I bought this exact model last week. So far I'm impressed. It does a good job for what its meant for. As far as battery life it lasts as long as my 65 year old arthritic knees will.
Same here. Bought it yesterday. I did not know it does not have a chain break bar, only a handguard which is fine, thought they were useless on a cordless anyway. Did amazing, cutting felled Leyland Cypress, Bradford Pear. I am sorta like you, 63 and my back wore out long before the battery! 4 months of sitting around isn't good. But now it's Spring, back to work and back into shape...lol
I got one of these, very nice chainsaw. I have to admit I was surprised at it’s cutting ability. Easy to use, no gas and oil mixtures. I cut up several trees in my yard that had fallen during a storm (Houston) I still had 1/4 charge. I love the design and how and easy it is to handle. It lubricates the chain very nicely.
Mine works like a normal chainsaw. I'd say like a $130 gas. But with much much more reliability etc... it works much better then my old gas and i do not have to keep pulling on it. i do not try cutting frozen oak though, lol. Im very happy and it is worth the money easy.
Thanks for the review... Even with a beefy battery the BMS was cutting out the chainsaw under constant load. Have the same problem with my Ryobi with edger attachment...
Did you dull the Ryobi's blade before you did those tests? I have the same saw and it's super fast. Way faster and more impressive than what I see in the video. No need to crank on it either.
That big log that I cut threw was frozen and that really dulled up the chain, at first is worked really well, but after a few cuts my chain when to shit, Thanks for watching
Thanks. Watched your video and got this on sale H.D. for 169.00 with second battery. Very satisfied. Love to have their rider but 3000.00... well have to wait.
Bro thats a great f#%@ing deal. I just bought one at H.D in Canada, only one battery and it set me back $328.00 bones! Were always getting ripped off here in Canada. Sorry for complaining, have a great day.
I ran across one and decided to get it, I like the charger with USB port for phone charging or other items when not in use for trees. The saws were designed for smaller sizes than the bars length.
That be fun working as an engineer for ryobi. I like that usb on the charger. Also this generation ry40530 is nicely improved. It's not like it's a $400 makita or whatever but thats fine. It's the best for the money imo.
Yeah I was not impressed with it, I mean maybe the chain got dull from a few cuts but then what a cheap ass chain you know. I could only run it for 7 min of cutting a it would be drained then wait 2 hours for it to charge, Needless to say I didn't like it.
I haven't seen any chainsaw cut "Frozen" wood any better than this did, bad choice of wood to do a first cut. And if your trees diameter is bigger than your bar, get a bigger bar.
I wasn't going to get a 40 volt 14" chainsaw, I was doing great with my 18 volt 12" brush less chainsaw. I liked it so much I just got a upgrade 14" bar and chain from Oregon. It seems to work great and last for a good while. I did however get the 18" 40 volt chainsaw when it came out, it cuts fast with the brush less motor. So for now I will use the 14" for limbing the branches. I went with two ( like new) used 6 amp hour batteries and one 4 amp hour battery. ( Half the price).
Milwaukee is just Ryobi big brother...... So I'm sure there's no worries about the 18 volt usage...lol.... I have ro be tools have for years and have never had an issue.they earned my loyalty by staying loyal to their customers by sticking with the same battery form factor...DYI, Go Ryobi!!!!!
Yes I do like them, but I need some more time on this saw to determine if it will hold up. I plan on chopping up a few trees this week with it and we will see how it go's
I bought this chainsaw about two weeks ago. It worked fine except that no oil was getting on the chain. I checked the weep hole and cleaned it out with a shop vac with a narrow tube attachment. Still no oil, dry as a bone. I took it back to Home Depot and swapped it out for another one. Brought it home and filled it with bar oil and ran it over some cardboard to see if oil was coming out. Oil was coming out but didn’t seem like enough. Used it for one week clearing brush and, again, the bar and chain were hot and no oil. Cleaned out the weep hole etc.. Still no oil. Took it back to Home Depot and swapped it out for the 18v. It has the manual cap bulb oiler so we will see how that goes. I have a lot of Ryobi tools so I was pretty disappointed with this chainsaw. Interested to know if anyone else has had the same experience.
Yes I had trouble with mine too, I swiped mine out for the 18volt brush less model and I love that one. So mine wouldn't cut for shit. I had chain issues and battery issues but the oilier worked ok.
Just started having the same problem. It worked great this fall, I probably did three cords with it. There is a small amount of oil on the interior plate but not enough to get to the chain. I’ve tried blowing out and even ran a small probe through the tube. Seems like this is common problem. No faster way to ruin a chain. Any fixes come up yet?
Mine is gen2 and I also have a feeling the chain is not oiled properly, bar and chain get too hot while cutting. It seems I have to go for Stihl or Husquarna instead regardless of the price
I like everything I see about this chainsaw and am wondering if I can use the existing 40 watt 2.6 ah battery that I already have with my Ryobi cordless grass trimmer.
Yes you can,BUTT I will tell you the run time is honorable I got 7 to 10 min if I used it none stop. And that is with the 4.0 then I had to wait 3 hours for it to cool down then charge. So if you have extra batterys.
I bought one the other day. And I have already cut down or trimmed up 14 trees up to 10+ inches in diameter. Any bigger and I go to my ECho timber wolf. I have found this saw to be very fast cutting. Faster than my ECho 305cs. It looked like the chain may have been backward cutting that log. I tried cutting a tree down
Good review. Probably not a great machine for large logs. But anything under 12" i think it would be nice. Battery life was extremely disappointing though. Some tools are still not ready to be unplugged or un-gassed. I think a chain saw is one of them, they are just so demanding. Cheers
I have one and it works great, the only issue I'm having is the oiler isnt working properly or if at all. Any suggestions on the fix. Love the charger, battery for use of charger for cell phones or more
I would like to know the real, unedited time (not sped up) of how long it took to get thru that 15" log. I couldn't quite tell what kind of wood that was. Ash or Maple maybe? But time would certainly be significantly longer if it was hardwood over soft wood like pine. I good gas powered saw should go thru 15" of hardwood in under 10 sec's is my guessimation. But that little Ryobi looked like it had a tough time getting thru that in, what looked like a full minute? Please let me/us know the true time? Was the saw used before this vid was made? Was the chain dull and/or properly sharpened too? Thanks for posting the vid, but to speed up the camera without a timer, doesn't really help us in making an educated decision. CHEERS!
