## What reviewers say

**455 Rancher** — Only one whitelisted tester, Pro Tool Reviews (Jan 2024), covered the exact 455 Rancher; it names the saw its best professional pick for cutting firewood, praising a low-vibration 55cc engine that 'cuts through firewood like butter,' toolless air-filter access and single-screw chain tensioning. No lab-measured numbers were reported. (1 sourced review.)

**Power+ CS1804** — One whitelisted source, Pro Tool Reviews, delivered a hands-on review of the EGO 18" CS1800 (the same 18" 56V chainsaw sold in the CS1804 kit SKU), rating it 9.4/10. The reviewer cut oak branches ranging 4"-12" and praised chain speed and cutting power, the LED light for storm cleanup, tool-free chain tensioning, metal bucking spikes, and the visual red chain-brake indicator, calling it strong value at $349 as a kit with a 5.0Ah battery and charger. Only minor gripes (slight chain chatter on the first cuts, and the saw not sitting flat on the oil-fill side). No lab-measured numbers were reported; all three cited quotes were verified verbatim in the fetched text. (1 sourced review.)
