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

#14. Worx – All Features, No Fight

Regret Rating: ★★☆☆☆

Worx chainsaws look slick on paper: tool-free chain tensioning, automatic oiling, ergonomic design… but the performance? Meh.
They’re great for trimming hedges or light yard work. But try cutting damp wood or roots, and the motor gives up faster than you'd expect. It's more “occasional helper” than “everyday warrior.”

What to expect:

• Not meant for tough jobs
• Can stall or bog down easily
• Works best for very light-duty tasks
