    A couple of lithium products I have (Weedeater and hedge trimmer) had really low run time until the batteries went through a few charge cycles. Do you think it may be the same for this mower?

  • @eosjoe565
    @eosjoe565 6 лет назад +25

    Given that a 5AH battery costs around $138 at Home Depot and they are currently selling this mower for $348 (with 2 batteries). DeWalt could sell this mower for $65 sans batteries and charger for folks who intend to use their existing batteries.

    • @miguellopez3392
      @miguellopez3392 5 лет назад

      On Amazon I think you can get two 5AH batteries for $150, I just got two flex volt 6AH for $180. Retail stores really jack up the price.

    Hey guys, i need some advice please. Looking at buying the Dewalt DCD796 combi drill. I've got 2 prices - £140 with 2x 4AH batteries or £185 with 2x 5AH. Should i pay an extra £45 for the 2 bigger batteries (1ah difference) just for DIY. What u think?

  • @smaltais417
    @smaltais417 6 лет назад +5

    Got this mower about a month ago and i love it but.....
    My 4 complaints are
    1: the battery cover is not closing tight enough and rattles all the time.
    2: the height adjust lever is slack in the position comb and makes clunky noise
    3: the paint is cheap and the deck bottom chipped at several places.
    4: you must lift if off the grass so the blade can pickup speed or it wont start.
    Would I buy it again? Yes because I already have the dewalt 20V ecosystem for all my other tools and I can do my lawn with 2 x 5Ah 20V with no problem, but it gets 7/10 because we expect a mower of this price to be flawless.

  • @scuba0305
    @scuba0305 6 лет назад +1

    I've had the Worx 36V mower for eight years. I hesitated when originally buying it, but couldn't be happier. I have just over a third of an acre and can mow three times with a little charge still left. After six years, I had to buy another battery and at $180, I was grousing about it at first, but then realized that was only $30 a year. I'd have spent more than that on gas/oil, etc. I'm on two years on the second battery and have no issues. The only thing to know is that I do seem to have to make sure the blade is a little sharper than I did with the old gas mower, especially if the grass is a little wet or too tall. Of course, a sharper blade also means a better looking cut. I love Worx equipment - but their customer service isn't up to par.

    So I am a Dewalt Kool Aid drinking fanboy. I waited until last year to get an electric mower. I was given the Ego as a gift and wanted to see if I would not have some apprehension This was launched in April at the Home Depot. You read the reviews and Dan and Eric have it right. It’s getting bashed on the reviews on how crappy the run time is and how bad the wheels are. Breaking off, mowing for under 10 minutes. I went to Lowe’s today and looked at the 40v Dewalt. The steel deck felt like a barrel trash can. I don’t know what Dewalt was thinking. Kobalt has a 80v lawnmower and ego has the 56v. They should have launched this as a flexvolt. Don’t put something on the market that doesn’t get the job done. I have played and seen the Other battery operated and I’m keeping my Ego. I was able to mow 3 lawns in one shot on the 7.5 amp battery and still had 1/2 the battery. I love Ego, but sometimes it leaves grass blades uncut. I have to pass over the lawn twice or cut in two different directions. Every one should know this is the beginning of this market. In 5-7 year Dewalt, Ego, Milwaukee, Stihl and everyone else will have very powerful amp outdoor equipment and make this look like 12v tools. Look it how far the hand tools have come in 5 years. Both Milwaukee and Dewalt have 12 amp batteries. It is a great time in tool advancement. These are the first of a new area that needs more power than they are set up for now.

The pole saw has been amazing and has been used by neighbors and friends. I love Ego and think they have a big future in the market. I have no gas powered tools anymore. I have Dewalt, Milwaukee, Rigid, Ego, Husky, and love the quality of all of them!!! I am big on getting the job done!! This lawnmower is sad and was released too early to get into the market.

