I’m a big fan of my Dewalt 40V XR tools. The string trimmer and blower are a perfect fit for my needs. Last weekend, my old gas lawn mower took a dirt nap, and I was ready to drop some coin on Dewalt’s 40V mower (sight unseen and totally based on how happy I am with the other tools) BUT there is no Dewalt 40V mower? Seems like a gaping hole in their outdoor tool strategy! The next best thing to me looks like the EGO mower, but I don’t want to invest in a whole new battery system or in a product that is only sold by Home Depot. I know the 40V tools only came out in March of 2015, and am wondering if I should expect more tools to be released this March? Seems like there would be a press release or an unveiling at an equipment show to preview the product before general availability.
Does anyone here have a line on Dewalt’s product roll-out cycle for the 40V gear? My lawn is getting taller…
Chainsaw, hedge trimmer and back pack blower….are out but I have not seen a mower.
DeWalt
Come n dewalt pick up the pace.lol
A mower would definitely be an improvement in the 40V line. Not to mention add to the team yellow collection!
Maybe we can get some of the DeWalt reps to chime in on this topic?
Maybe this year at GIE expo.
GIE isn’t till the fall of 2016. I don’t know if Dewalt is going to do a mower. They seemed like they were more interested in just the gas powered hand held tools for the most part.

DeWalt is looking into gas powered?
No they’re looking into electric replacements for gas. The only gas powered I’m aware of are their pressure washers.T75R wrote:

I read a review of that chainsaw and lets just say that the guy was impressed with it.

Sorry I should have worded that better replacing gas powered hand tools.
Man I hope Dewalt is listening cus I would love to add a battery op mower
All in good time.
Black and Decker has a cordless snowblower out. They are not really promoting it though. I think it came too late in the season to be worth marketing this year. A cordless snowblower would be a nice future addition though.

Is that on their 40v platform or do they have a different voltage platform?
im in for a mower, the string trimmer has been awesome. My wife especially loves the simplicity of the battery OPE stuff.
Would be awesome for the home owners
I have “tweeted”@Dewalt many times, and also on all their outdoor YouTube Videos inquiring about a mower. This spring, we are going to get some of their outdoor offerings, including that awesome chainsaw.

There’s a chainsaw coming out this spring? Isn’t it already out? http://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCCS690M1-Lithium-Brushless-Chainsaw/dp/B014A0MO0E
Can you confirm that a mower will be part of that outdoor offering?

Chainsaw is definitely out. Maybe a newer model?
Good chance you may hear more on this sometime this year. A few things have to happen first 🙂

Want to elaborate???
I emailed Dewalt to see what’s up and received this response:
“Thank you for contacting us. At this time we have no plans to offer a 40v XR lawn mower. I apologize if this causes you any inconvenience. Please check back with us in the future for new products. “
That’s either a canned statement or a total bummer! If you’re in the market for outdoor tools and only want a single battery system / fuel type, you may want to look at other manufacturers.

Sorry, I meant I have to wait till spring before I make the purchases. TIA did a couple of In-Action videos of the chainsaw, including a professional tree service.

its all in the details 🙂
Don’t worry, they apparently plan on cementing their reputation with home owners.[emoji14]chadlanthier wrote:

I’m sure that they have some more “tools” aimed directly at homeowners while neglecting the professionals.
Sorry, just a 20v max owner that’s a little unhappy with quality and mostly innovation.
Well they are still filling out the 20v line. Its about this time when companies innovate.
Go get the EGO, it’s a great mower.

I did, and it is. I picked up the 21″ self-propelled EGO with the 7.5Ah 56V battery. $600 bucks from Home Depot’s website (ouch); but man-oh-man, it absolutely tore through 2/3 of an acre of a weeded field last weekend. I did stop to charge for a few minutes, but I needed that break more than the mower did.
Sorry Dewalt, you were too late to the game.
