Sun Joe Pole Saw Review

Let’s begin our Sun Joe electric pole chain saw reviews by talking about their overall construction and design quality. As a whole, these are fairly well-constructed saws. They’re not perfect, but they are of very high quality for their price.

Perhaps you’re interested in a Sun Joe 10 inch pole saw? If so, you might be interested in the SWJ803E or the SWJ807E. Equipped with a 10-inch saw arm, these saws are designed specifically to make it through thick, high-positioned branches. The 803E is capable of adjusting to 7.2 feet in length while the 807E is capable of adjusting to 8.7 feet in length. They weigh in at 7.9 pounds and 8.4 pounds, respectively.

Each and every one of these saws is made out of tough plastic and metal, and are capable of withstanding quite a few years of wear and tear. They also possess handles which are close to identical. These handles are equipped with triggers which can be pressed and released to easily start and stop the chain itself.As far as overall construction goes, these pole saws are as solid as any. When you consider how generally inexpensive they are, you realize that you’re getting quite a bit for your money.

Next for our Sun Joe pole saw reviews, we’ll talk about their overall ease of use. Possessing a number of useful features, these saws go a long way in making the lives of their users much less complicated.

One of the useful features found with a Sun Joe saw is a multi-angle telescopic pole. The Sun Joe electric multi-angle telescopic pole chain saw that we’ll talk about is the SWJ803E. Not only can it extend up to 7.2 feet in length, but its saw head is able to actually be adjusted to multiple angles.

The 807E is very useful for its ability to be used as both a pole saw and a chain saw. When you need to reach up and cut high-hanging branches, you can leave it connected to its pole. When you need to cut branches at body level, you can simply disconnect the saw head and use it as a standard Sun Joe chain saw.

There are many pole saws on the market which are not capable of these things. Considering how affordably priced these Sun Joe saws are, they are really offering quite a bit of value.

For the next part of our review, let’s discuss the power capabilities of the Sun Joe 800E series. In this series of pole saws, there are 4 corded, electric saws, and one battery-powered saw. The thing that all of these saws have in common is that they’re powerful enough to consistently make it woods of all kinds.

The battery-powered saw in the series is the iON8PS2. Equipped with a 40v lithium ion battery, it possesses around 25 minutes of total runtime when fully charged. At most, a fully charged battery will accommodate around 75 separate cuts. Of course, because it’s not restricted by a power cord, this saw can be used just about anywhere.

The other 4 saws are corded, electric saws which possess motors of either 6.5 amps or 8 amps. The 6.5-amp saws in this group are the SWJ800E and the SWJ802E. While not quite as powerful as the 8-amp pole saws, they are still perfectly suitable for small jobs around the house.

The 8-amp pole saws in this series are the SWJ803E and the SWJ807E. As far as pole saws go, these are about as powerful as you’re going to find. They have little to no trouble slicing through branches regardless of what type of wood they’re dealing with. Here's Sun Joe's promotional video for these pole saws:

As far as cutting ability goes, these Sun Joe pole saws are some of the best in the business. Whether you’re using one with an 8-inch saw arm or a 10-inch saw arm, you shouldn’t have much trouble at all slicing through various types of wood.

The Sun Joe Ultimate Tilting Pole Saw is adept at cutting wood from a variety of angles because of its adjustable, multi-angle saw head. If you can’t access a branch by pointing the saw head straight up, you can just adjust the saw head’s angle in order to access the branch from a different angle.

One of the great things about these saws’ abilities to access wood from a variety of angles is that fallen branches will not fall directly on to you. Because the saw head can be angled, you can stand back away from the fallen branch, avoiding any change of undue injury.

While they don’t possess the absolute best cutting ability for pole saws, these Sun Joe saws are still very capable, especially for their reasonable price. 

For the most part, all of these Sun Joe pole saws create the same amount of noise. Obviously, the saws with 8-amp motors are going to be a bit louder than the saws with 6.5-amp motors, but there is no remarkable difference to make note of. When running, these saws are no noisier than a push lawnmower.

So, while they’re loud, they don’t make any noise that is out of the ordinary. They won’t cause your neighbors to lash out or call the authorities. Of course, the sound that they produce is far from pleasant. If you’re sensitive to loud, grinding noises, it’s recommended that you wear earplugs while using these saws.
