Best Chainsaws of 2025

"I was initially skeptical, but I bought this saw to see if the reviews were true. It's not suited for professional loggers, but it's perfect for weekend projects and ATV trips. I put it through its paces, and it really impressed me. While the plastic isn't top-tier, it performed well cutting through a bush cord of Elm and Ash. For the price, this is a solid choice for casual use!"

"When I received the saw, I was thrilled with how quickly it started. I set up the 24” bar, filled it with gas and oil, and it roared to life in just a few pulls. I tested it on hardwood firewood and was impressed by its power without stalling. It also handles well in the Alaskan mill. However, I'd love to see it come with a ripping chain, as that's a feature many would appreciate. Overall, I'm very happy with this saw!"

"This chainsaw is fantastic for the price point! I mainly got it for my wife to trim branches, and it works wonderfully on small trees. It cuts through anything under 10” effortlessly, and I've even tackled an 18” trunk without any issues. The lightweight design and powerful motor make it easy to use. I genuinely recommend Proyama products for their quality and affordability!"

"I find this husky light and powerful. It starts up easily and performs well compared to its competitors."

"As a beginner, I appreciate how easy it is to handle. It cuts well and runs reliably after some adjustments. Just a heads up, sharpening the chain is essential for optimal performance."

"After five months with the Husqvarna 130, I'm impressed. It's been a reliable tool for my home projects, lightweight, and I love the automatic lubrication feature. Perfect for my gardening and woodworking needs!"

"I purchased this electric chainsaw last month to tackle some small trees in my yard. I was pleasantly surprised by its cutting power—it easily handled 8-inch trees and logs. While it doesn't cut as fast as my gas chainsaw, it operates continuously without any interruptions. The automatic chain oiler works well, and I really appreciate the convenience of the self-sharpening feature."

"Having used gas chainsaws for years, I decided to give this electric one a try. I found it to be virtually as powerful as my gas saw, with the added benefits of instant torque and safety features like an instant stop when releasing the trigger. It's great for around the house, and I love that I don't end up smelling like gas after use!"

"This is my first electric chainsaw, and I am impressed with its performance. It handles trees, branches, and logs up to 8 inches in diameter without overheating. Adjusting the oil flow was a bit tricky at first, but overall, the setup is much simpler compared to traditional gas chainsaws."

"I’ve been using this chainsaw for about 6 months now and I couldn’t be happier. I finally decided to upgrade from my old Jonsered and this saw strikes a perfect balance between a homeowner model and a professional one. If you’re in the market for a new saw, I highly recommend investing a bit more for something that will truly last."

"When I first got this chainsaw, I was a bit concerned. It seemed underwhelming at first, but after the third tank, I noticed a significant change. By the sixth tank, it was cutting through wood like butter. I’m glad I purchased this saw, especially for the price I got it at—under $500. Just remember to use non-ethanol fuels for the best performance."

"I had a bit of a nightmare trying to register my new chainsaw. The product number didn’t work, and I had to reach out to both the seller and Husqvarna. Eventually, I was able to register it under a different number, but I truly love this saw. It has excellent power with a 24-inch bar, and it cuts like a dream with a 20-inch bar too. I recommend getting it from a reputable dealer."

"I didn't expect much from a $79 chainsaw, but I'm pleasantly surprised. It has decent power and cuts well. The plastic body seems sturdy, and I hope it lasts as long as my previous saw. However, I do anticipate some oil leakage as it wears."

"This saw is a fantastic deal! It cuts like a gas saw but is much easier to handle because it's electric. Just a heads up, it doesn't come with oil, so be sure to buy some before your first use."

"I used this saw to cut an elm tree, and it worked like a charm. It was lightweight and very easy to use. I appreciate not having to deal with mixed gas or starter issues. Just keep in mind that the chain will freewheel a bit once you let go of the trigger."

"I was pleasantly surprised by this saw. It started right up and ran like a top. I've owned many saws, but this one is the most powerful I've ever had!"

"After some initial issues, I managed to get it together. It cuts like a champ and idles nicely. Just a note, it uses a 25:1 gas mixture and is a bit noisy."

"I took a chance on this saw and I'm glad I did. It's powerful and cuts perfectly. Setting it up was quick, and it started with just a few pulls. Great performance all day!"

"This chainsaw cuts incredibly well and runs smoothly. I'm very pleased with my purchase!"

"I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quality chainsaw; it's worth every penny!"

"I just received the chainsaw and the delivery was quick. After assembling it and putting in fuel and oil, I followed the starting instructions but it wouldn't start. If I can’t fix this, I’ll definitely return it."

"I really like this chainsaw—it's simple to operate, very lightweight, and the quality is excellent."

"I bought this chainsaw for my husband and it worked great for clearing a large fallen tree in our backyard. It easily cut through even the thickest trunk, making the job a lot easier. I highly recommend it for tough tasks like this!"

"I recently bought this Wen 18-inch 15 amp electric chainsaw, and it has completely exceeded my expectations! The power is remarkable, effortlessly cutting through tough wood with precision. After some initial concerns about the chain coming loose, I discovered it’s a common issue that can be managed with proper maintenance. Overall, I highly recommend it as a reliable and powerful tool for anyone."

"I was a bit skeptical about this chainsaw at first, but I was happily surprised by its performance! It cuts through wood like butter, and the assembly was straightforward. Although I experienced some chain looseness, it hasn’t been a major issue for me. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly electric chainsaw, this one is fantastic!"

"For the price, I was quite satisfied with this chainsaw's performance! It has plenty of power and does a great job. My only minor complaint is the lack of an emergency brake, but the chain stops fairly quickly after releasing the trigger. Overall, it’s a good quality, low-cost option that I would certainly recommend."

"I got this chainsaw for climbing work around my property. It's lightweight and a real performer when set up correctly. After replacing the spark plug and adjusting the air cleaner, it starts on the second pull even in 20-degree weather. I've run a tank and a half through it, and it's cutting beautifully. This is perfect for those who do their own tree work or need to cut small branches. I'm very satisfied with this purchase. My only worry is about future parts availability."

"I just started using this chainsaw, and while it cuts well, the handle broke after a few starts. I had to tie it on with the starter rope. After a little use, the chain brake began to malfunction, activating while cutting. I've only run four tanks of gas through it in less than two months, and now I'm trying to contact the seller but haven’t heard back."

"I didn’t rate it five stars yet because I just used it for the first time today. Starting it was a bit tricky, but after adjusting the carburetor, I figured it out and got it going! It cuts really well, although I think the chain oiler might need adjusting. If you’re experienced with chainsaws, this is a good option, but for beginners like me, it was a bit challenging to get started."