Awesome video that's cool to see that Ryobi put out a new chainsaw lot of people wait for rigid to do the same cuz AEG has the exact same design and that's pretty much what a lot of the tools are rebranded to Ridgid from they. Have a lawn mower weed wacker blower extension trimmers
Wrote about problem with bar oil filter. Took saw to be fixed and got news that that model oil pump is not made any longer. I love the saw but it doesn’t do me any good. Anyone out there with a pump they’re not using?
I can't really tell from just watching the video, but the Ryobi looks more ergonomic than the DeWalt does, and will the DeWalt take a 60v flexvolt battery?
On the Ryobi its just for looks, non functional. Were the Dewalt one is functional and work's really well. they say the electric ones dont need it because the chain stops fast, but it still takes 4-8 second for it to stop all the way.
Great video!! Thanks for doing the Ryobi Review. Is there any chance you will review the Toro Powerflex 40V outdoors tools. There are very few reviews on line. Toro is widely available at Home Depot and are moderatel priced. Toro advertise superior battery design, long battery life, and quick charging. Sounds good how about we find out how goo they are??? Thanks
Ive ran mine for a few weeks now through various parts of my property for a spring clean up. Its done everything ive asked of it. The charge time is a little disappointing at 2 hours roughly, but it makes for a "break time" to grab a bite to eat, then get back at it. I have 2 batterys for mine. I didnt want to break away from the 18v line up, but after getting 2 bad new ryobi 18v chainsaws(chain oilers didnt work) i said screw it....im glad i bought this setup.
yeah I was very hesitant to buy the 40 volt stuff. I like it but its 10 mins of run time than 2 -2.5 hours to charge it. I did buy the 18 volt one it was on sale for 115 right now at home depot, With is nice because I have a ton of battery's. so I am still tasting it. Have you had any problems with your chain on the 40 ??
@@Impact-OG ironically yes i did have a problem with the first one the chain oiler would not pick up on it either. I was pretty salty. That was 3 ryobi products back to back with the exact same problem. I took it back to the store for a replacement, i gained a free 40v battery for all of my hassle from it. I would expect a little better quality control from ryobi on these 18&40v saws. But needless to say, i do have a keeper....finally
Just bought this and packing says there is a combination wrench? well where is it ? how do you remove it if it is in the handle? (am new female to using this chainsaw
Look, I'm no lumberjack, nor do I play one on TV, but in my estimation this chainsaw is for doing some light trim work around the yard, with maybe, (maybe) some heavy work on limbs and trunks that are 6" at most in diameter. Please stop doing demonstrations on pieces of wood that are longer than the bar! I see all these reviews of people trying to show what the most extreme scenario they can think of for testing out these tools. How about reading the owners manual and taking the manufacturers guidance to heart when putting them to the test? Show what they are "designed" to do, not what will break them. Your tools will last MUCH LONGER when you use them appropriately instead of finding the breaking point right out of the box! I appreciate your channel, but please give your demonstrations a dose of reality. That is what we crave in a review.
Jarod: You are so correct, true words have never been spoken. Its like ,im glad i didn,t cut down that 6000 year old mighty Redwood with my 14 incher Ryobi, it just can,t cut it. Mark.
Is the chain on backwards? I have the 18V brushless and it would have cut that log almost as fast. You should have been able to cut that log way faster than that. Something doesn't seem right. Addendum: I just watched you cut the 4X4. I don't think your saw is cutting properly. Check that you don't have the chain on backwards. Plus it should not have stalled cutting a 4X.
If you would have watched most of the video explained in it that that log was partially frozen because I live in Minnesota where it's been 50 below zero out
Omg your cutting a 15 1/2 inch oak log that is FROZEN? lol. Good times :) and with a 14 inch battery operated. Not bad at least it's possible in an emergency.
We are trying decide on a cordless chainsaw that is under $200 with 5 year warranty and 3 on the battery. Also the battery will work on a large number of tools. Thanks again!
Al, were you aware that TTI owns both Ryobi and Milwaukee? So they would be paying the royalties for the patent to their parent company... I don’t think that Milwaukee is going to sue Ryobi, like they did Snap On.
No not there own people, I mean like kobalt is 24 volt, dewalt went with 20 volt, some of the other tools are 22 volt, and so on so forth, thats why they didnt go with 18 because they would of had to pay them.
Yes and it was kind of Frozen cuz I film this I think when it's still winter here in Minnesota so it kind of hard time cutting it cuz it was partially frozen. Thanks for watching
Yes that is a negative point to it, Mine was mest up and didnt work right so I had to return it. the battery would last 4-7 min, Thats a fully charged 4.0ah 40 volt battery 4 MIN are yo kidding me!!!!!
That is the worst chainsaw performance I think I've ever seen something is wrong with yours frozen are not chain saws will chew through eyes easier than they will wood I have the 40 V 2.5 :00 amp hour greenworks Then I have gone now and cut trees just as big as that in a fraction of the time that took in it's a 14" blade as well either that change is home backwards or that saw is absolutely terrible after watching this and there's no way I would buy a ryobi unless I saw a cut a whole lot better than that of it I bet you were probably sawing on that for a 1/2 hour or more
Yeah I did have trouble with it, It seemed to cute ok at first then It wouldnt really go threw anyting, It was really weird, Im not a chainsaw expert but it seemed a little off, My 18 volt one cut better than the 40.
I have gen 2 Ryobi 40 volt and mine would have cut threw that 14 inch log faster. I think there may be an issue with your chain dull on backwards etc it just seemed like it was not performing as it should?
@@lichking1951 hey thanks for the comment, the chain was not on back words I'm not mentally handicapped hahahah, and that was right out of the box. and there was something wrong with it. It cut like shit.
There was no oil. I've used that saw, you can see the tank is darker when there's oil in it, there's another smoke coming off the chain from friction, and no oil flying off the bar tip. The saw can cut through that log much faster and use way less battery when it's oiled.
" I cant talk, let me weigh it ,the tool pops out real easy" a fail on all of these and I didnt even watch to the end. FFS if you're going to do a review at least pre plan a little better or else people will not take it seriously and will not check back on your reviews. Now back to class and make things better....

