If you have to do home and garden work with occasional forays into the forest for firewood, the best option is to go for a cordless chainsaw. This is a bit more versatile than a corded chainsaw, with more ease of use than the gas-powered version.
Cordless chainsaws are quiet, and safe to use as the chain does not go around the bar as it does on the other saws. These are a less powerful alternative to the gas powered chainsaw and easy to use for small jobs, and are handy for around the yard job and keeping your trees in shape.
