Greenworks Pro 80V 18" Chainsaw vs Greenworks 60V 18" Brushless Chainsaw
Tinted cells mark the better figure on that row alone: more engine, longer bar, lighter, cheaper. A lighter weight is only a win on the same basis.
What owners like and complain about
Greenworks Pro 80V 18" Chainsaw
- Street price of $210-250 for a complete 18-inch 80V kit embarrasses saws costing twice as much
- 42cc-gas-equivalent brushless motor handles 18-22 inch trees per Lowe's owner reports
- 2.0Ah battery recharges in about 30 minutes — faster than most competitors' packs
- 4-year warranty on both tool and battery, double what Stihl gives its battery saws
- 4.6-star average across Lowe's reviews with consistent praise for quiet, instant-start operation
- 2.0Ah pack is the runtime bottleneck — about 110 cuts, and big hardwood drains it fast
- Recurring owner complaints of chains loosening and derailing without frequent tension checks
- Heavy bar-oil consumption; owners report topping off constantly
- Bogs when forced in logs near the bar's 18-inch capacity
- 80V batteries are pricey if bought alone, which weakens the ecosystem argument
Greenworks 60V 18" Brushless Chainsaw
- 2.0 kW brushless motor with a manufacturer-published 42cc-gas torque comparison
- Complete 4.0Ah kit regularly sells near $310 — strong value against 80V and name-brand rivals
- 4.6-star average over 383 Lowe's reviews, unusually consistent for a budget saw
- Up to 140 cuts per charge with a 40-minute recharge keeps most yard jobs on one pack
- 60V batteries power 75+ Greenworks tools — mowers, blowers, trimmers
- Owner reports of the chain derailing under hard or twisting cuts
- Bogs down in very large logs — the 42cc torque claim has limits in oak-sized wood
- 65.6 ft/s chain speed is noticeably slower than pro battery saws' 78-79 ft/s
- 4.0Ah runtime suits an afternoon, not all-day firewood processing
- No smaller/larger bar options officially supported on this model
