I have a full (not 'mini' version) electric chainsaw from Makita and it goes through trees just fine. Makes very little noise and only when you are using it. Easy to control. It has additionally proven handy for chasing off miscreants. Would buy again. Also heavily recommend the higher end Makita electric blowers. Don't go cheap. You save 10dB with the best ones. The argument that batteries are no good for power tools is bullshit. If you are a professional gardener who is too cheap to pay for some extra batteries, charge $5 extra per hour for 'silent service'. The neighbours will love you.
