Greenworks Pro 80V 18" Chainsaw vs Greenworks 80V 16" Chainsaw Kit
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 80V 16" Chainsaw Kit
- 250 claimed cuts per charge is the longest run of any 16-inch saw Greenworks sells
- Cheaper than the 60V 16-inch kit and ships a larger 4.0Ah battery
- 4-year tool and battery warranty, a year longer than the 40V line
- Full-size 3/8"/.050 chain rather than the narrow .043 on the 40V 16-inch
- 9.5 lb bare keeps it manageable for limbing work
- 65.6 ft/s chain speed is slow — it finishes cuts, it does not rush them
- Ships the 2A charger, so refilling the 4.0Ah pack takes a full hour
- 80V spare batteries are the priciest in the Greenworks range
- Fewer tools on the 80V platform than on 40V or 60V
