AEG ACS58LI401

AEG 54V Battery run tools – The batteries do not last. The 4AMP batteries are no longer available/suspended. you have to fork out $499 to run your tool atm. Show details

Used for wood collection – I have used the saw for around 14 months now and it's had alot of use. I found it to be far more powerful than the Ryobi 45cc petrol saw. I cut logs between 30-40cm. Anything more than that and it burns through the battery pretty quick. The battery lasts the same as a full tank of petrol chainsaw. But recharging it takes a long time. First it's… Read more

got to cool down which is about 25 minutes then it takes an hour to fully recharge. I find that a full battery gets what I need done. Which saw foot Long's and then split. Im pretty tired after that so I'm happy with the amount I can saw in that time.

No faults since iv used it. But I would say you have to make sure you keep the chain sharp. Which I do with a chain sharpening machine.

The positives with the saw: press a button and go, no mixing oil and petrol. No inhaling petrol. No issues with getting it started. Quieter. Just as powerful as a $400 50cc petrol chainsaw. Good warranty - 5 years. Cleaning the saw is very easy. No air filter for starters! Just give it brushdown. Auto chain oiler. No need to set a dial like petrol saws.

Negative would be you have to buy a spare battery or wait a while to recharge it. Spare batteries are around $300. I would say max width of log your cutting is 40cm.

Worked well until it didn't – It worked well and then failed after less than a year's use - probably only used for 5 or 6 hours. Not happy. I use heaps of the other 58V tools and thought the chainsaw would have been good. Might go back to my Stihl.

Was good while it worked – Battery lasts 20-30 mins. Cuts decent logs but doesnt have the power of a petrol saw. It worked pretty well for a while but mine failed after 8 months of use. Warranty is worthless... I was told $200 to repair so never gonna buy any aeg products again Show details

Better than I expected – So easy and convenient compared with a petrol saw. I reckon it's about equivalent to a 35cc 2 stroke saw. One battery cuts about the same as a tank of fuel or maybe a little less. You need a 4mm file for sharpening, this is not stated in the manual. It's quieter and smoother too. Show details

Warranty issues and poor AEG service – Has major bar oil leaking issue after approx 1.5yrs. Could not even poor out oil after use without risidual oil in the unit making big oil pool underneath (sitting flat on its base). Then the battery release catch locked in solid, you would think maybe debris getting in and you could cleanout yourself...but no its actually pretty sealed and unable… Read more

to free this without having to go back for repair again. This after missing out on a free product redemption because their site would not allow it to go through. Then their redemption team modified my toolbag info (registered product for extended warranty) to change the product I had entered and they had verified with receipts, to avoid the redemption showing. So fraudulently altering my registered product. I'm not one who would normally type up a review (cannot remember even ever making a warranty claim for another product ever), and understand product can have faults but their dishonest, devious handling of customer info and associated warranties causes me much concern. Having since found other people had issues with leaking bar oil that have mysteriously been removed. I no longer trust AEG and cannot recommend their product, so just wanted to warn others dealing with this company and their dodgy ways, and suggest its worth looking at other options.

Awesome little chainsaw – This little battery powered chainsaw is truly awesome. It has as much power as my petrol chainsaws but with a smaller bar. When I first got it, I assumed it would just be used for small jobs around the house, but now I'm finding that I rarely fire up the big saws unless I really need the extra length. I cannot recommend this highly enough. Show details

Surprised by the power and battery life – Liked the idea of a Battery powered chainsaw as we have alot of horses and people riding. The noise consideration was a nice to have. However my concerns over power and battery life where totally unfounded. Filled a trailer of firewood from downed tree branches on half a charge. So much quicker not having to start the saw each time and worry about… Read more

mixing fuel etc. Just pull the trigger and go. at the time considered purchasing the unit with two batteries, One battery has more than enough charge to do the job. Plus with a 1 hour charge time, by the time I had emptied the trailer and got a drink, it was ready to go again.
