Amazon.com Product Description
The Milwaukee 16-inch 13 Amp 2.25 HP electric chain saw is equipped with a handguard-actuated brake and resettable lock-out switch to shut down the unit in the event of kickback. The 6-1/2-ounce-capacity reservoir automatically oils the chain mechanism, providing one hour of continuous operation. The 16-inch bar runs at an 1800-feet-per-minute chain speed, and its adjustable clutch protects the motor and mechanism from harmful binding. The unit is lightweight, quiet, and smooth-running, and it starts instantly even in freezing weather. A scabbard is provided to protect the chain and bar when not in use. It comes with a 5-year limited power tool warranty.

Terrific - For an electric
I purchased the Milwaukee electric chainsaw five years ago because I did not want to store gasoline anywhere in the house. Like any other Milwaukee product it is excellent and this particular item works as well as any gas model of comparable size. It is surely lighter in weight than any gas model of comparable power. For use around an area you can cover with a 100' extension cord this item is excellent. The machine is quiet, powerful, and doesn't generate smoke and heat!
One bad point: it's electric and the cord can be a difficult if you're up to your waist in branches. Also be sure to determine which generic replacement chain fits - as even the most comprehensive tool supply house didn't stock a replacement.(Oregon S57)
For the average homeowner working around your home on even the largest trees this saw is a good bet. If you're out in the woods cutting firewood surely a gas saw is the better choice.
Mixed feelings
I purchased this chainsaw in March 2001 and immediately noticed oil leaking. I notified a Milwaukee representative who informed me that a small leakage of oil was normal but if the oil reservoir was empty then I should bring it to a service dealer. I finally did this once I was convinced that it was leaking too much and after waiting about 4 weeks I was informed that the parts needed were still on back order. In turn for my inconvenience I was given a new chain saw. Unfortunately, this new chain saw is doing the same thing. I have put out an inquiry regarding this problem to Milwaukee but still have not heard back.
I must say that I am very satisfied with the way this chain saw works and easily cuts through large sized logs.

Good saw, not honest about its national heritage though.
I have had nothing but trouble with gas chainsaws. I decided I would rather haul my generator in a cart behind my tractor (or stack several hundred foot cords) than suffer another chinese-made gas chainsaw with their finicky propensities for not starting or crapping out once they do. So I bought the Milwaukee knowing I'd get a stout American-made saw. But, in words no bigger than a fly's fanny, the saw says "Made in Japan". I suspect it is a name-branded Tanaka or Shindaiwa. I also recently discovered that Milwaukee is now a Chinese company and owned by the same conglomerate that owns Homelite (whose aforementioned chinese gas chainsaws gave me fits) and Ryobi. Nevertheless, it beats my dad's Remington electric chainsaw hands down and I guess I don't have any real complaints about it.
