That Stihl chainsaw is 3 times the cost of that Ego one you are testing it against. The Ego 18” new one is rated at 45cc the equivalent would be the MS 251. Are you going to now show us that a Nissan Leaf can’t tow as much as an F250?
but the right tool for the job is the message. EGO has it's place. I'm just saying it like it is. Nissan Leaf has it's place too. Spend the money as needed is what I'm saying. Electric chainsaws are for branches, not trunks. Some people like me thought EGO was equivalent to gas. Now I know, jut has to spend the money on both to learn, and sharing my experience so expectations are clear.
@@everydaypawel9193 If you purchased the newer model the 18” there would be a tremendous difference. You are also using the 2.5 amp hour battery which is horrible due to the battery overheating and essentially running out of power. Buy a product of a similar cost and compare it. Even the highest rated chainsaw that is battery powered is not even close to your comparison. Did you know that if you buy a truck that is rated to tow 8,000 lbs that one that is rated to tow 10,000 lbs can tow more?
@@chausonharmon693 it is a 5 amp hour battery, (i might have said 5.5 in the video). the new EGO model was not available 2-3 years ago. Tow capacity and duration of cut are 2 different things. There was minimal resistance (force) on the saw. Either way, there is a place for EGO, and it is smaller stuff.
@@chausonharmon693 good comparison explanation!!! I learned the electric saw starts to fail because the battery needs replacing not charging… even if the battery still works fine in leaf blower and string trimmer. I believe chainsaw resistance has a high ramp demand.😃 live and learn.
I have the new ECHO 56V eFORCE Cordless 18-inch Rear Handle Chain Saw with 2/5Ah Batteries and it's amazing. It certainly doesn't shut down during large cuts like the Ego does and it gives my Stihl MS 250 a run for it's money. Sure it doesn't have the staying power of my gas powered saw unless I you purchased additional batteries but it still a strong saw which is only limited by its battery source like a gas powered saw is limited by its fuel source. Not all electric saws are made equal. Love you're video, keep them coming.
I agree! I have a pair of CS1800's; and I think they're great. In my younger years; I used to have half a dozen Stihl saws; three of them over 100cc's; so I know what power is like. You can stall ANY saw; but my 1800's don't stall in normal use.
I have a Husqvarna 51. I bought the EGO 16” to stand in a stream while cutting downed tree limbs into smaller pieces to clean up the mess. Taking the gas saw means it’s always idling and the chain can move. The EGO only moves when you pull the trigger. Safer operation. The limbs are rarely larger the 6”, so it does what it’s designed to do. I don’t get the battery wet because I only cut what’s out of the water. I get what you’re saying about the power of gas in getting through larger pieces.
Yes, every tool has its place, I left me green works electric in the rain for 2 days, found it in a 1 inch puddle, let it dry for a couple days, worked great later!!!!!
i bought a 500i last year (the baddest saw on the planet) and today i cut fire wood for the 1st time with the ego 16 inch (ive got plenty of batteries) did all the cutting i could handle today. Put the 500i up for sale and getting the ego commercial chainsaw next (ego csx5000). but if i was cutting 25inch+ logs all day id be keeping the 500i
My cousin brought over his gas Stihl chainsaw to help me cut a large tree limb that fell on my shed. He takes very good care of his tools. His worked well but he had a few stalls and had to play with it more than once. Afterwords I then asked him cut a tree down for me, it was about 9", he could not get his chainsaw started again no matter what he did. I got out my Ego 14" and it cut it no problem. I since upgraded to the 18" which is around 11,000 rpm, more a fair comparison to gas. I agree, if I was cutting trees all day , use a gas one, batteries can be a pain for a lot of work like that. But the 18" could cut that log and is great for a majority of what you need to do if you are not doing heavy duty work. Different tools for different things.
I agree, I can't start my Stihl now. Same shop that sold it to me said$700 for repairs, same cost of a new one. They are smoking shit. I bough spark plug, an engine rebuild kit is $45 on amazon. We'll see. that's why I end up doing everything my else. Also the only issue with the electric saw was I needed New Battery.
I get good results with the Kobalt 80V Max 18inch chain saw. I do have 2 batteries. Very nice for quick clean up and small jobs. I keep it in the truck for cleaning wind falls.
