I have 4 electric chainsaws that I use for yardwork and workshop stuff.

I have 2 Black and Decker 18" saws that are the same saw as the Oregon but lack the auto sharpener. It is a great saw. Somewhere there is a review I wrote on this site several years ago. It is a very powerful and capable saw. Has a nice auto break on the chain. Has Oregon chain and bar.

I have a 16" corded Bauer (harbor freight) that is also capable. It is a little less safe because the blade coasts to a stop rather than breaking. Easy to handle. Also has an Oregon bar and chain. It is half the price of the Black and decker.

I also have the Bauer 10" cordless chainsaw. I got it for free when I bought a 5ah battery and charger. I used it to do a significant amount of cleanup after our back to back hurricanes. It is amazing how much it can do on one battery.

I have a number of Bauer battery tools so am not worried about battery failure from sitting. If I had to pick just one for limited use, I would go with the Bauer cordless because it is so easy to put to use. I no longer have many trees that would need a bigger saw. I have purchased several yart tools in the Bauer line and have been surprised by how much I like them.
