- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2025Style: 9-AmpSize: 14-InchVerified PurchaseI received my 16' saw in 2 days, well packed. After unpacking I filled the bar oil reservoir and ran the saw motor without the bar for approximately 4 min, this was to check for oil flow the tank to the discharge hole located just above the bar attachment bolt. Oil began to flow properly. My reason for this was that I had the 3 days prior returned one that the oiler pump was not functioning. After discussing this with the manufacture tech support I was told to return it to amazon
That being said I did and reordered another. 2 days later I received the new saw and all is well. The saw works perfectly and delivers a clean trouble free cut on a red oak stump. I have 2 gas powered saws but wanted an electric one for local to the house, trouble free, no gas, and lighter weight. This saw fits the bill and at a very reasonable price. If it should ever fail I will buy another just like this one.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2025Style: 15-AmpSize: 18-InchVerified PurchaseThis thing is great! It's plenty big and mean and will do the job of any gas chainsaw...assuming you have a long enough cord. I cut through a 30+ inch dried out, rock-hard oak tree in several places and it was still keen to keep going. The mechanism for attaching the blade is pretty awkward to put together out of the box, but in the end it works well enough. Tightening the chain is easy, but you do end up having to adjust it pretty often. The motor is very powerful so it does still vibrate like a gas saw and it can be loud, but not as loud as gas. Do be warned, you will have to add your own bar and chain oil, it does not come with any. The oil did leak from the cap a little bit, but I didn't have any other problems with the oil. I couldn't tell that it gets hot and I never had to worry about over working it (again - oak!). The best part was the instruction booklet - unpack "with the help of a friend or trustworthy foe" haha!

- Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2025Style: 15-AmpSize: 18-InchVerified PurchaseWorks well so far. Delivery was delayed for a week but it was fairly easy to assemble. This is a wen 18inch version and seems to have plenty of power. The chain stops instantly when trigger is released. Does not appear to be variable speed. It’s either on at full speed or stopped. I like the blade scabbard.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2024Style: 12-AmpSize: 16-InchVerified PurchaseFor how little I spent on this, I was quite happy with its performance! The chainsaw has plenty of power and it does a great job! I only have two complaints, the first being that it’s a corded chainsaw, so you have to drag a cord around wherever you go. But I knew this when I bought it, so that doesn’t count against the product. The second is that there’s no emergency brake, which every chainsaw I’ve ever used prior to this has had. This might be because it’s electric- the chain stops pretty soon after letting your finger off the trigger. But if the saw were to kick back and the chain were still running, there’s a guard but no brake to instantly stop the chain. Again, I’m not sure how critical that is on a chainsaw like this, but it’s good to know.
Being an electric chainsaw, it’s nice to only have to supply bar and chain oil and not gas as well. Also, it’s more maneuverable as it’s smaller than a comparable gas chainsaw. Not to mention it’s much quieter, the noise is much less objectionable than a gas chainsaw, and there’s no exhaust to breathe.
The chain tensioning mechanism is toolless and like every chainsaw needs periodic tensioning, but I found it to be better than expected at holding the tension.
I bought this because of its low cost to help me take a stump out, which is pretty abusive work for a chainsaw. So far it performed quite well! And I wasn’t planning on keeping it around once the job was done, but it’s not a half bad tool! In my experience, Wen builds decent quality tools at an affordable price (I have a few pneumatic nailers from them that I’ve used extensively, and also like.) I would certainly recommend this chainsaw as a good quality low-cost option!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2025Style: 12-AmpSize: 16-InchVerified PurchaseI have a couple cordless chainsaws that work okay but this 16-in corded electric chainsaw works great!! I managed to cut down a lot of big trees and this will do the job the cordless ones no way, they will bind up and stop and then you have to start it again... the only thing about this one is it doesn't have an electric brake so when you stop the saw the chain keeps spinning another five seconds on its own before it will stop and that could be dangerous as when you think it's done spinning it's not so keep that in mind but other than that it's a really good saw well worth the money they're asking
- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024Style: 15-AmpSize: 18-InchVerified PurchaseI recently purchased the Wen 18-inch 15 amp electric chainsaw, and I must say, it has exceeded all my expectations! From its powerful performance to its ease of use, this chainsaw has become an indispensable tool in my arsenal.
First and foremost, the power of this chainsaw is remarkable. It effortlessly cuts through even the toughest of woods with precision and speed. Whether I'm trimming branches or cutting down trees, this chainsaw gets the job done efficiently every time.
One concern I had initially was the issue of the chain coming loose, as mentioned by some reviewers. However, after doing some research, I learned that this is a common occurrence with chainsaws as the chain stretches during the first few uses. With proper maintenance and adjustment, I haven't experienced any issues with the chain coming loose.
Another important point to note is the necessity of using the correct extension cord. I made sure to use a heavy-duty cord suitable for the power requirements of the chainsaw, and it has performed flawlessly.
Overall, I highly recommend the Wen 18-inch 15 amp electric chainsaw to anyone in need of a reliable and powerful cutting tool. It has truly exceeded my expectations, and I'm confident it will exceed yours too. Don't hesitate to invest in this top-notch chainsaw for all your cutting needs!
