Works good.
The saw goes together easy. But it has more flex in the pole when using the extension. It does a nice job of cutting limbs, as long as you don't exceed its rating. It will cut larger branches, but it take more work. I was able to cut 2" limbs without problems. It is an interesting setup with the controls and battery on one end, and the motor at the saw end. It makes it slightly top heavy. But once you have it in place, and weight helps with the cut. It did a better job than I was expecting.

Dear lord! It did the job. Professional removal company wanted to charge me $1900 to remove a willow tree. 4 full days later the tree is down!
Battery last longer than I expected it to last each day.

Cuts nice, not to heavy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They are lightweight, both tools cut very well & the chains are very sharp! it's wonderful that its oil-free! Watch out for kickback like any other tool. I think the newer oil free version is a huge improvement on both the pole saw (P2501) & 8 inch prune saw ( P5452). I even used the pruning saw to cut threw some decent size logs! Battery seems to hold up well enough too. I do wish they had a way to check remaining power on them though.

Easy to use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that the new models are oil free! I had this same pole saw a couple years ago and the oil leaked. Chainsaw is perfect for small trees and so easy to handle!

Ease and Time Saver
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this combo about a month ago and finally decided to give it a go. So far I’ve only used the pruning saw and I’m impressed with it. It is lightweight but sturdy. My 9 year old, after getting some safety training was able to cut some tree limbs for 40 minutes (because it was thrilling). We used it for about two hours (with breaks to move limbs). As advertised, it kept operating at max force until the battery died. I can’t wait to use the pole saw.

Great grab and go tool for small to medium projects
We got this pole saw to add to our other Ryobi battery yard tools when working at my mother in law's home. She has a small yard and this pole saw is great for trimming and pruning her bushes and trees. I really like the fact that all I have to do is grab a couple of batteries and we are ready to go to work. It does not require chain oil which is a great convenience - no mess and expense. The pole saw is really top heavy since the motor is located at the head of the unit near the chain. Therefore, I typically do not use the 3 foot extension and always try to use a larger, heavier amp battery. In comparison, using a 9 amp battery vs. the 1.5 amp supplied battery moves the balance point 10 inches closer to the handle - making it easier to use. It comes with an on board tool for adjusting the chain tension - which is nice. The pole saw does need a better cover for the blade. The one supplied is very flimsy and you can easily cut your hand when you try and put the cover on the blade.
The Ryobi electric pole saw is a great pruning tool for those moments you just shouldn't get a ladder out. Fresh out of the box this saw cuts like a hot knife through butter. I normally would use a reciprocating saw on low tree branches but when they are just out of reach or 10 feet away this tool comes to the rescue. It works great with or without the extension pole. The business end of the tool has a bit of weight to it that isn't counter balanced well, but using the included strap makes it manageable to get it up into the tree. Then the head rests on the tree branch and that weight comes to use for cutting. It also has a little plastic notch to hook and pull limbs if they get tangled in the tree. Overall a great tool for people who have small trees that need to be trimmed.
Nothing special. This is a bare basic starter kit. Ryobi makes great chainsaws, I felt this could have been better
This kit lost 2 stars from me for a number of reasons. The battery it comes does not contain a fuel Gauge, the cover for the bar and chain is not like the normal scabbards that comes with polesaws, as it does not cover the entire bar and chain. I would like a telescopic pole instead of the two attachments. Even a foldable arm would have been better, to save time and space and to show some of the innovation that Ryobi is known for. A case would have been great too,
to keep everything together. A suggestion for a next gen model is to include an LED as that would really come in handy during post storm cleanups. Overall I like that the bar is at an angle, as it makes it easier for me to make cuts as I apply downward pressure on the polesaw. I used this on branches that were hanging too low and it worked well. The hook worked well for tangled branches that I wanted to move out of the way. With just the one arm attached I was able to reach a great distance, and that distance is increased with the second arm. This product does not have a tank for oil, so you do not have to worry about it leaking when not in use, but it is a good idea to apply a little to the bar and chain nonetheless.
With this kit you get a saw with an extension arm, battery, and charger. Given that battery and charger cost nearly a $100 when purchased separately, it makes the saw a pretty good value. The extension arms screw together to get full length. There is a bit of play at each of the connections so it wobbles a bit. But for vertical cutting it isn’t an issue. The saw motor is at the top of the arm so it’s a bit top heavy. The chain was nice and sharp and easily cut through branches. I tried it on palm fronds which tend to be stringy and it still had no issues. Zipping right through them. Then I tried it on smaller branched trees (silver sheen) and it had trouble. The skinny branches flexed around too much and tore and splintered, which jammed the cutting chain. I realized I was using the wrong tool for that job but I wanted to see the limits. I was pretty impressed with this tool. It seems like a good value and overall I would give it a “B” grade.
