Chainsaw Showdown: From Regret to Reliable – Ranked from Worst to Best

#17. Greenworks – Quiet but Can’t Keep Up

Regret Rating: ★★☆☆☆

Greenworks is clean, quiet, and eco-friendly. But if you’ve got more than a couple shrubs to deal with, you might want to rethink.
It’s great for casual users who hate gas fumes—but once you’re into thicker wood or longer jobs, the battery gives up before the job’s done. Think of it like the electric scooter of chainsaws—fun, but don’t take it on the highway.

Who it’s for:

• Apartment owners with a small backyard
• Occasional trimming jobs
• Not recommended for storm cleanups or tree removal
