The trend of cordless outdoor power equipment encompasses all types of tools—from leaf blowers to lawn mowers. Dewalt has jumped into the game by introducing two new cordless lawn mowers, one of which is powered by their 20V MAX and 20V/60V Flexvolt battery platform, which is the same battery that runs their cordless power tool lineup.
Available early 2018 for $399 with battery.
The new Dewalt DCMW220P2 cordless mower is powered by two of their 20V MAX batteries. The same batteries that work with over 100 of their tools and products. Designed for contractor use, this mower is also an ideal choice for homeowners who already have a collection of Dewalt 20V MAX tools. For more heavy duty use the new 40V Dewalt DCMW290H1 is an even better choice.
They both offer a 20-inch metal deck, a folding handle for upright storage, and carrying handles for easy transportation. They can mulch, bag, or rear discharge grass clippings. Additionally, the 2x20V MAX mower features an on-deck LED light board which signals state-of-charge for each pack and indicates when a recharge is needed.

The 2x20V MAX* Brushless Mower is optimized for use with DEWALT construction battery platforms. The two DEWALT 20V MAX* 5.0Ah Batteries (DCB205) work simultaneously to deliver the power demanded by the user and provide flexibility to be used with other tools in the DEWALT 20V MAX* system. The 2x20V MAX* Brushless Mower marks the continued expansion of the DEWALT 20V MAX* system of 100+ products and is also compatible with the DEWALT FLEXVOLT® battery system for maximum flexibility and extended runtime.
The 40V MAX* Brushless Mower is optimized for use in landscaping applications. Powered by one DEWALT 40V MAX* 6.0Ah Battery (DCB406), the 40V MAX* Brushless Mower marks the continued expansion of the 40V MAX* system of outdoor power equipment from DEWALT.
Both the 2x20V MAX* and 40V MAX* Brushless Mowers feature high-efficiency brushless motors to deliver consistent cutting performance. They also both offer a 20” metal deck to cut a large path, a folding handle for upright storage, and front deck and rear deck carrying handles for easy transportation. They can mulch, bag, or rear discharge grass clippings. Additionally, the 2x20V MAX* mower features an on-deck LED light board which signals state-of-charge for each pack and indicates when a recharge is needed.
