Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
Greenworks' 40V chainsaw tops this guide, and the reason is in the box. The £235.99 buys the 35cm saw, two 40V 2Ah batteries and a charger, so one pack can be on charge while the other is cutting. Two 2Ah packs at 40V add up to 160Wh of nominal battery capacity — but the Greenworks listing never states a runtime, so there is no manufacturer figure to set against the roughly 45 minutes one buyer reports.
Two numbers in the same listing do not agree with each other. The description says the saw weighs 3.5kg; the specification table says 3.4kg. The same specification table also carries a Horsepower entry of 1.5 and a unit count of 5060.0 — the second of which describes nothing about a 3.4kg battery chainsaw. Greenworks' own copy describes the tool by voltage and chain speed instead: a 40V system and a 12m/s chain. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from testing we carried out ourselves.

Questions people ask
What comes in the box?
Greenworks lists the 2005707UC as containing the cordless chainsaw, two 40V 2Ah batteries and a charger. Two packs means one can be on charge while the other runs the saw.
How long will the batteries last?
The Greenworks listing gives no runtime. The only figure anywhere in the listing's customer reviews is one buyer's estimate of around 45 minutes from the two batteries, cutting logs for a stove.
How much does this chainsaw weigh?
The specifications list 3.4kg. The product description says 3.5kg for the same 35cm saw. Both figures appear in the same Amazon listing.
What length is the bar and how fast is the chain?
The Greenworks bar is 35cm, or 14 inches, and the chain runs at 12m/s, according to the listing.
What warranty comes with it?
Greenworks states three years on the product and two years on the battery in the manufacturer warranty description.
What does the 1.5 horsepower figure refer to?
The Amazon listing fills its horsepower field with 1.5. Greenworks' own description of the saw gives voltage (a 40V system) and chain speed (12m/s) instead, and states no horsepower figure anywhere else.
