I put these through their paces and cleared a small forest using a car 300w inverter to charge the batteries. You need to be sure to have 3 batteries for full days of work. One will be too hot to charge after it dies on the saw. Switch for the second then charge the first while cutting with the 3rd. You can spend $40 and put an 18” bar on the 14” saw. You are welcome
Dude, great video thank you. In addition, bless your heart, beautiful home. Gotta brag here, I thank God for my beautiful home in the Delaware Forest. You got a friend in PA.
I have the 14inch saw and seem to have a problem getting the oil through to the chain even after taking the side plate of and cleaning it all out, I did not know about the filter in the oil chamber I will the and remove that and see if thats the problem, Anyway thanks for the great video you have been a great help.
I am wondering if all the ego chainsaws are the same? I know the 18" is capable of more rpm, more interested if this is just because of speed controller or more juice going to the motor.
Does the 14” and 18” use interchangeable batteries. AND do either come either the 5 ft long handle to reach high up limbs or to cut out in front trees or logs ??
The 18" is over 500 dollars up here on Canada......I really think it should have a 7.5 battery and a rapid charger. Thinking of picking one up just so I have a second 5.0 battery for my non-self propelled Select cut and having the saw would just be a bonus lol.
Is there an on off switch for that LED light? What is a T battery? I have the three sized EGO batteries for the EGO blowers. I am only interested in the most powerful chainsaw. Can we purchase the smaller bars and use them instead of the 18" bar? Are the batteries interchangeable with all the other EGO products so we can use the largest EGO battery as well as their smallest? How does the EGO chainsaw compare with the Stihl, the Husqvarna and the Dewalt? Thanks, safe cutting 👍🏽
Yes there is a switch for the lights on the top of chainsaw. Even a high and low beam setting!! All EGO Batteries are interchangeable between tools you just might not get the as long of run time with smaller batteries. The 18” Chainsaw is Awesome!! The 18” bar is the only one you can currently put on the CS1804 model because of the tensioning system. EGO is the #1 Rated Battery Powered Platform on the market and blows the competition out of the water!!
What do you suggest for a chain sharpener for the 18 inch? I took my chain to a pro and he said most servicers are not equipped with the correct electric sharpener for an electric chain saw.
@@MrHrKaidoOjamaaVKJV have an 18" and a 20" husky 455. The 455 is an animal and if going for thicker hardwood and a lot of cutting, of course i'd use that. The ego you can cut a cord easily on a 7.5a battery, delimbing and 16" cuts on a couple 50-70ft trees with 14-16" trunks no problem. By that point you'll probably want to take a break and need to add bar oil, plus move the wood around. 2 batteries will easily do 6-8hr of work, I've cut around 10 cord with the ego 18" and I'm really impressed. With the inverter and lawn mower it makes for a nice setup.
@@MrHrKaidoOjamaaVKJV I have the 18in and did a good amount of research, I am happy with the purchase but it wont be your primary saw if you heat with wood but still my go to saw now for 80% of my wood cutting. Love the chain tensioner! I have had no issues with it and cleared 2 land lots so far.
So quick question on the 18" can u use a 14"-16" bar and even use the 10" bar from there pole saw on it? The 10" would be a great size for trimming small branches or cutting smaller logs. I like the 18", because of the speed trying to find the answer before I purchase the saw.
Hi I also wondered the same as have been using the 18 bar successfully but wondered if the shorter bars would fit, and according to Ego we CAN interchange the 14" & 16" bars on this saw however not the 10". Can't wait to try!
My 18" chain is WAY to tight, if I back the big nob off so its at the right tension the cover is half off and the bar falls side to side basically unusable, I have to run it with the chain way way to tight, I'm surprised smoke doesn't roll off the bar when I'm using it. Pretty crappy design, just put a normal adjuster on it like a real chainsaw or is this saw just targeted towards stupid people with no knowledge of any mechanics. They probably shouldn't be running a saw in my opinion. Lol
@@milesfifer171 yeah I get smoke when bucking firewood. last winter I would have to jam the bar in snow to cool it off constantly. I thought I must have been doing something wrong. Either have a tight chain and a stable bar. Or a wobbly bar and a proper tension on the chain. Maybe I got defective model
It would be good to see a demonstration. The Sthil UA-cam demo doesn't adequately show how to secure your wood on a saw horse and how to start and end the cut safely (in the last picture it shows the back of the instructor large and centre of the picture and a distance shot of the girl cutting, and only from the front, when he is advocating a safe standing position which you never see as the legs/whole body isn't shown). I have bought an Ego with several tools and the smaller chain saw. It would be great to see how to use it, not just the feature of the tools. Thanks.
I did. I have the 18" saw. I put on a 14" bar so it would fit in backpack but it wouldn't oil the chain. I put calipers on both bars and the 14" is thinner. With the thinner 14" bar the pin on the block that screws onto the 18" bar was going in too far and blocking the oil. On the 18" bar you can see light through the oiling hole but not the 14". Since I didn't see how to purchase that block that screws onto the 18" without buying another 18" bar I drilled the 14" bars oiling hole 1/16 larger and can see light around the pin now. The holes are 1/4". In a drill press I drilled ONLY the oiling hole on the saw side 5/16 and can now see light around the pin. If you have a 18" saw and fit a smaller bar pay attention to how it oils and why not.
I would definitely recommend this to any home owner. It has all the power and can do a lot of cutting per charge. The only reason to go petrol is if you are logging many hours a day. And since you asked, I would guess you are not a logger :)
Can I suggest you re-title your video. At first, it almost sounds like you are getting ready to give reasons why people should NOT BUY the products, rather than informing people of the differences between models, which is what the video actually does.
According to ego, the motor speed on the 14/16 inch is 6800 rpm, the 18 is 11000 rpm. I’ve got the 16, now I want the 18 for the speed and bigger blade. Worth the extra $50? He’ll yes.
Your company needs to invest in some sales people with experience. Im a huge EGO fan and loyal customer. Your not doing this company any services. It made me want to burn all my Ego tools.
Why burn them? He says that the 18” and 16” now come with a 5 volt battery! That has to be a whole lot cheaper than the 56 volt battery that the 14” requires, don’t you think?
J&J Groundworks you had a click bait title. You never said in the end why watching your video would help is BEFORE WE BUY AN EGO CHAINSAW!!! you did not tell us how many cuts they get per charge. You did not compare them to gas chainsaws. You did not even do any cut or power Comparisons between the models. You were just like here a big one. Here a small one. That was pretty lame.
leyline77 the purpose was to compare the 14” vs. 18” and help you make a decision on which EGO to buy for you. Also please forgive my video quality I’m not a professional UA-camr just trying to help the cause!
@@jjgroundworks3451 I appreciate the effort. This video told me the differences between the 14, 16, and 18 which is really hard to glean from EGO's website or anywhere else. If you want cut or power numbers, those are on the website.

