I bought a different Ryobi chainsaw years ago for $99 with two 4Ah batteries and ended up returning it because I didn't think it was worth it. Last year I got one of the cheap $20 chainsaws and am happy with it.
A reciprocating saw with a pruning blade can pretty much do whatever these can but these little chainsaws can do it much faster and easier.
But this ryobi kicks *ss. I can cut all day and the motor is still cool as a cucumber. No burnt smells, nothing.
I took down a large grape vine with this pruner. Even when the blades needed sharpening, this pruner kept going. Would have been faster if I had a freshly sharp chain but I didn't, but ryobi held up. Used a 6ah battery no issue.
Those $20 pruners with a bad chain will give up on you and burn through those cheap batteries it came with in 10 minutes flat.
Conclusion, yes it is worth the money if you do quite I bit of pruning. Is $89 a deal? No so much when I got this for $99 a few years ago.

I tried a (Ryobi) reciprocating saw on tree branches, but that $20 'toy' made the job so much faster!

one battery died after a year. the other takes about 10-20 cuts until it dies. I would be a little afraid these chinese batteries will catch on fire hehe.
I already in Ryobi (and Makita via old Makita battery + battery-adapter to Ryobi products) ecosystem, so I'd like to get one of these at some point (without a battery) and use the batteries i have the most of.
Any opins on 6" vs 8", think Ryobi has 2 or 3 different mini-chain models

The mini chainsaw is better for thicker branches. I have cut a number of fallen tree limbs from storms and also pruned dead ones that needed to be removed. I typically cut wood to size so they can either be collected by my town or down to size to use in a fire pit / fire place. I would definitely not risk using a cheap chainsaw to do this — the moving blade alone without the appropriate guard could really injure you.
A reciprocating saw with a good 5" or larger "pruning blade" is better for cutting branches up to 2-3" inches in diameter. Sure, you can definitely cut bigger ones, but the mini chainsaw's blade is much more efficient at removing the wood more quickly.
I prefer to use the chainsaw at chest height or lower. While the recip saw I have used above my head.
Either tool requires thoughtful use to avoid getting hurt. Both Ryobi tools have seen a lot of use and are both brushed. I have no issues cutting with 4ah batteries - they last quite a while on these tools.