The EGO's 14" and the older 16 " have a weaker motor that runs at a much lower RPM than their new 16 and 18 inch which has rpm of 11000 rpm. Those little 14 and 16 inch also run a much smaller gauge chain. They are definitely not up to task for the big wood you have. Comparing a 261 to any box store electric saw is a bit of a stretch. As you said $700 vs $200. That is about what I would expect for a result.
True, it is not an equal comparison.. but that is kind of the point. I recently saw info on the faster speed EGO saw. The Point I was trying to get across is to get the right tool for the job, my EGO saw was not good enough and that is what I want people to be aware of when they make their purchase decision. I was not informed and just trying to share reality. I have cut a lot of wood with the EGO so it certainly has a place in the market. Thanks for your comments and thanks for watching!
One of the things I really like the electric saw for is when I am using the chipper. I use a 40-volt WEN saw for the chipper. It tends to throw the chain sometime, Can’t expect too much for $157. But it is nice to not have to start a gas saw just to trim a branch that is too snaggy to get down the chipper chute. Just pull the trigger and let go. I use an MS211 for falling and bucking but most the stuff I process is 12 inches of less. I put that little Stihl threw the ringer removing a 12 foot water oak stump a couple of years ago. I thought I the saw was a dead. New blade, chain, sprocket/clutch and a thorough cleaning, put her back an action. The motor strong as it ever was. Stihl makes a tough product. The 211 being a homeowner saw does not come close to the quality of your 261. I had bought a couple of other EGO products for yardwork last year and was quite impressed with the quality and power. I wanted another 5 amp hour battery but the cost of the battery alone was $249. The EGO 18” Saw package with charger and 5.0 amp battery was $399, With my veteran discount I picked it up for $359. After I deduct the $249 it would have cost me to buy just a battery I ended up paying $110 for the saw and another charger. EGO has upgraded the motor on the 16- and 18-inch saws. The old 14 and 16 inch spun at 6800 rpm. This 18 inch and the new 16 inch spin at 11,000 rpm. The 18 inch also runs a .050” gauge vs the .043” run on the smaller saws. EGO claims the 18 inch is on par with a 45cc saw. I think that might be a stretch. The biggest difference I see between a gasser and electric is the batteries overheat when you push the load limits of the saw. We saw that with your demo. A gas saw handles over loads much differently. Motor bogs a bit , back off and hit it again. If it runs at least like my MS 211 I will be OK with that I never had a need for a Pro saw. Everything I have used over the last 40 years was 35 -40 cc. My favorite was a McCulloch "Mac Cat" back in the early 90's. It was a beast of a small saw. Keep on chucking wood!
Try that again with the correct sized saw. Try the 20inch Ego, more powerful motor. If it stalls easily then I buy your argument. By the way I have two Gas saws, big and small. Love your comment about cold weather and batteries. trying not to annoying Wife and neighbors is reason to look. Keeping wife happy, sure I can live with three saws.
I just figured out the battery just started dying is the reason the saw kept stalling. The battery worked great on blower and string trimmer, but the saw takes a lot of juice. I started using 10amp hour EGO batteries and it works great!!!!
Watched your video more than a few times. You said that it was brand new out of the box. The battery was blinking before it stalled. It probably stalled because there wasn't any bar oil in it and it was overheating. From what I can see in your video, the bar oil tank on the Ego you used was empty.
The chain was brand new, meaning sharp. I haven't used the EGO Since. I'm going to check the oil level. The battery was fully charged at room temperature. The battery in my leaf blower works great.
Well, DUH. The larger, more powerful saw with the longer blade cut better than a smaller one. Buy an equivalent electric and do that test over. Your results will change. I cut, cleaned and stacked 27 8" to 15" poplars last week with that very 16" Ego on 3 charges. The battery outlasted me every time I went out to work. No gas, no fumes, no idling, no pull starting. I'll never own a gas saw again.
Unfortunately, I had to learn the hard way, firsthand, because I didn't know. So I was hoping to share something if others didn't know. I am not aware of equivalent high-power electric says is the lesson I learned.
Noticed the battery was flashing red right before it cut out on you. Maybe overheating. Def something to think about. I guess I'm going to stick with my MS250 gas. I could rip that 10" log way faster with my 250.
yes, battery was flashing. It will do that with the battery low or when you press too hard. the battery was fully charged in a warm room, I was not pressing hard, and brand-new sharp chain in this video. I think the resistance of a chain on a wider log just causes it to stall. if you cut smaller logs or branches, there is minimum resistance and a stop in between cuts, it will keep going. I guess they already make a upgraded version of this saw. My opinion, electric is ok for small stuff. Happy I got a more powerful gas saw. Each has it's place. Thanks for watching!
