I have one and it's bloody great. Had a husqy topper and that both in the tree a few weeks back as needed the speed on a few cuts. Hung them onto the tree when I wasn't using them; well it was Christmas time...

So you don't need hearing protection , and if so that's a nice safety bonus.

There are many benefits to workng with these saws...Silence is one...and with that also comes a very relaxed and peaceful working enviroment.Happy climber and groundies able to converse and work ultra safe.

Reduced a horse chestnut today, no cuts bigger than 6 inches. The battery saw loved it.

 

I will say that the relative lack of power means that later on whilst dismantling a fir I switched to a 201.

 

I needed the speed through the cut for the branches to land flat.

 

Poplar, Willow, horse chestnut, lime and the like it's bang on.

Fair comment Mick....know it's limitations and anything up to that it will deliver! I got down to this...For me the best thing about this saw is that once you are at work position and faced with a busy set of cuts it allows you the precise pruning ability of a hand saw whilst saving your elbow grease.....
