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

What happens here

The video transitions to 'The Next Day' for further testing. The initial 5 Ah batteries used previously are shown to be hot, indicating the strain they endured during the mowing. The batteries are then replaced with larger, more powerful 9 Ah DeWalt FlexVolt batteries. This setup is expected to provide significantly improved runtime and power, addressing the main weakness identified with the standard batteries.

Goal: Test mower with higher capacity batteries for improved performance

Tools and materials

  • DeWalt 2x20V Max Lawnmower DeWalt — To be powered by the new batteries
  • DeWalt 5 Ah 20V Max Batteries DeWalt — Comparison with FlexVolt batteries; noted to be hot from previous use
  • DeWalt FlexVolt Batteries — Providing extended power for the mower test

What they say

Hide

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 that that height adjustment. I mean, even for grandma, this thing is good. It just depends. If you have a small lot and you want a quality mower, I recommend it. Obviously, if you're a pro, no. Um, obviously, if you have anything bigger than 3/4 of a tennis court, I would say no. Or any yard that's technically bigger than 3 and 1/2 swipes, unless you want to invest in new batteries or you have flex or something like that. So, that's what I'm saying is if you've already are in DeWalt's line of tools, then this is a natural extension. I mean, yeah, it makes sense for a small like area, you know? Yeah. Well, with these batteries, if you've already got these on hand, it doesn't make sense to go out and buy these cuz this battery itself is like 120 bucks, isn't it? I mean, I don't know. I don't I don't know either. I think it's I think it's like that. So, whatever. It might actually be more. But so, then if you put two of these in, you got $240 in batteries in here, right? And then you got a more for $3.99, right? But it more had pretty good power, right? I mean, maybe it had too much power cuz it was just cranky. I mean, we didn't go through some deep stuff and obviously [Music] we got we're going to throw the two 5 amp hour batteries in and let's go mow and at 6:00 a.m. like just that's cool with electric you can do that. I mean, no one in their right mind gets up this early except for this guy. But So, you push this in. Push that in and then pull. [Music] That's your It's not It's not a safety key. It's just a Don't steal me key. Yeah. They're kids, you know, kids around. Is that dry yet? Yeah, it's dry. Walk on it. All right. So Dan the man's got his lawn mowed already. So this is obviously wet grass. Let's see how she does. That's awesome, dude. That was just killer, man. What a machine. What happened?
