Same!... as to the largest battery tool of the Dewalt line that I own. I picked one up over the weekend. I was nervous as there are soo many bad reviews about Dewalt's mower line. I am pleased with it, I do have a small lawn but it was able to get through some wet tall grass without issues. The girl friend was pleased that she can be outside without having to deal with gas fumes, oil smells and a loud mower. A big plus right there.
When Dewalt came out with the original mower with the 5ah batteries, was not a smart move. Not enough power. The 10ah ones seem better but like a lot of people said, those batteries get hot. I'm hoping these 12ah flexvolt, best of battery line, are up to the challenge. The biggest down fall I've heard about these mowers are if the blade gets a bent in it, the motor senses the imbalance and causes it to shutdown right away. I'll probably pick up another blade just for that reason.
Congrats on the new tool! have fun with the 12ah battery and blower, don't blow away! 😆