My issue with the electric saw would be that, if it's anything like all the other battery powered tools I have, the battery will only last a couple of years before it's worthless. A gas saw will last 10-20 years if you take care of it.
@@JamesCouch777 I don’t know how to take care of a gas saw. That’s why I broke mine. I’m a loser big time! The battery is equal to gasoline you waste, electric motors last longer than gas motors.
How sharp is the blade? You need to buy to tool for the job. The EGO there isn’t in the same class as that model of STIHL. A fairer comparison would be with the STIHL 170
This is most honest review about ego chainsaw. I would not buy one if I could see this video prior to make purchases even after all the good reviews. I have 18inch one, however, this chainsaw can not cut if diameter is more than 14inch. Spend more money for new Stihl MSA 300 or stick with Gas chainsaw.
Well I never ever have cut a log that big so mabe an electric is good for me. Then I dont have the acquiring of fuel , mixing it then the regular expence of servicing the petrol one(probably a visit to the dealer 300kms away)and the fuckn damn awfull noise. I am going EGO 18 inch, it runs faster than the one depicted here. Of cours you go petrol if you cut alot of timber but I am just living off grid in a small home and dont need that much saw.
you are correct. Big logs=big high power saw. smaller stuff can be managed with smaller less power saw. The right tool for the job. I think I was trying to share the saws/tools are different and have different capabilities.
Why are you wearing ear muffs with an electric chainsaw, my point is you don’t have to = pros and cons + do your homework to what suits you best before purchasing. I just bought an Ego 18” with plenty of power without pissing off the neighbours and great for camping, dunno if you can do that with a two stroke especially if they are banned in the future
That I can understand but the comparison you are making in this video doesn’t seem fair, it’s not the right ego model for this kind of job. I am pretty sure you could struggle with an undersized gas one

Nope, Brand new blade. Not sure what the issue was. battery was warm. I just had the problem over and over again. that's why I bought the Stihl. I didn't have the problem with the Ego before. The battery was kept and charged at room temperature before I brought it out. Think about it. I have nothing to gain by going out of my way talking smack about a chain saw I already own. It was just driving me crazy.

@@John-cj3ve it’s like comparing how much a Ford F150 can tow compared to a Toyota Prius. The truth is I’ve learned over time that my battery was crapping out, even though it still worked good and a leaf blower and string trimmer, I think the chainsaw takes a lot more amps so it was crapping out, I added a new battery and it works great.😃
You're missing the point. First: electric chainsaws can tackle pretty-much anything a gas-powered saw can, with some very modest changes in how you approach your tasks. Second: the simplicity and convenience of electric is their main selling point, and not how much wood they can plow through in five seconds. You bring up "frustration" in your video but fail to mention the fact that an engine that is difficult to start (or outright unable to start) can be incredibly frustrating too. Electric is simple, clean, reliable, and convenient as can be.

It's simple, use the right tool for the job. Ego had to make an upgraded version.
Yes Sir!!!
You can't cut redwoods down with it: JUNK 😂 🤡🤡🤡
Ego is good, sometimes you need more cowbell.

Ego is a good tool, but electric is not always equal to gas. Power = Power, the same units of measure need to be compared.
blasblazer bedoel ik bladblazer foutje bericht hieronder
cool!
Een fijne dag verder!
Ego chain saw is not for cutting real wood.
I think your video is ridiculous! It's like comparing a Corvette to a Honda Prius.
@@John-cj3ve it’s like comparing how much a Ford F150 can tow compared to a Toyota Prius. The truth is I’ve learned over time that my battery was crapping out, even though it still worked good and a leaf blower and string trimmer, I think the chainsaw takes a lot more amps so it was crapping out, I added a new battery and it works great.😃
@@everydaypawel9193 hahaha! My mistake; TOYOTA Prius!
@@John-cj3ve 😃😃😃
You're missing the point. First: electric chainsaws can tackle pretty-much anything a gas-powered saw can, with some very modest changes in how you approach your tasks. Second: the simplicity and convenience of electric is their main selling point, and not how much wood they can plow through in five seconds. You bring up "frustration" in your video but fail to mention the fact that an engine that is difficult to start (or outright unable to start) can be incredibly frustrating too. Electric is simple, clean, reliable, and convenient as can be.
You're right. All the points you make are valid and should be considered.