I just picked it up, thanks man I really like it. I didn't even know they had redone it.
I ran across one and decided to get it, I like the charger with USB port for phone charging or other items when not in use for trees. The saws were designed for smaller sizes than the bars length.
They had to because gen2 one does not fit their new hi amp batteries (6ah and more), they are bigger
i like this saw and other 40 vt tools they make...
i do like the bolts on the ryobi but i'm going to get the dewalt, i don't plan on over tightening the chain adjustment knob thing
That be fun working as an engineer for ryobi. I like that usb on the charger. Also this generation ry40530 is nicely improved. It's not like it's a $400 makita or whatever but thats fine. It's the best for the money imo.
Mine works well cut lots of stuff big and small keep it sharp and let the saw do the work, its just fine. Great little saw for the money.
That was the most unimpressive cut I've seen from a chainsaw in a long time. Great video!

Yeah buddy thanks for the support. I WILL be doing the 18 brushless, as well as the dewalt 60 flexvolt...
The Ryobi has a traditional shape, appears strong if one doesn't hog the cut. The high grip on the DeWalt looks awkward.

You know I haven't had trouble with that. It might be clogged up with dawn dust, maybe take it apart and clean out the oiler port.
@@Impact-OG it might be something in the oil tank since it only worked for a short while the barley oiled. Thanks

I cant remember what kind of wood it was, but it was well below freezing and the log was frozen so that's why it took so long to cut through.

