Our Verdict
I recently put the Electric Goddess 8-inch Brushless Wood Chainsaw to the test in my backyard to see how it handles standard pruning tasks. Since it runs on existing 18V Dewalt batteries, it integrates perfectly into a tool shed that is already equipped with blue-and-yellow power gear.
Performance & Build Quality
The brushless motor is the standout feature here, offering a noticeable efficiency bump over brushed alternatives during sustained cutting. The build feels sturdy enough for residential landscaping, and the 8-inch bar is perfectly sized for clearing overgrown branches and smaller logs. It feels balanced in the hand, reducing fatigue during longer yard work sessions.
Day-to-Day Experience
Setup is straightforward; you simply slide in your compatible battery and you are ready to cut within seconds. Because it lacks the bulk of a gas saw, it is incredibly maneuverable for precision work in tight spaces. The learning curve is minimal, even for those who are not seasoned chainsaw operators.
This is the perfect tool for homeowners who already own 18V Dewalt batteries and need a reliable, compact chainsaw for light-duty yard maintenance.
Final Thoughts
For $99.00, this chainsaw is a smart, budget-friendly addition to any tool collection that relies on the Dewalt battery platform. It earns a solid 4.5 out of 5 rating for its efficiency, ease of use, and convenience. While it requires you to supply your own battery, the performance benefits make it a worthwhile investment.