      I've been a fan of DeWalt a long time but starting to get sick of their shit. For instance the atomic lineup they made everything as cheap as possible the multi tool they made worst at a higher cost and it didn't last a year at work compared to the original I got 3 years out of it of HARD use and then they fixed it free. I prefer DeWalt because they manufacture more in America then most other companies but they just aren't keeping up. They have the 60v platform they were there first to do it yet they hardly have anything for it. The fact there is no 60v impact or multi tool blows my mind. No 12v ratchet with new 12v lineup and the stuff they did release is like 5 years behind. No 60v mower the run time on 60v blower is crap and that's after what 3 different models I mean I like the blower but it runs about 15 minutes. Trying to hold out and see if they have a big release coming but if they don't do something soon I might have to buy the new stubby impact once it's released and be done with them. I need a number of new tools for work and I don't want to buy their old stuff really when pretty much every other company has caught up and I can get comparable tools for less.

Rolls very well. Well made. A top for TIA... In video here you can improve run Tim by starting in the middle and cut in a circle when cutting a square area lawn.

    @ryankennedy9414 4 года назад

    How has this held up? I saw it in HomeDepot yesterday for $548CAD (about $400USD) which seems pretty reasonable. I have all Dewalt tools which is what makes this appealing. I have an EGO trimmer but their mowers are at least $200 more. Looking over the Dewalt my biggest concern was in the deck, both the front and rear shields underneath are plastic. How have those held up over the course of 2 years? With my current steel deck it has some dents from rocks being launched and it gives me a little pause when I see how much of thise is plastic underneath.

  • @Brondahl
    @Brondahl 4 года назад +1

    @ToolsInAction
    I've almost convinced myself to buy this, but I was planning to use a mix of batteries with it - A new 6Ah FlexVolt, and a collection of 2Ah 18Vs that I already own.
    I asked Dewalt and they "advised against mixing batteries", but didn't give any concrete reason. And obviously they're incentivised to get me to buy 2 new FlexVolt batteries :)
    Have you tried running with mix-and-match batteries? Did it power the mower? Did it seem to cause any problems for the batteries?

    • @nicholasjaworski9368

  • @ThisTall
    @ThisTall 6 лет назад +5

    It shouldn’t be unthinkable with these bigger tools now to expect to do a (30 second) battery swap mid job. If not great but it shouldn’t be such a big point of contention. I think anyone that invests into these serious cordless tool brand machines are going to own at least 5-10 batteries already anyway. If anything, all the pressure on these tool companies should be on super minimal high speed multi chargers, Dewalts 4 charger is as big as this mower, its such a sick joke, personal embarrassment is a legitimate factor to consider when buying one. Imo.

  • @tooolboxx
    @tooolboxx 6 лет назад +6

    I have used electric mowers for years. You have to remember, you HAVE to cut the grass when it is shorter. You can't expect to wait as long as you normally would with a gas mower and expect great run time from the batteries. Tall and damp/wet grass are a literal drag on the power and the batteries drain quickly. Even my corded mowers will not power through what you did and mulch properly. You have to change your mowing mindset with battery mowers. They are for small areas, they have the convenience of no gas or oil needed, they are much quieter and no need to drag an extension cord around. You cannot expect the same out of them as a gasoline engine mower.

    Those batteries are likely to perform much better after a few cycles.

I would be surprised if you don't observe a tangible increase in runtime.

    I see HD has this mower on sale for $348. I'm impressed with the construction and general design of the mower but man, that run time is really a deal killer. I mean, with battery powered yard tools run time is everything. An extra set of 5AH batteries will cost you close to $175 and to get a pair of 9AH Flexvolts will cost you over $400!! So either way, to get a usable mower you're up to $600-750 which is C-R-A-Z-Y. If your yard is small enough to use this mower there are less expensive options out there. Back to the drawing board for DeWalt.

    Slap two flexvolt batteries in there and it would be a nice mower. However I'm not a fan of the handle - the Ryobi has a better design that folds in the middle which makes storage easier. Also not sure about a metal deck - it seems the best Honda mowers have composite decks that won't rust and don't allow grass to stick to them as easily. I'd think a poly deck would actually be better for these since it would save weight.

