Rank #10 in Best Cordless Chainsaw 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why 40V Isn't 40V
Bosch AdvancedChain 36V-35-40 Chainsaw Kit with 2.0Ah Battery
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Bosch AdvancedChain 36V-35-40 is number 10 in this guide. It is a 36V cordless chainsaw with a brushless motor, OptiCut torque and speed control and a listed chain speed of 14 m/s, and the listing puts its weight at 3.56 kg. The price shown is £256.00, and that figure buys the saw plus one 2.0Ah battery and the AL 36V-20 charger.
That is the number worth checking. Bosch sells the same AdvancedChain 36V-35-40 as a bare tool for £179.95, so the battery and charger in this listing account for £76.05 of the £256.00. Buyers rate it 4.4 out of 5, but only 18 people have rated it, and the histogram is not uniform: 69% of ratings are 5-star while 25% are 3-star. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing by us.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I bought this Bosch cordless chainsaw after a lot of research and wading through more reviews than I usually would. It's certainly not the cheapest around, I've used one of the cheaper saws and compared to the Bosch, put simply, it didn't compare. The Bosch is very well made, feels robust, it was very easy to put together, the chain tension is simple, but very effective. This is a really important aspect, chain tension is vital and having used the Bosch on four occasions now cutting to around 12 inch logs, chain tension remaind good throughout. Do be aware of the cost of Batteries for this Bosch saw, the 36V system is obvious superior to 18V that many other brands use, but the batteries are expensive. I opted for this saw with a charger and the starter 2AH battery, it saved a lot of initial outlay. This battery does have a decent duration, but when cutting logs 10 inch in diameter the saw is working hard and battery life is reduced. I'm looking at the 4 or 6 AH but they are very costly...although, looked after correctly they do last apparently. In summary, I'm extremely pleased with this saw but recommend buying it with a charger and battery to save on initial outlay.”
Verified purchase“Great chainsaw fairly easy to assemble but putting chain on a bit tricky. Bought to cut back overgrown bushes and worked a treat. Not too heavy to handle but does have a bit of weight if too light may spring back so this is a good thing. Didn't use constantly so don't know how long battery would run before needing charged. Ideal for in the garden and would remcommend.”
