Electric chainsaw reviews

[silverking]

Shopping for an electric chainsaw and wanted to get some feedback on brands. I own a big Stihl, but I need something light and compact to top viburnum hedge. Looking at 14-inch bars. Also don't want to spend a ton on something I'd only use every couple of years.

Any thoughts on Homelite, Worx or Earthwire brands? I owned a Homelite gas drop saw years ago and it held up well.

Thanks for any input.

I HAVE 2 OF THE LITTLE HOMELITE ELE. CHAIN SAWS AND THEY BOTH WORK GREAT, I USE THEM TO TRIM SEVERAL HUNDRED CRAPE MYRTLE BUSHED, TREES AS WELL AS ABOUT 150 FT. OF HOLLEY BUSHES AROUND THE DECK. I USE 3 -100FT EXTENSION CORDS 14 GAUGE TO GET TO THE TREES THAT ARE THE FARTHEREST AWAY FROM MY OUTLET, I TRIED USING 4 OF THESE CORDS AND THE LITTLE SAW HEATED UP SO I SHUT HER DOWN, IT DOES FINE WITH 3 OF THE 100 FT. 14 GA. CORDS. BOTH OF THESE LITTLE SAWS WORK FINE , I ALWAYS SHARPEN THE CAINS EACH YEAR BEFORE I START USING THEM. GIVE THE BAR A GOOD SHOT OF OIL AND I DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEM UNTIL I HAVE FINISHED TRIMMING MY PLANTS.

Thanks Pa. I was leaning towards the Homelites anyway. Your experience confirms it.
