I was not disappointed in it’s performance. It cut through the dead wood with absolute ease. I highly recommend this product.

Quality electric chainsaw. My only concern is that it doesn’t seem to use much chain oil. Very powerful and stops instantly once you take your finger off the trigger. This was my first chainsaw and I went with electric because of the noise of a petrol saw. I’ve been cross cutting logs at about 12″ dia, which takes a bit of time and patience, but it gets the job done.

This is an absolute beast of a chainsaw. It’s heavy but comfortable and cuts like a knife through butter. Great chainsaw.
This chainsaw is like a knife cutting through butter. I cut through a massive amount of logs with not one problem. A job that I thought was going to be a chore turned out to be quite enjoyable. A must have, fantastic product at a great price.

This electric chainsaw has an excellent chain and by far the best corded chain saw I have used. It has proved reliable, lighter and durable. It has cut down and sawn up large hard wood trees with ease. It is also lighter to use up the ladders. The availability for parts is good from the maunufacturer.

First impressions are good, easy to assemble, not too heavy to use even after a few hours of use, made light work of logs I had to cut – some up to 40cm in diameter – would recommend.
excellent product . performed well above my expectations . highly recommended 5 stars .
1 week later we have felled, and chopped up the whole thing with no hassle.
Single speed on off motor takes some getting used to but gives no issues.
Oil window not the clearest so keep it filled regularly.
Its fairly quiet and smoke free so take care as this thing is very powerful. Replacement chains are pricey so take care of it and re sharpen rather than replace.
A great machine that is built like its going to last well.

a good heavy grade piece of kit – the instant stop facility is a major safety feature
it goes through wood like a hot knife through butter!
Works a treat easy to use cable a bit of pain but so much easier and not using loads of oil and petrol like my old one its 100 times better than I thought it would be.
The saw was also effective in rip mode, cutting with the grain rather than the usual mode of cross cutting. However in rip mode the chips produced are different, being much longer slivers of timber rather than the usual small chips. These slivers got caught up in the chain drive sprocket and needed to be cleared out. I do have a concern with the saw being an ex-user of a petrol chainsaw, that is that the amount of chain oil it uses is tiny, about a teaspoonful in half an hour. A petrol chainsaw would use about half a cupful in that time. I am concerned that the chain is seriously under-lubricated. Only time will tell and I have not had the saw long enough to know. Summarizing, powerful, effective and easy to use, on the negative side, unusable assembly instructions and concern about chain lubrication. Attached is a picture of a trunk the chainsaw cut up into logs with great ease and efficiency.
Brought this for copping pallets for my wood burner. I was surprised by the power of this thing. Well worth the money. I’ve only used it once but if it breaks I’ll update my review.
Well built corded chain-saw. Excellent set-up instructions. The chain-saw performed very well on several tree trunks and branches.
Particularly liked the new chain tensioning system which is better than the fiddly one used in earlier B&D models.
easy to adjust and assemble. not too heavy, quiet and very powerful ! I felled and logged 3 tons of timber and the blade never needed adjusting once… good piece of kit and no petrol fumes to inhale.

Made my tree trimming job dead easy – getting the right tools is worth it!
Recommend helmet with visor as an important safety aspect as quite a bit of sawdust created and and falling or whipping branches are a risk to eyes etc
I did not receive the oil it says is included with the item. Everything as far as I know is ok but I cannot try it without oil.
Make sure it is well oiled especially when storing for long time. Assembly is easy and instructions are simple. Delivery was as expected.
