The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the EGO CS2005 is the most decorated battery chainsaw in this pool. protoolreviews.com highlights three cutting speeds, fast trigger response, and a meaningful step up from EGO's older 18-inch model, while techgearlab.com goes further and calls it the best electric chainsaw they have ever tested, faster in their cutting tests than the gas saws in the same lineup. The included LCD display and 6Ah battery also draw favorable mentions.
What reviewers liked
- Two high-trust expert reviews (protoolreviews.com, techgearlab.com) rate cutting speed at or above gas-class
- Three-speed motor and digital display praised by reviewers for control and feedback
- Owner reports on r/egopowerplus describe strong runtime on the included 6Ah battery
- 20-inch bar handles serious felling and bucking that smaller saws struggle with
Where it falls short
- Heavy compared to 16-inch saws — multiple reviewers flag this for extended overhead or limbing work
- Amazon review volume is very small (8 reviews), so retailer-customer signal is thin
- Price is high, especially at MSRP without a Lowe's-style promo
- Long charge time on the larger packs noted in community discussion of EGO's bigger batteries

Specialist-community signal on r/egopowerplus reinforces the expert read: owners describe roughly 18 mid-size cuts on a single 6Ah battery and note the 20-inch CS2005 is on a 'different level' from EGO's 16-inch saws thanks to a more aggressive chain and motor. The trade-offs reviewers surface honestly are weight (this is a heavy saw), price (often $449–$549 depending on promotion), and the fact that Amazon's review count is still very small, so the strongest evidence here is expert testing rather than crowd ratings.
For buyers who want one battery saw that genuinely competes with gas for felling and bucking, the consensus across the high-trust sources points squarely here.
- Highlight 1
- Made in China
The 20 inch EGO seems to get decent reviews and IMO is a great deal for the CS2005 kit at Lowes (on sale right now for $449 in USA). Maybe ...
Got a new tool today! Pretty impressed with this machine. Right of the box on a freshly charged battery: 18 ~15 inch cuts in 30 min on a single 6 ah battery.
