Cut for hours on an old white oak tree. AND the chain adjustment requires no tools. Even when fully extended the pole isn't flimsy. I have several gas chainsaws 14-30ins. I do have a couple suggestions though.

EGO Power+ CS1600 Final Thoughts
"Now I own a chainsaw."
2 cycle oil has improved much since then. This is an essential for any home-owner. Would not be good for cutting cord wood. No problems with power, or stalling. For the price though it's a great deal.
