| The Remington 16-inch 3 HP electric chainsaw is ideal for fast, easy trimming, pruning, tree-felling, firewood-cutting, and more. With a handling weight of only 9 pounds, the 3 HP saw gives maximum peak horsepower in a lightweight, easy-to-handle package. Several safety features are built in, including: front and rear hand guards for operator protection; a trigger lock-out; and a reduced kickback guide bar. Unlike gas-powered chainsaws, the electric chainsaw does not contribute to air pollution and requires no gasoline or oil to mix -- and it's also quieter. It includes a manual oiler with an easy-push button. The chainsaw comes preassembled, and it includes a 1-year limited warranty. |

| I was surprised when I used this saw. It has amazing power for an electric chain saw. Very smooth operation and cuts easily. I wish it had an automatic chain oiling system rather than manual but otherwise this is a great saw for the money! |

| It's a good saw for the money: 3 hp and 16" can handle most jobs. It does what you what it to do as long as you don't mind the cord. You don't finish smelling like 2 cycle oil and gas. Keep the blade out the dirt and you should be all set. Used a lot less bar oil than a gas saw. |
Working great for me.

| I don't know how one could mess up tightening this chain. It's a rather easy mechanism that I actually like. I've also not had the oil leakage problems. Nor have I seen that you have to drain the oil after each use. I've used several much more expensive and much higher quality gas chain saws, but for the price, I think this one is a great performer. |
Sure beats a hand-saw!

| I was pleasantly surprised at just how well this cutter worked, especially considering it's reasonable price compared to a gas driven chainsaw. It had no trouble cutting through a 6" citrus tree stump and other large limbs that I was afraid it might not cut. Sure beats a handsaw!! |
I have seen the light

| I never would have thought an electric chainsaw would work that well. I spent last night cutting 13" trees with no problem. You just squeeze the trigger and go. The best part? I didn't walk in the house reeking of gas! As long as you are near an outlet this electric chainsaw is the way to go! |
SUPRISING POWER

I bought this saw in Jan. 08 to help clean up ice storm damage. I was surprised at the power it has. It can cut the full 16" length of the bar and not bog down. I am cutting red, white and black oak and hickory both green and seasoned and it has no problem. The chain wears less then my gas saws.
It would help to have a shock mounted handle when in hard dry wood, and it badly NEEDS and automatic oiler. Mine is very slow to oil the chain and bar. It leaks when not cutting, but flow is too slow when cutting. The auto oiler is only a few $ and can be added by cutting the oil line and inserting it between the tank and the outlet to the chain. The housing is the same as the automatic version.
I would recommend this unit for nonprofessional home use. I have found that if the chain gets too loose it will "through" it off. I have not found it to be all that difficult to adjust or to reinstall. I would spend the extra money and get the automatic oil model if I were doing it again, but since I have this one, I am going to add the auto oiler and call it good.
I do use a heavy cord on it up to the last 6' which is either a 14 or 16 gauge cord. The other 90' is composed of a 10 and 12 gauge with the 10 gauge plugged into the source. No problems with over heating or any other motor problems. All electric tools need a cord matched to the amp load they draw. |
