I've yet to replace a stolen Stihl gas saw that someone decided they wanted a while back, but I did pick up an electric Makita chainsaw that I've been pleased with so far. Its much nicer to use around my yard as I don't wind up stinking of two-stroke exhaust (the stench gets to me after the work is done, don't so much notice it when underway though). Makita owns a well-established German chainsaw manufacturer by the name of Dolmar, so any of their chainsaws are Dolmar's rebadged in Makita teal.
I have an older electric chainsaw that still works well but its lack of some safety features has me less fond of it than the Makita.
