Oregon Chainsaws
Oregon has 1 saw on ChainsawRanker, priced from $139 to $139. The highest-rated Oregon pick is the Oregon CS1500 Self-Sharpening at ★. Compare the full lineup below.
The CS1500 has one party trick no other chainsaw offers, and it's a good one: pull a lever while the saw runs and the built-in PowerSharp stone touches up the chain in three seconds — no files, no guides, no trip to the shop. That feature, bolted to a legitimate 15-amp motor pulling an 18-inch bar, is why this $139 saw from the company that makes half the world's chains has such a devoted following among people who hate maintenance. Owners report it cutting genuinely large stacked firewood as long as the extension cord cooperates (12-gauge, and mind the 100-foot ceiling). The tradeoffs: the PowerSharp chain system is proprietary (replacement chains and stones cost more than commodity loops), sharpening this way eats chain life faster than filing, it's on the heavy side for a corded saw, and — the corded constant — the wall socket decides your range. For woodpile duty near the house, it's the definition of fit for purpose.
