Dewalt- 1st place for the Worst Lawn Mower of the year

What happens here

The presenter discusses the batteries included with the mower: two 5 Ah 20V Max batteries. He points out that while the mower performs well, the runtime with these batteries is quite limited, estimating only 15-20 minutes. He suggests that while the mower is a good value for its price (around $399), achieving extended runtime would require investing in larger, more expensive batteries, such as DeWalt's FlexVolt line.

Goal: Assess battery life and its impact on performance

said, the run time sucks. I mean, you can put better batteries in it, of course, but that's going to bring the expense up. But I like the steel deck. I like the ease of pushing it around. I mean, it's a really good little trim mower, too, for around little trees, stuff like that. Yeah. You know, especially So, tell me about the run time, though. It's horrible, though. Okay, but tell me about it. What? It's like a little bit over half a tennis court, maybe. Maybe. How many minutes are we talking about? 15 20 minutes maybe, depending. Come on, tell me the truth. Maybe 20 if you push it. No, tell me the truth. 15 20 minutes? I don't know. I mean, time it. What do you think this is? Tools and you know. All right. So, you really did get 15 to 20 minutes out of two 5 amp hour batteries on full charge. Yeah. I mean, we probably probably closer to 15. I mean, I would guess I was just I wasn't going by minutes. I was going by area done. And I did my front yard. Okay. So, let's grab the batteries that came with the mower. I want to see these real quick. We got to fold this down. Otherwise, we're chopping his head off. We're splitting you two apart. Okay, so here's the Are we still rolling? One more time. That pizza smells good. Okay, so this is the two batteries that actually came with the mower. Yes. And the charger. Yes. Okay. And the charger. But can we actually use the 20 volt the 60 volt? Yeah. The flex bolt system in it. Yeah. But then you got gas. Feel feel that. It sucks those packs. Oh, that is hot. It sucks those packs down, dude. Mower, man. So, that's how you know that is your ultimate setup, right? Actually, with 12 amp hours, those are 9 amp hours. Oh, yeah. But, I mean, with this setup, you're looking at a really good run time. Yeah. You know, decent, you know, that's a that's night and day. I mean, it's easy to carry around like
