15 Amp Electric Chainsaw CS1500 with 18-Inch Bar & PowerSharp Self-Sharpening System + Replacement Chain Kit Bundle

Oregon CS1500-091 Chainsaw 18-inch 15 Amp Self-Sharpening Corded Electric I'm posting this review after nearly 4 years of use. One reason that I bought this electric chainsaw nearly 4 years ago was the ease of use over the gas operated chain saw. When I was forced to purchase a home risk insurance policy, I had to cut some very wide tree limbs because they represented threat during hurricane season, I cut branches nearly 18 inches wide with this machine with no problem. They cut like butter. I did not even have to press down on the machine, it cuts with it's own weight. This chainsaw has been above par during it's operation. My only advice is keep the chain tight and watch the oil level carefully. Please don't forget to disengage the chain stop when you get it. Another amazing convenience is adjusting the tension without tools: This highly crafted machine allows you to adjust your chain quickly and easily so that you can maintain the perfect tension for the ideal cut with next to no maintenance Truly, I must have save nearly $1000 with this machine after cutting branches from the oak trees. The machine has literally paid itself off several times over. Another amazing feature is the self-sharping stone that is conveniently located at you hand, press for several seconds and wallah, the chain is sharpened , that easy. While I was working outside, a neighbor came to help me with his 18in gas driven chain saw. Let me tell ;you, the Oregon CS1500-091 is second to none. I cut just as fast as my neighbors saw with greater ease of use. One plus is that I did not even have to worry about mixing gas and oil ratios. The automatic chain oiling works well. Again, I've said it with ad nauseam check the oil level after a long cut! Another plus is the the auto sharpener which is convenient and easy to use. When you push the sharpener handle, you could see little sparks as the sharpener stone brushes against the chain/links. I used a 50 feet extension cord with no power drop. But here is the part you've been waiting for, the customer service is outstanding. I called with a question regarding the oil tank on the machine and the customer service rep answered the phone even away from the office. I must add this part, and she speaks good English. I deal with a plethora of customer service reps and they are simply practicing English while they speak with me. Oh yes, no waiting in line, the phone representative is an expert in her field. Mind you, 4 years later, she had no problem giving me her undivided attention. If you don't by from this company, you've lost your mind. I truly recommend a purchase of this highly rated rugged cutting machine. You won't regret it, trust me!! Michael

I've been using this saw as if it were a pro-grade gas powered chainsaw for five years now and couldn't be more impressed. I bought this when my Echo gas powered chainsaw died, thinking we were replacing our woodstove with a propane stove. Getting free logs and dead trees on my own property have put the propane stove on hold. Here is my assessment after five years use, cutting more than 12 cords of dry and green wood: Pros: Incredibly powerful and cuts beautifully. I've been cutting up to 30" diameter logs as easily as with the Echo. I've been on as much as 300' of 14 gauge extension cord (I really should be using like 10 gauge at that length) with very little power loss. I'd have expected that chocking the amperage down like that would have burnt out the motor. But it just keeps going with no apparent damage. The chain is much quicker and easier to tighten than any gas powered saw I've owned. So much so that it almost makes chain tightening a non-issue. But, see cons below. It's electric, so it's quiet and there's no more need for ear protection. Cons: As others have noted, the chain does have a tendency to jump off the bar when the chain isn't tightened down super tight. But I've found that by grasping the chain a few inches in front of the jump and manually cycling it front and back will jump the chain back onto the bar. The chain does loosen more quickly than any gas powered saw I've owned. But the ease of tightening makes this one a wash. You really do need to use a channel lock wrench to properly tighten the chain tensioner. It is an electric saw, so you have to deal with the power cord while sawing. My opinion; if you can deal with the cord, this saw is better than a gas powered chainsaw.

The Oregon 15 Amp Electric Chainsaw CS1500 with PowerSharp is a fantastic all-around chainsaw. The 18-inch bar makes cutting medium to large branches easy, and the self-sharpening system keeps the chain sharp without stopping to manually sharpen. It’s powerful yet lightweight enough to handle comfortably, and the replacement chain kit bundle is a great bonus — ready to use right away. Perfect for yard work, trimming trees, or prepping firewood. Overall, a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly chainsaw that I’d highly recommend.

This saw is very easy to use and once you let go of the trigger the chain stops rotating immediately which is a great safety feature also not to heavy and has tons of torque even when using a 100ft extension cord. I have down about 2 cords of maple wood with this unit thus far.

Es una electrosierra que tiene buena potencia, muy aceptable, he cortado rodajas de 40 cm de diámetro y sin problema, se afila super rápido por lo que no se pierde tiempo afilando los eslabones uno por uno, no hace tanto ruido, no despide ese olor a gasolina como las motosierras, su cadena es de buena calidad, y lo mejor es que tiene un muy buen precio, desquita completamente lo que estas pagando.

La acabo de estrenar y trabaja excelente y el trabajo lo realice en menor tiempo, el único pero es que no llego bien sellada solo con cinta transparente y la caja semi abierta

Una chulada! Entra como pan en mantequilla 😁

I've used a couple of electric chain saws before and this one is at least as good, and probably better than all of them. It is quite quiet for a chain saw, it cut well, and the stop is almost instantaneous. It is true when they say it is quite balanced - I never felt like I had to compensate one way or the other when operating it. First job with it, I had to cut through a tangle of roots so I would frequently end up cutting through hidden layers of dirt, clay and rocks. The blade got dull pretty quickly but that would be expected of any blade in the circumstances. The auto sharpener came in handy. That feature worked pretty well - don't think it is as good as by hand but it sure is A LOT quicker and was all I needed.
