So your advice is, talk your neighbor into buying a chain saw?

Electric chain saws are very convenient, quiet and smoke-free. You can
run one at night without waking the neighbors--you can run one in the
garage without smelling the place up. They vary widely in price and
quality. A good professional Stihl will perform just like a
gasoline-powered saw, and will cost just as much. A little plug-in
Remington won't do much work, and probably won't last long. For your
needs, something in between will probably be the best choice.

Leo, I've checked Stihl's web site and they do not list an electric under
their "professional" category. They do however list three electrics under a
separate category, the MS 140, 180C and 220Q. Are either of those what you
are referring to??
