Which is better for a sloped yard?

The DCMW220P2. It is self-propelled with auto-sensing speed, so it pulls itself up slopes. The DCMWP233U2 is a push mower and will take more effort on hills.

Do they use the same batteries?

Yes. Both run on two 20V MAX 10Ah packs and come with two batteries included, so packs are interchangeable with other DeWalt 20V MAX tools.

Which has longer runtime?

DeWalt rates the DCMWP233U2 at up to 75 minutes on two 10Ah batteries. The DCMW220P2 listing does not publish a runtime figure, and self-propelled drive uses some battery power.

Is the self-propelled model worth the extra?

If your lawn is large or sloped, yes. If it is flat and under about half an acre, the push DCMWP233U2 does the same cutting with less weight and simpler mechanics.

Which is easier to store?

The DCMWP233U2. Its fold-over handle allows vertical storage with up to 70% less footprint. The DCMW220P2 folds its handle but has no vertical-storage claim.

Do both mulch, bag and discharge?

Yes. Both are 3-in-1 mowers with mulch, bag and side discharge, a 21.5-inch steel deck and 6 cutting heights from 1.5 to 4 inches.
