M18 Chainsaw cuts like a DREAM!!!
I use this for 4x4 trail clearing, fire wood cutting and property maintenance. I love how quiet it is compared to a gas saw. And was pretty impressed with how long my 8.0 batteries last. Very nice saw for the price!!! Kept the fire going all night one one 8.0 battery with 2 bars left after a lot of cutting.

Pros and Cons after a year
First, I have owned about 6 chain saws (various brands), including one corded electric. This was my first cordless electric chainsaw that I bought because I already had Milwaukee batteries, etc. I have had and used this chainsaw for almost a year and here are my thoughts:
PROS:
Weight, handling, cutting, features, and longevity of included 12ah battery are all great. The 12ah battery is good for a day of work in my land maintenance application. Another benefit was this was my first 12ah battery among my stable of M18 batteries. This is the perfect battery for the new high velocity blower and other applications that need a robust battery.
CONS:
Biggest problem and reason I didn't give 5 stars: The chain comes off more frequently than any other chain saw I've ever used. I tighten the nuts with a ratchet wrench, so they should be plenty tight. This is very annoying and very limiting.
Minor problem that has probably been corrected by now: The "helpful" chain direction label under the cover is backwards. I've included photos of that wrong label and the correct label on the outside of the cover. In both photos, the chain is shown in the correct orientation.

Color me impressed
I bought this chainsaw after a lot of research. I don’t often need a chainsaw, maybe once a year or so, and I’ve dealt with enough gasoline powered ones to experience significant frustration. While this one was a bit pricier, it’s exactly what I need, which is a powerful reliable chainsaw. I used it to cut up several downed trees from the latest hurricane, and quite honestly, by the time the battery died, I was ready for a break myself.

I'm impressed. Threw the chain.
Bought this to cut firewood a few times a year. I've owned a few gas and battery saws in the past. This is the only battery powered saw I'd recommend.
Cuts through hardwoods reasonably and is fine for limbing up small stuff. My biggest battery is an 8amp hour and it definitely wont last all day if that's your hope.
Things I don't love:
I don't know enough about saws to properly explain this but I assume it has to do with chain speed. This saw has a tendency to grab logs and roll them towards you. With gas powered saws I never had that issue. I definitely have to brace any/every cut against rolling back to me. I wish the dogs were bigger to help with this problem.
Bar and chain are thin. Seems like this makes the battery possible but it definitely feels flimsy. I threw the chain on the second day of use and I feel like I have to focus on not bending/deflecting the bar and chain.

I would definitely buy this product again
I thought this Chainsaw is going to be a great purchase. That was such an understatement! I like collecting driftwood is turning it into A RT. This saw with a fully charged battery can do so so much!
I’ve cut slabs! I’ve cut endless steppingstones. I’ve cut Burlewood ends from pieces I never would have been able to get to if I had to pack gasoline. Plus it starts every time! I bought the 12 V rotary tool it sharpen the blade perfectly!… Yes I would recommend it

Drops chain, Over oils chain
2min out of the box it dropped the chain. Ok, maybe they didn't tension it at the factory. Tightened it like a normal saw, it lasted another 10min of trimming tiny branches. It does have great power but with the delicate little chain and bar it seems handicapped. Also pumps a bit too much oil that gets all over. Nearly as messy as a 2-stroke saw. Being as this is the top offering from Milwaukee and costs >$450 Still I don't recommend it over other options out there that are cheaper or better quality.
