I had really high hopes for this slick looking DeWALT, alas it wasn't meant to be.....Just too many cons to recommend IMHO!
#dewalt #lawnmower #projectsforall #toolreviews
The GOOD:
1. Excellent cut quality!
2. Long run time. Battery to spare after 1/3 acre.
3. Power boost on thicker grass works seamlessly and when needed.
4. Low Profile and stores upright is small space.
5. Mulch and Bag functions work as expected.
The BAD:
1. Possibly defective electric motor still engaged in Reverse.
2. Self propelled levers small and hard plastic. Sore thumbs 2 wks in a row.
3. All or Nothing throttle makes for jerky, unpleasant operating experience.
4. Speed control small and hard to operate when moving.
NITPICKS, Not Mentioned In The Vid:
1. Rattles like crazy, can be heard throughout the video.
2. Motor lockout when bale wire released for a sec or motor dies.

First thanks for the video. I bought a Dewalt self-propelled mower 2 and 1/2 years ago for $700. My lawn terrain is about the same as yours. I was quite satisfied until the flimsy propel hand controls started sticking. This spring one of the batteries would only charge up to 2 bars of 3. I ordered 2 new 20v 60v Flex Dewalt batteries at the cost of $300 each. I installed the new batteries and used it to cut 1/2 of my small yard when it started raining. I stopped cutting and put the mower under the carport. 2 days later I checked the batteries and had only one bar showing so I charged them. When the charger showed a solid light one battery showed 3 bars indicating full charge the other only showed 2 bars. I took the old battery that had 3 bars and took the new one with 3 bars and put them in the mower. I pulled it out in the yard and got ready to start it and nothing. The mower was dead. I watched several other YT videos on this type mower failure and saw that the pulley that drives the blade was plastic and had melted causing the blade drive belt to come off which I think may have happened to my mower. Before buying watch some repair videos on this mower which is manufactured by Stanley / Black and Becker since they acquired the Dewalt name, The only authorized Dewalt repair center is about 100 miles from me. In conclusion, I took the batteries back and used the refund to Buy a Honda mower for the same price of the 2 batteries. Never again will I buy a Dewalt product or a battery mower.

I am grateful for your work. I have a small yard with many obstacles requiring pulling back, so I was disappointed to see that they didn't get that right. The hand discomfort shows that their beta testing was absent. I'm a DeWalt fan so perhaps they'll go back to the drawing board and I'll reconsider. I'll watch other videos to see what the deck is made of, how much it weighs, how easy it is to adjust the height of cut, etc. I'm 79 and I want something self-propelled but also lightweight because my Honda-powered MTD without self-propel is a chore.

I own the push version, and I love it. It cuts cleanly like you said, it is light enough for me. The dewalt push mower feels like my old Troy Built TB240 self-propelled gas mower when the throttle is engaged. The benefits of the dewalt mower being lighter was a big plus to me, I was expecting it to be of similar weight as the Troy Built.

I recently made the mistake of buying an Ego lawn mower. Its far from good, its marginal at best and the plastic construction is not going to fare well with my rough yard. Stuck with this mower now that I really don't use. The buttons for the self propel on the Ego are terrible, slight bump, hand comes off for a second and you stop. The self propel doesn't release when you let off either, so you have to push the mower forward in order for it to disengage, kind of annoying. My Ego randomly shuts itself off as well without any warning, or error lights....the self propel randomly stops working too. For a $600+ mower I expected better, a lot better. Back to the gas lawn mower, Ego, another over-rated brand of mower. The OEM blade on it sucks too, barely any lift, marginal cut quality, and didn't mulch well. I put a universal 3 in 1 blade on it and it did much better. The motor is supposed to be torque sensitive as well and automatically adjust to conditions...it does but its so slow at it, that the thing will stall before it ramps up the speed, or it ramps the speed up after you have already passed the area where the extra speed was needed. Don't recommend the Ego, people swear by them but I'm not impressed at all.

SO.. I own this Mower I think first off you are cutting too fast. 5 6 7 is almost a trot there isn’t a gas mower that I know of that runs that fast well.. Maybe a Dixie Chopper but this is a walk behind not a run behind Plenty of power too . And trying to mulch 8 to 10 inches of grass? A bit much for any mower also. Mine will throw wet grass to the back of the bag consistently. As far as the drive motor disengaging, let off on the trigger a touch early and it works every time. Higher drive speeds are for the trot back to the garage cut at about 2.

For me, I don't think gas mowers are an environmental issue so much as a convenience issue. My battery powered mower cuts well, is quiet, needs no maintenance, doesn't need to be pull started, and doesn't make me smell like gas fumes (which I hate). That's a lot of pluses from my standpoint. Certainly some battery powered mowers are not so great, but don't write them all off. P. S. Saving the ozone layer is actually a great example of when we took action to fix a problem: we reduced CFC usage. We should be proud! 🎉

I know better, but I will reply. The ozone layer issue is still an issue. Look into charging refrigerants for cars or any other type of A/C and you will learn a lot! The news is very much still alive and all U.S. and many other countries industries have changed due to scientific evidence that has been known since the 50's, but did not make it to mainstream news until the 80's. And yes, you are indeed still warming the environment. I use a Toro 60v Max for a few years now. I used to love my Craftsman gas mower that was a beast that would cut down anything. The Toro does just as well, but it was a matter of getting used to something that works slightly different.

My opinion of this mower has changed since the vid. I still am not a fan of the ergonomics but finding it less of an issue as I get used to it. The clean cut it produced out of the box seems to have degraded after a few cuts and I find I have to make two passes to get an even cut. I’ll probably do a follow up vid next spring and we’ll find a new mower to test. Thanks for watching!

I agree with both of you actually. Cut quality is excellent and the lawn looks great. But. The user experience is just as important IMO. This mower is pretty uncomfortable to use. The throttle is all or nothing and is pretty jerky. It rattles constantly over uneven ground which can be heard in the vid. It takes me a little over an hour to cut that lawn. Twice a week so I don’t have to bag and we’re talking 2.5 hours a week! A non personal pace TORO will cost half the price of this DeWALT and have none of the problems. I’ve had two last over 20 years with sometimes three cuts a week. The DeWALTs going back to the store! Thanks for watching friends!

That grass was not that high but a field is a lil different but this mower cannot compete. Maybe in time but no one wants to stop and wait on batteries nor an overheated motor. I think the claim of 70 minutes run time is based on best results like a low lawn, dry grass and that too is rare. Once the batteries age a little you'll need two more on two rechargers just to cut everything. Very expensive and how long will those batteries last.......less than the life of the motor.
