Aldi were selling the Oregon 16" electric chainsaw at half price (£28)
last week so after a couple of days use felling/slicing several
medium-size trees at my daughter's I reckon it's already paid for
itself. I was really surprised how well it coped - way better than
expected.

Most of the supplied 200cc oil is already gone. Is it OK to use
vegetable / cooking oil as many websites suggest? It's hardly seems
worth investing in expensive Stihl / branded oil intended for more
powerful 2-stroke saws.

I use the toolstation chainsaw oil is my little bosch electric chainsaw
- seems to work OK and not block up
