Earthwise CCS30008 Review by KJ Shopping (Sacramento, CA)
If you are looking for power and log-cutting you should stick to a larger gas or corded model and do a little homework on what type of chainsaw meets your needs. Cordless are generally for convenience and lightweight work, NOT power. That is what this little machine gives with surprising capability. I have worked with heavy tools in construction and love a good power tool, but what I love about this is that it is so lightweight I can carry it with a couple fingers and do the whole yard without a break. It went through the base stump of a 6 inch live multi-stem shrub in an area that was too small to reach with my other power tools - it took it down in one pass from each side, left a clean edge and it didn't slow down. It went right off to cutting a live 4" branch of a tree and multiple shrub issues that were too big for loppers. It is easy to get into tight areas which allowed me to clean some old leftover branch breaks I couldn't reach before. I spent 4 hours doing this work and the battery was still going strong (keep in mind stops between branches). I'm nearing 60 and if I had a full size chainsaw, the weight would have had me worn out at the first stump. I got a lot more done this way. I found any pressure on it slowed it down, so I had to retrain myself and not expect it to be as powerful as a huge gas chainsaw. It still worked quite quickly and took slightly longer to cut but with so little effort. I had plenty of energy left to get to a lot of unfinished trimming. I love this lightweight machine and consider it one of my best and most useful tool purchases! The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because I expect it to have a shorter life than I would like - although it seems solidly made, it is still made with lightweight materials and I get rough. That is yet to be seen, however, since I've only had it a short time.
UPDATE: I've had the tool for over a year now and it works as well as when I first got it, so I upped my rating from 4 to 5 stars. I don't use it endlessly since I don't do larger branches that often, but it still zipped through large roots and easily chopped up some unwanted plants that couldn't be cut with large loppers as I cleaned out some unwanted plants this spring. I certainly got my money's worth!
Earthwise CCS30008 Review by Bill-WPB "Bill-WPB" (USA)
I have had this now for 8 months and if it died tomorrow I would feel like I got my money's worth. I have 2 other Earthwise products that use the same battery, so when the battery gets low I pop in a fresh one! Yesterday I took down a 30 feet pine tree with a 8" truck. I have taken more then 20 small trees down over the last 8 months. As long as the battery is fresh, it cuts pine trees like butter.
Earthwise CCS30008 Review by Melissa Meade (Portland, OR USA)
I bought this because I had a small tree way in the back that needed trimming and a gas powered machine seemed like overkill. I would recommend this product for the elderly and those not familiar with power tools. If you're used to using a more powerful tool, I would reckon this would be like driving around 8 passengers in a V4 minivan.
Pluses:
Cordless
Very lightweight, can be used with one hand carefully
Just about zero kickback
No assembly required
Safe enough to cut overhead if absolutely necessary
Decent battery life (1.5 hours intermittent use)
Minuses:
Short on engine power
Difficulty cutting anything more than 3 inches diameter
Blade dulls quickly
Not enough power to split firewood
Overall, I don't regret the purchase but this is not a substitute for a real chainsaw.
