TrimmerMatt Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 I would buy this if it was self propelled. Dewalt should do a 22" self propelled 120v. I know I would buy it. I'm sick of cleaning the carburetor and stinking like gas 1-2 times a year with the Husqvarna I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I have the Ego self propelled model the battery mowers are so much lighter you don't really notice it like an old heavy gas model. If you have a bigger yard with hills maybe you still want a self propelled model. Just my experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrimmerMatt Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 My yard is all hills, especially the front. I wouldn't do it without being self propelled. If my mower completely died I would get an ego self propelled but would prefer DeWalt to come out with something better so I can use my flexvolt batteries. I only have 7 9.0 and 6 6.0's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottydoesnt Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 So, I just preordered mine from Acme. They had a coupon code going on, which made the price very appealing. I really wish the release date would get firmed up a bit. Some say April, some say May. I’ve got a new house and don’t own a mower yet, so i don’t want to get caught too late into the season. I’m also curious to why they don’t include (2) of the 6ah 20v batteries. Doesn’t bother me too bad since i own some flexvolt batteries though. I’m also a little bummed about it being a 20” and not a 21” or 22”, but not a deal breaker. Now I’ve just got to find a good mulching blade for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTuras Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 I just went ahead and ordered mine from Acme also. I have a 15 year old self propelled Toro that still works pretty well so I should be ok if it gets delayed a bit. It is my last gas device. I was hoping for a 22" or self propelled also but hopefully at least that means the mower will never bog down since all power can be diverted to cutting instead of propelling it. You mention, needing to find a good mulching blade. Have you already heard or seen that the blade it comes with is not sufficient for that?

scottydoesnt Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I just received shipping and tracking info from Acme last night for the 2x20v mower. Says I should have it Monday, so that is awesome news. Surprising there hasn’t been much press or previews floating around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTuras Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Sweet, I just checked and got mine too. It should be here next Tuesday for me. I am excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTuras Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Mine came in. Unfortunately is was raining all day so I was not able to really try it. It seems fairly solid but not sure about the key. It does not always go on easily and worry it could break over time. I also wonder about the padding/grip material at the top of the handle bars. Between the dirt and sweat I see that as potentially wearing down and falling apart quickly. But the most important part about how it cuts/bags/mulches will have to wait until this weekend.

It's made of similar stuff to those stress balls. I'm just waiting for mine to fall apart. It should have been hard rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not given a affirmative yes on getting a sample myself. I checked out the 40-volt version my local Lowe's store had in stock. I was not overly impressed with the build quality. The handle is a pain to put up and down.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTuras Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 It does look to be the material as the string trimmer. With that maybe it will hold up a little better than I thought. I have had the string trimmer for 2 years now and so far so good. I am just a home owner though so only use it once a week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTuras Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 SO it cut and bagged fairly well on the first cut. The cut was clean. The two batteries it came with though did not make it through the whole yard. I have a quarter acre plot and it only made it about 75% of the way through.I think I getting a pair of the 9AH Flexvolt batteries will definitely help. I was bagging, not mulching. I don't know if that takes more energy pushing the grass into the bag or not but it was a little to tall to mulch. Next week I will try mulching instead. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find mulching to put the most strain on a mower so if I were to guess you would get less runtime by mulching. Could wait for the 12 ah batteries to come out then maybe the 9 ah will be priced lower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTuras Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Scotty, wondering what your thoughts on your unit were? I am happy with the performance of the unit but still not with the batteries. I mulched my yard using two 9ah Flexvolt batteries and was able to complete the yard. I did have about 5 strips that it would not make it through as it was just to tall and kept bogging down. I had to put on fresh batteries for that. I just don't by that the two included 5ah batteries would be able to do 1/4 acre unless on it is not actually cutting anything and just running while you go over the lawn. I think they should of included those to begin with. It will take longer to recoup the value of no gas with the added price. But the convenience of no gas is nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 @BigTuras do you notice any power increase by using the flex 9's over the 5.0's? I'm sure the runtime is close to double? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTuras Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 On normal grass I did not. When trying to go through the tall grass I did notice a little less bogging down. It did give me a good amount more run time. Not quite double but sooooo much more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bremon Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 My lawn is 1/40th of an acre so I think a pair of FlexVolt 3.0/9.0s hits the spot lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrosBros82 Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 This look cool. I apologize for asking, as I am sure that someone else already has.... but why wouldn't they make this a 60v? I get that you can use the batteries, but in terms of optimal power wouldn't that be the way to go? FB82 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 You can get the same power out of 20v Max as 60v Max if you build it right, and 20v Max casts a wider net with the homeowner demographic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