Yes I was using my flex volt battery butt it also takes normal 20 volt max batterys
"Pops off pretty easily" or not...
Not! 😂😂😂 at least for him lol
I would assume that the chain was dull as you can see that you have cut before the video of the cut was taken
Is that an actual chain brake or just there to look cool with the logo like the older saw had?
On the Ryobi its just for looks, non functional. Were the Dewalt one is functional and work's really well. they say the electric ones dont need it because the chain stops fast, but it still takes 4-8 second for it to stop all the way.

I totally agree. I have same model and would have shredded those pieces . Something isn't right here. Chain installed backwards or needs sharpening.
The charger has a USB port so the battery becomes a power bank for your phone. Slower charging is good for the battery.
Nice one let me know if its worth picking up or not.

Dude have you had any problems with the chain on it?
Check my comment above. It’s a great saw until the oil pump gives out. Who sells a machine you can’t repair?
I think the chain is to tight I have 18v chainsaw and I think it's faster than yours.
Well i bet my dad, can beat your dad!. So nah danah danah nah.
Nice one how long does the battery last?
About 45 mins, as long as your not cutting down a mighty Oak. Mark.

That's a humongous of a log for that saw.
Yes and it was kind of Frozen cuz I film this I think when it's still winter here in Minnesota so it kind of hard time cutting it cuz it was partially frozen. Thanks for watching
I'm not buying this! It hasn't got any spikes to lever off when cutting. What's the point of it?
Yes that is a negative point to it, Mine was mest up and didnt work right so I had to return it. the battery would last 4-7 min, Thats a fully charged 4.0ah 40 volt battery 4 MIN are yo kidding me!!!!!
If you walk around in bubble wrap it’s safer.
@@chrisedward7575 Thanks for the tip hahahahahaha
Ryobi tools are hit and miss. This is definitely a miss
Only milwauke is telling the truth also
It’s says “Too Much” lol
That is the worst chainsaw performance I think I've ever seen something is wrong with yours frozen are not chain saws will chew through eyes easier than they will wood I have the 40 V 2.5 :00 amp hour greenworks Then I have gone now and cut trees just as big as that in a fraction of the time that took in it's a 14" blade as well either that change is home backwards or that saw is absolutely terrible after watching this and there's no way I would buy a ryobi unless I saw a cut a whole lot better than that of it I bet you were probably sawing on that for a 1/2 hour or more
Yeah I did have trouble with it, It seemed to cute ok at first then It wouldnt really go threw anyting, It was really weird, Im not a chainsaw expert but it seemed a little off, My 18 volt one cut better than the 40.
I have gen 2 Ryobi 40 volt and mine would have cut threw that 14 inch log faster. I think there may be an issue with your chain dull on backwards etc it just seemed like it was not performing as it should?
@@lichking1951 hey thanks for the comment, the chain was not on back words I'm not mentally handicapped hahahah, and that was right out of the box. and there was something wrong with it. It cut like shit.
Dont chop your fingers off! hahahahahahahahah ;)
damn dude, you didnt even have bar and chain oil in it. It would gone alot better if you had the oil in it.
Yes I did have oil in it, and I prelude the bar, it just doesn't cut very well
@@Impact-OG Ok well it didnt look like it. I bought that saw and it works and cuts awesome !!
There was no oil. I've used that saw, you can see the tank is darker when there's oil in it, there's another smoke coming off the chain from friction, and no oil flying off the bar tip. The saw can cut through that log much faster and use way less battery when it's oiled.
why the stupid hand signals
I move my hand when I talk, no signals just being me. thanks for watching
Absolutely clueless. WOW
Enlighten me why am I Clueless? Halagos cutting through his Frozen that's why I took forever.
Wheres your video at jimmy Dick? i don't see one.
" I cant talk, let me weigh it ,the tool pops out real easy" a fail on all of these and I didnt even watch to the end. FFS if you're going to do a review at least pre plan a little better or else people will not take it seriously and will not check back on your reviews. Now back to class and make things better....
Well mr perfect I'm glad you didnt watch my stuff dont subscribe dont like it dont ever watch my stuff !!!!
ну и рожа))
Ryobi 40 V batteries suck
Wow not impressed, I don't mind ryobi but this is not a chainsaw, get the Milwaukee works way better
Pathetic performance compared to sthl professional I wont even begin to consider electric chainsaw batteries tech isn't here yet.
Of course its pathetic, its like comparing a Ferrari to a Lada, Duh i wonder which one is better?
