Have only seen wattage mentioned a couple times on these battery power saws.
Looked at lots of them too online and in the stores.
There may be a way to compute the wattage on them all.
I have been going mostly by chain speed to gauge performance levels.
mps - i think it means meters per second.
Lowes seems to list it on them all (mps)
Walmart gives pretty good spec rundowns too.
HD seems to be less detailed on the amount of specs.
Consumer reviews are something i really look into as well.
A lot of the negative/low star reviews are probably folks who wear loafers because they cant tie shoestrings. But when a tool has 4.2 to 5 star overall its doing a good job. Under 4 stars overall it would need to be drastically Clearance priced to consider.
Have seen the Sun Joe brand on most all the websites.
Just can't warm up to it.
It's like one or two steps up from Harbor Freight - imo
