Now with more power and less noise, this lawnmower gets the job done with extra efficiency.

It is also now easy to create the striped effect on the lawn and a mulching attachment for lawn fertilization. There are five different high settings and also a 55 litre collection bag reducing the need to empty waste too often. With its brushless motor this lawn mower will last for longer and give you premium performance. Sold as a bare unit without batteries or chargers. DeWalt advertises this mower as having the ‘power of corded without the cord’ and it isn’t difficult to see why they’ve made this claim. It comes with two 5.0Ah 18v batteries that deliver great power for a longer period of time, making this the ideal mower for larger lawn areas. Although if you wanted to go one step further, it is possible to power-share between other tools from this range and some users like to insert 2 x 9.0Ah batteries for maximum running time. Note: this mower is also available as a bare tool (no batteries or charger supplied), details of this model can be found here Dewalt DCMW564N.

Despite being fabric, this is a heavy duty grass bag that will stand up to a lot of mowing.

Now that I’ve got an electric Makita mower (DLM464), I can compare the pros and cons of each, which I hope will be useful to others. Another beneficial feature on this mower is the addition of two battery level indicators, that can be clearly seen whilst using the mower. The only negative about this feature is that there is only 3 indicator lights per battery, meaning they are in steps of 33%. This made it difficult when only one light was showing to know whether the battery was 33% charged or about to run out.Without getting into the optional extras, the mower gives a standard range of features (height adjustment, mulching, etc.) which will be fine for probably the majority of situations. Probabaly one thing that could be improved is the basket capacity, which seems a little on the small side. I often found the cut-grass chute would clog at the slightest moisture on the gras ...

Performance in terms of the battery life is difficult to be certain about, in that the mower has only been used a few times so far but battery life seems to be slightly longer with each use, so there may be an element of bedding-in involved. Also, I fitted the mower with two 9Ah batteries, rather than the standard 5Ah, but even on the first use there was just enough power to cut approx. 140m2 of lawn.

Oh and did I mention that this mower can also be stored vertically, reducing the amount of storage space required? Wheels

To be honest, I bought a DeWalt mower almost solely because I already had several batteries (for other DeWalt tools), but have been pleasantly surprised by its capability. If you have ever found mowing the lawn to be a chore, this mower will make it a much more enjoyable experience thanks to the wealth of impressive features. It comes with two 5.0Ah batteries that offer a very generous run time of up to 40 minutes and can be power-shared across the DeWalt range. However, if you already have a vast collection of batteries, there is also the option to buy the bare model, the DeWalt DCMW564N. In addition to this, the ergonomically designed handle offers comfort and easy access to the controls across the width of the handle. This is ideal for both left and right-handers and of course, for operating around corners single handed. There is a conveniently placed power actuation button making the mower easy to switch on and off. Furthermore, the handle folds down for easy and compact storage, and is made from aluminium making it lightweight, yet incredibly robust. Ergonomic push handle design allows easy and comfortable steering and robust, lightweight aluminium handles.Ergonomic push handle design allows easy and comfortable steering and robust, lightweight aluminium handles In terms of how this lawn mower performs, I have to say that I was astonished with the results. The mower boasts a 2-in-1 function which gives you the freedom to mow the lawn in your preferred way. There is the option to cut and collect the grass cuttings. The mower comes with a mulching plug, which I will discuss in a bit more detail later on.

If you are looking for a powerful cordless mower from a premium brand that produces quality garden tools then look not further; the Dewalt DCMW563P2 will be right up your street. While you will need to make a more substantial investment on this mower compared to some other cordless models, the advantages of doing so are clear. This is a machine built for power and ease of use. Performance is good, in that the mower is reasonably quiet (certainly quieter than my old petrol mower) and it seems able to handle slightly damp grass. So far, there is no evidence of "tugging" clumps of grass, which my previous mower would do from time-to-time. Bought this mower 4 years ago, coming from using a petrol mower, having had reasonable experience with other Dewalt tools and wanting to avoid needing 1000 different chargers and batteries. There are so many things that make this DeWalt DCMW564P2 mower easy to operate. With all of the manoeuvrability features combined, getting around the garden has never been easier. Furthermore, the conveniently placed power button makes switching the mower on and off effortless.I was initially reluctant to buy this mower because I wanted a higher-powered one running at 54V and was hoping DeWalt would soon release one. However when I called DeWalt to ask about it, I was told no such mower was on the cards, and that this mower was actually well-rated by customers. Having used it though, I think a 54V version is indeed needed, though I presume it’d have to run with the larger batteries to achieve reasonable runtime (12 Ah or 15 Ah). Or maybe running two 54V batteries in series to provide 108V would be the way to go? I hope the engineers are working on it. The DeWalt DCMW564P2 mower benefits from a robust brushless motor, which is designed to be longer-lasting and provide a greater run time. Furthermore, this type of motor runs much more quietly, so mowing doesn’t have to be something that disturbs the peace.
