Nice video, I am actually in the market for one of these, and nice to see a Modernmilt video come up in a search!

[@elbeaver0]

Great vid! super informative yet no rambling about useless details! I love it. Thanks!

[@MODERNMILT]

Thank you. That is my plan with my page as I also hate all the fluff details

[@danielrollins4315]

I like the video and I like how you show the details on how to put it together I wish it would have been longer and been a complete video.

[@MODERNMILT]

Complete as in usage and run time?

[@danielrollins4315]

Yes how it does on the grass, how loud it is, how long it runs for if it jams up, can the blade be replaced or sharpened. How is the build quality is it flimsy or high quality?

[@otrookie]

Short straight to the point. Awesome content

[@MODERNMILT]

This is my goal for all my videos.

[@carlosguitarlos2]

Dude, thank you. Dewalt should send you some coin for making easy to follow instructions instead of the garbage they provide with the mower

[@MODERNMILT]

Thank you

[@dw9085]

Exactly the video I was looking for. Thank you 👍

[@jerryfalletta3770]

The "DON'T LOSE THIS" tag for the key is golden. Try to find a spare or one to replace a missing key... nearly impossible. Mine was missing the key but had everything else. Went back to Homey Depot and they gave me a key from another of the same model. Also waiting for warmer weather and the grass to grow. I first considered the newest Toro (preferably w/o the headlights) but those are still apparently not available. This Dewalt appears to be well made and the run time should be approximately an hour under normal conditions. Because I have a large yard and a JD X390 (48"), even if I just do the more confined areas and "trimming" with this mower, it should work well. One thing I noticed last evening (yeah, I started it inside the house... the dog was not amused, but rather was initially confused, worthy of a head tilt) that if you squeeze the wheel drive "triggers" all the way, the mower will really boogitate, even if the thumbwheel is set completely to the slowest setting. Do I need to think of this as a variable speed tool (like a drill) and just do a partial squeeze? It is either that or chase it around the yard and get the heart rate up. ;)

qwhat did u get

[@danieldennon9862]

Thanks for the video, I just picked up this mower but have some questions with issues I'm having. When using the self-propelled function it vibrates and makes a terrible chain grinding sound. The vibration and sound are so annoying I can't use the function. Much smoother and easier to push it. Does yours do the same thing? Also your right can't cut more than a couple inches of grass without stalling. All my tools are DeWalt so I got it for the batteries but I'm considering returning it to Home Depot. I tried connecting to Support at DeWalt and it was a waste of time no one knows anything and you can't even talk to a real person who has used one of these. Thanks

[@plmn93]

I like DeWalt and like that this is made in USA. It still looks cheaply built though compared to EGO and Toro. Looking forward to the full review.

[@loucifer4205]

The EGO is the cheapest looking lawnmower it's made out of plastic you can't cheaper looking than that

[@eclecticgentleman]

​@@loucifer4205 it might look cheap but ego gives you a 5-year warranty on the mower and battery. They are also highly rated if you look at their ratings online.

[@loucifer4205]

@@eclecticgentleman But can you use the battery on your drill recip saw or circular saw, that's a big difference

[@cj599]

ego is very cheap inside i have worked on them for the last several years one of our top battery replacements tooo

[@randomrazr]

what did u guys end up getting, dewalt or toro

[@mattb9807]

I just bought this model and it did not come with the mulch plug, when I mow without the bag all of the grass clippings just collect where the plug should be, I hope Home Depot can get me one but otherwise it’s great so far

[@MODERNMILT]

Strange that it doesn’t come with the plug

[@DaRevrin]

A comparison of this vs. Toro super recycler vs. Milwaukee mower would be great to see.

[@MODERNMILT]

I’ll work on it

[@randomrazr]

Which did u get

[@jeeden]

When are we going to see the review? Want to go get one with the flexvolt batteries (don't seem to be many in stock) but wonder if the power is there and it is better than last year's version

[@goulartaf66]

Have you tried the CAT 60V Electric mower, trimmer and blowers?

[@lucianosmurf7037]

Came here to watch how to put the bag on the rail, was disappointed it just skipped through that part saying it's hard lol. End of the video showed how the bag looks attached though so at least I had a starting point for reference.

[@mini14head]

Different than mine... Rear wheel drive mine front. 2 - 10 amp/hour batteries not 12. and my mulch plug is built into rear bag door.

[@eclecticgentleman]

What's the performance like? Does it bog down much?