    I've owned this mower for 2 months. Agree with the review, very happy with the build quality, great cut, very quiet, all the benefits of electric. Run time in s disappointing, but how much you cut and how low you cut make a big difference. I started on 2 now I mow taller at 4 and have much better luck. I bought a set of generic spare 5ah batteries from Amazon for 70 that work great. Very happy with entire 20v dewalt line for my 1/4 acre lot. Have the mower, trimmer, blower, and chainsaw and love them all. Thrilled to be done with gas!

    Is there any word on possibly a flexvolt mower? Like 2x 60v for 120v. I thought flexvolt was designed for these high power tools and yet DeWalt decides to come out with 2x 20v instead. How does this perform if grass is wet or a little long. Prolly atrocious if the runtime already this bad and who knows about power. Highly dissappointed and I refuse to buy this. I guess there's a first for everything

      Nathan Shook Since all my cordless tools are DeWalt, I wanted the DeWalt trimmer. I just couldn't believe that little 20v battery could provide sufficient power or run time. So I got the EGO 56v for the same price as the DeWalt. The EGO has a 90-day return policy. It works better than a lot of gas models of used.. but I'm still curious about the DeWalt. How is it working for for you? Can it handle thicker grass weeds? How's the run time? It's hard to believe reviews. They tell you hey it's a great tool or mower. But it only ran for 10 minutes or it can't handle really tall grass etc. I don't care how pretty it looks if it doesn't get the job done it's a terrible mower. So I think it would be more beneficial to me to hear from someone who is actually using whatever tool I'm interested in buying. Thanks in advance.

      40mmrrsmith The real deal on the DeWalt 20v trimmer. I’m a fanboy of the DeWalt line and the outdoor line is killing me and I can’t switch brands. The DeWalt trimmer works great only if you have small trimming areas. You must have a 4.0 battery at the least. I don’t have flexvolt! The high/low switch is rarely used. I’m always on the high setting and throttling the speed with the trigger that gives me a variable speed. Power is lacking when tall and overgrown weeds are present, but you can slowly get through it. The trimmer string is light and does not hold up to the abuse from chain link fences or concrete. The line diameter is small and bumping for more line is frequent. I would like to try a different brand of string. Currently using DeWalt string!

    In regards to the battery status bars... there are three lights, but act as four indicators. The mower continues to mow when no battery bars are lit... this is your "4th indicator." So, when you loose one bar, you are about 25% through your batteries, loose two bars, you are at 50%, when you loose the third bar, 25%, no bars, you are at 25% and mow until the mower is out of juice.

    I watched this video and the statistics on the use of 2 5 amp hour batteries which almost cut a fairly large front yard.
    I would prefer if a bigger single battery with high amp hour was used. This way there will be less variance in the amps of batteries.
    I don't know why tool manufacturers are going for twin 18 volts or 20 volts depending on models.
    In Europe they have the 230mm 9 inch metabo cordless grinder with one 36 volt 6 amp hour battery. This same model came out in Australia with twin 18 volt batteries.
    I have asked reps what they thought the difference between having a larger
    Battery opposed to the twin system.
    One answer I received is motors may not like a difference amperage going into the machine. Perhaps there may not be any issues. There will be times you have 2 batteries with one battery having less amperage. You may not have access to power or you are limited to time for whatever
    Reason or circumstance.
    For me, I'd rather see the bigger batteries brought on and I suspect it is marketing and sales which pushes for the twin battery setup.
    Ego do the 56 volt system with either 5 amp hour or 7.5 self walking in Australia. I haven't checked if higher amp hour are available.

    Don’t know why this got so many down votes but I gave an upvote for the honesty. Haven’t seen anyone yet talk an ounce bad about Dewalt. But it’s not “bad”, it’s constructive criticism; and it’s something buyers need to look out for, and in my opinion ya’ll deserved a like for it. I’m a Dewalt Dude, so I’m getting this. It looked awesome when it bounced. I could feel the comfort lol. I just need to go buy some bigger batteries. And that leads me to my last point- people don’t complain when they put the extra money into a big truck that uses a lot of gas, or complain about a top tier car that rides smooth for 80 grand, but Heaven forbid if we have to buy two batteries to make a quality lawnmower an even better product. Easy buy in my opinion.
