Black & Decker NPP2018 electric pole chain saw reviews
We have found many reviews all of them very positive with a couple of exceptions which can be blamed on bad luck and receiving a defect machine, which happens with every machine no matter how good the overall quality is.
Many people praise the quality and durability of the electric pole chain saw, and are amazed how easily it cuts through branches of up to 3 inches thick. When the branches are thicker it is a bit more difficult for the NPP2018 to get through and the battery drains a bit quicker with the thicker branches as well.
Most reviewers found the Black & Decker NPP2018 electric pole chain saw very easy to use, especially compared to gas fueled pole chain saws. Of course the 18 volt battery can’t compare in strength to the gas fueled versions but it still does a great job. There was even a review from a 73 year old man who found it easy to handle.
The 14 feet reach makes it easy to reach most tree limbs. The battery is very good and for the longer jobs you can easily replace the empty battery with a similar 18 volt Black & Decker battery.
The strong canvas carrying bag is a nice and useful bonus.
According to our research the Black & Decker NPP2018 electric pole chain saw offers great value for your money and is great when you need a more portable chain saw with a long reach. It’s very easy for us to give this pole chain saw a strong recommendation.
*Update: THe NPP2018 from Black & Decker has been discontinued, the replacement model is the LPP120.
There will be an in depth review in the future, but for the time being: The LPP120 is comparable to the NPP2018 and definitely a good buy if you were interested in the previous model.