Tip* rotate your phone next time you are recording
I picked up a brand new EGO CS1804 off Facebook Marketplace for $225 and it is awesome... Used it on 2 jobs so far, screw gas chainsaws...
Excellent comparison. Also, with the larger battery, the 18-inch saw only costs $75 beyond the cost of the battery!
Helpful. Thank you. Just what I needed to see. Watching this cost me another 50 bucks though. Haha

Has the notorious chain throw problem with the 16" model been addressed and fixed?

What do you suggest for a chain sharpener for the 18 inch? I took my chain to a pro and he said most servicers are not equipped with the correct electric sharpener for an electric chain saw.
I have the 18" and love it, cut fire wood with it and does well even on hard woods.
Did you compare this EGO 18 inch model to other brands? If so what is your insight?

14 “ and 16” chainsaws can swap. The 18” chainsaw or 10” pole saw only have one option.

Can the 14" chain and bar fit onto the 18" chainsaw? I was wondering since you have both and mentioned something about it towards the end of the video
No, only the 14” and 16” bars can be interchanged.
Great video! Oregon is pronounced Orygun. :) I just purchased my first chainsaw, the EGO 18", I'm waiting to get it. :)
I didn't know Bill Gates into chainsaw stuff.
Does the bar wiggle up and down on the 18" or the chain get too tight
My 18" chain is WAY to tight, if I back the big nob off so its at the right tension the cover is half off and the bar falls side to side basically unusable, I have to run it with the chain way way to tight, I'm surprised smoke doesn't roll off the bar when I'm using it.

what size chains do they run
Incorrect. the 12" saw is the most expensive saw they have. Due to the back pack power supply $879

Do you know if there's a difference in the chain bar thickness between
the 16" and 18"? I bought the 16" and the bar got bent so easily.
I know the 14" bar is thinner.
Are the batteries interchangeable between the 14" and 18"?
The batteries are universal throughout the entire ego range.
I'm impressed by the one I own. Battery operated is the FUTURE people! Just don't cross thread the cheap ass plastic cover for your oil fill.
Hi, is the 52v battery for trimmer and chainsaw interchangeable? Thanks
Yes..EGO batteries work in any EGO product. I own several EGO products
Can the 14 or 16 inch blade go on the 18 inch saw?
Derek Simenac you can not, the 14 and 16 inch bars are interchangeable but right now nothing is changeable with the 18” bar
I did. I have the 18" saw. I put on a 14" bar so it would fit in backpack but it wouldn't oil the chain. I put calipers on both bars and the 14" is thinner.

would you reccomend this chainsaw over a petrol kind chainsaw?
I would definitely recommend this to any home owner. It has all the power and can do a lot of cutting per charge. The only reason to go petrol is if you are logging many hours a day. And since you asked, I would guess you are not a logger :)
Put it up against DeWalt
Great video, but please engage the chain brake while pointing out and flipping the saw. Fingers are important
