I've been using chainsaws for about 50 years--all brands but always gas. Last summer I decided to get an electric corded saw for around the house. Paid under $100 for one. Couldn't keep the chain adjusted, rapidly coming loose and falling off. So I returned it and bought a different brand. Same problem. It got returned also. Turns out the chain tightener was a cheapo chunk of plastic.
For the first half dozen cuts they ran good--lots of power, but just useless if you have to take it apart and put the chain back on. Maybe the better quality, more expensive electric saws are better but I'm back to using one of my two gas powered saws.
If you get an electric saw, the chain tensioner is something to check on first.
