Good product, works well. Oil indicator - see through plastic window is useful feature. Fairly quiet, with good amount of power, able to cut through some sizable logs (around 30cm diameter) Chain can be a bit fiddly to put on initially. Good hassle free service from Tooled-up

Super machine. I am used to using a petrol chainsaw and was a little worried about losing the power I was used to, I cut logs in the garden for my log burner. The neighbours however, were beginning to give me harsh looks and I put it down to the noise from the petrol machine. So, I thought I would give an electric one a go, WHAT A MACHINE!!. No more trips for petrol, no more mixing two stroke oil, I love the tool less chain tensioner, (five seconds instead of five minutes) and it's cheaper to run. It makes no more noise than a hammer drill. My son keeps me supplied with logs as he works in the industry. He delivered over a ton of logs last week, working alone I had it cut and stored in an hour and a half. The Oregon chain was like a hot knife through butter, I love it. The service, price and delivery from tooled up was fantastic, I will never use anyone else. No matter what your fears from an electric saw may be, this Bosh will dismiss them all.

Having never bought a chain saw before, I was unsure what to get - a friend warned me off cheap electric saws, but this is only cheap in price - I cannot believe how good this one is! I've two recently felled trees to saw into logs and this saw will cut through 12 inch branches with ease. It's easy to set up from out of the box, the chain is simple to tension, and the auto-lubrication system keeps the chain gliding through the logs. I was going to hire a petrol saw to do the job, but this was cheaper, more flexible, and I've now got a great tool for the longer term.

Best electric chain saw that I've used, with the power to easily cut logs of up to 12inches diameter. Chain tensioning feature makes usage very easy. Good value product.

My old electric chainsaw finally broke down this Autumn after 4 years light usage. It's main drawback was the the chain tensioning system which meant fiddling about with spanners and screwdrivers and usually putting the chain back on. This Bosch model makes it much easier, is faster and with a narrower chain. I recently felled a tree which was 60cm across in places and this was easily accomplished. It is much stronger and lighter than my old "Champion" one. I wanted the 40cm bar rather than 35cm for that extra bit of cutting and that costs a little more. The best price available was from Tooled -Up @ £84.00 with delivery. This model was at least £117.00 and upwards from other retailers. Chainsaws are potentially lethal but I am happy with the instant cut out feature and believe it to be as safe as possible. There is no sustitue for sensible use however! I use it to supply my woodburner with logs and and so far its performance is excellent with a feel of good build quality which I expect from Bosch. A bargain price for a machine which helps to reduce my electricity bills by @ £400.00 pa.
