Best 14 inch chainsaw

Updated: 22 October 2026

A UK search for the best 14 inch chainsaw usually returns cordless brand roundups, dealer-only Stihl picks and longer bars. Best on this page means a saw whose bar length agrees with itself, and whose box matches your socket or the batteries you already own. The [14 inch chainsaw comparison](/hub/forestry-tools/14-inch-chainsaw) keeps six electric amazon.co.uk listings, from about £59.50 to £599.00. This page says who each listing is for and who should skip it. Peter F. read those cards in October 2026. This is not a laboratory test.

Best beside a socket

Continuous cut suits logs stacked where an outdoor socket is safe. The Hyundai HYC1600E at about £59.50 is 4.2 from 859 ratings. The title says 1600 W, 14 inch, 230 V and a 3 m cable. Bullets still claim 2400 W and a 16 inch bar. Use it only with the 14 inch and 1600 W lines that agree. A chain brake is not stated, and oil is not in the box. The Oregon CS1200 at about £97.29 is 4.5 from 47 ratings, with a 14 inch title, an integrated chain brake and a low-kickback chain. Voltage and chain speed in m/s are not on the card. Reviews still describe fitting the chain. The extra money buys brake wording and fewer contradictions.

Best cordless kit

The Hyundai HY40CCS350 at about £188.99 is the top pick. The kit includes two 4.0 Ah 20 V batteries, a dual 4 A charger and a 14 inch / 350 mm bar. Bullets claim up to 20 m/s, an anti-kickback chain brake and a 200 ml oil tank. Oil is not in the included components, and the 4.6 line rests on 20 ratings. UK reviews mention leaks at the filler and a fiddly tensioner. The Hyundai HYC40LI at about £209.00 includes one 2.5 Ah pack and a 2 A charger. It is 4.0 from 73 ratings. A chain brake is not in the bullets. UK reviewers report about 15 minutes in one account and much longer in another, plus a battery that later would not charge. At 3.9 kg it is lighter than the twin-pack Hyundai. It fits a short session if you watch the charge.

Best if you already own the batteries

The Einhell GP-LC 36/35 at about £129.95 fits if you already run Power X-Change 18 V packs and only need the 36 V body. It is 4.4 from 4,127 ratings. Bullets state a 35 cm Oregon bar, a 33 cm cutting length, up to 15 m/s, a 115 ml tank with a sight glass and tool-free tension. A claw stop is named. The words chain brake are not. The highlight and the horsepower field disagree. With no Einhell packs, this price is not a kit. The Husqvarna 225i at about £599.00 includes a battery and a charger in the title, at 3.1 kg. Amp-hours are not stored. Amazon bullets do not state a brake or an oil tank. Husqvarna’s UK page names an inertia brake and 11.8 m/s, which is not on the amazon card. Stored reviews are United States only. It suits someone already on Husqvarna 36 V.

Who should skip which listing

Skip a 12 inch mini saw or a 16 inch result from a 14 inch search. Skip the HYC1600E if the bar must agree with itself. Skip the Einhell if you expected a battery in the box. Skip the HYC40LI for a long pile on one small pack. Skip the 225i if you needed UK review texts or an oil tank on the amazon listing. Leave EGO, Stihl MSA 220 and dealer-only picks out of this six-model answer. A 4.6 from 20 ratings is weaker evidence than 4.4 from 4,127. The checks without a ranked table are on the 14 inch chainsaw buying guide.

Common questions

Which 14 inch chainsaw is best if I work next to a socket?
The Oregon CS1200, at about £97.29 and 4.5 from 47 ratings, if you want a stated chain brake and a title that says 14 inch. The Hyundai HYC1600E, at about £59.50 and 4.2 from 859 ratings, if the lower price matters and you accept a bullet that still says 16 inch and 2400 W. Neither corded listing includes a battery. Oil is a separate buy on both cards.
Which listing includes two batteries?
The Hyundai HY40CCS350 at about £188.99 names two 4.0 Ah 20 V packs and a dual 4 A charger in the included-components line, with a 14 inch / 350 mm bar. The HYC40LI includes one 2.5 Ah pack. The Einhell price is the saw only. The Husqvarna 225i title includes a battery and a charger, but the amp-hours are not stored in this file.
Is the Einhell price a complete kit?
No. The Einhell GP-LC 36/35 at about £129.95 is supplied without a Power X-Change battery or charger. Einhell 36 V tools use two 18 V packs. The £129.95 figure is a complete session only if those packs are already yours. The star line is 4.4 from 4,127 ratings, which is shopper evidence, not a battery in the box.
Is the Husqvarna 225i worth £599 in this set?
Only if you want the Husqvarna 36 V platform and a 14 inch kit headline at about £599.00. Amazon bullets here omit a chain brake and an oil tank that the manufacturer UK page names. Amp-hours are not stored. The 4.4 from 153 ratings sits on review texts marked United States, so they are not UK owner feedback.
Do the star ratings all come from UK reviews?
No. The Husqvarna stored review texts are marked United States, even though 4.4 from 153 is the amazon.co.uk star line. The other five listings in this set mix countries in ways the saved listing does not split into a UK-only count. A higher average on 20 ratings, as on the HY40CCS350, is a smaller sample than 4.4 from 4,127 on the Einhell.