[@MODERNMILT]

So far it’s great except when you get into higher grass, 3” and up, it will shut off. You need to adjust the height of the deck and work down

[@rcairflr]

This looks pretty comparable to the new Milwaukee. Would love to see a shootout comparing the 2

[@MODERNMILT]

Would love to get my hands on a Milwaukee one to compare

[@ob1kenobi832]

I agree with the no rambling, but wish you had rambled less on the easy stuff and more with assembly of the bag from hell.

[@kittyaxeart9534]

yes!! why did he show a super close up of the bag, that doesn’t help at all

[@jttillman7109]

Battery life is an issue even with 12Ah batteries. Got it and charged the batteries overnight. I own .61acres. I mowed less than a 1/4 of ankle high grass and within 30 min both batteries were dead.

[@MODERNMILT]

Strange because i have about the same size property and i had 1 bar left on one and 2 on the other

[@jttillman7109]

@@MODERNMILT did you use the rwd at all? I used it for a few passes.

[@jttillman7109]

@@MODERNMILT recharged and used the mower without using powered rwd. It lasted for about an hour until it got to 1 bar.

I just brought this but can not assemble, the lower arms are two different sizes ( 21” / 23”) Is this supposed to be like that? What lenght are yours?how can you put the handle on if it’s different?.. please help..

[@MODERNMILT]

I’m pretty sure mine are the same length but I will have to check

[@devinnasar3014]

Mine did not come with the mulching plug and I am struggling to work with my supplier to get a replacement. Any idea what the part number for the mulching plug is?

[@ThePugSmuggler]

Just got mine in today, I got the DCMWSP255U2 which is the same mower but comes with the 2x20v 10ah batteries. Was so excited to get it but mine seems to have a few issues(or maybe I do), I would love to know if you have the same problems or if mine is a lemon. My front right tire sits slightly higher then the rest, and on the highest adjustment setting a bolt interferes with the adjustment lever and can't fully seat; it could just be mine or a defect in the adjustment system. The Battery indicator on my mower doesn't do anything except blink red once when I start it up, Dewalt said it only lights up when the batteries are completely dead; but that would be kind of pointless as the mower shutting off would tell me the batteries are dead, and we'd have no way to estimate how much run time we have left without an indicator. My self propulsion lever unit is rather loose and has a bit of play where it attaches to the handle. Lastly, the underside of the mower where the blade is at either has a horrible paint job, or a protective coat over the paint, but mine is rough, and has a greenish tint. I don't expect things to be perfect, but every one of the 16 other Dewalt tools I own are great but for $600 the mower just took the wind out of my sails. I'd love your input based on what yours is like!

[@MODERNMILT]

I will have a look at all those issues for you and see if I have the same. Stay tuned

[@jerryfalletta3770]

They may have issued the "U2" version with the 10-aH batteries and the "Y2" version with the 12's.

[@randomrazr]

did u return it

[@ThePugSmuggler]

Yea I returned it and got the first gen Dewalt mower on sale for $250. I already had eight 5ah batteries from other tools and that’s what I use with it. I tried the 10ah and I don’t like them, I prefer to use the 5’s and change them more often, by the time I cycle through them all the first set is charged up again. And if a battery ever goes down and I need to send it off to Dewalt support I got plenty of extras. Takes about three pairs of the 5ah batteries to cut my half an acre in mulching mode. When it’s taller and a little wet it can use up to the fourth set of batteries, but I swap them when the battery indicator gets to 1/3rd battery life, not when they are fully dead. The first gen mower cuts better, is easier to push, and is more comfortable to push then the new models. If you can snag the first gen for $250-$350; DO IT! You can get 5ah batteries affordable on Amazon.

Great video! The instructions that came with the mower were pretty terrible. They are mostly safety precaution stuff in print too small to read.

Bag was too small for mine, anyone else?

[@MODERNMILT]

Too small? Holding capacity?

[@jerryfalletta3770]

After spending 180 miles (three 60-mile round trips) and the associated travel time, plus the time spent troubleshooting this beast, I have returned it to Home Depot. The height adjustment was just not right, and the speed adjustment was more than "quirky"... it just plain did not work. The whole thing proved disappointing as Dewalt stuff was always among the best available, Even one of the peepz at HD commented that they have seen some problems with the Dewalt mowers lately. I really wanted this thing to work and did all within my power to resolve the problems. Dewalt Customer Support appears ill equipped to resolve problems... poor (or no) documentation makes their jobs more difficult. Oh, well... on to more research to find a reasonably good electric mower.
