DeWalt 2X20V MAX XR Cordless RWD Self Propelled Mower Kit DCMWSP256U2 vs DeWalt 20V MAX Cordless 21.5-Inch Brushless Mower with Battery and Charger (DCMWP233U2)

Buy the DCMWSP256U2 if your lawn is sloped or larger than half an acre: rear-wheel drive and up to 80 minutes of runtime do the work. Buy the DCMWP233U2 if your yard is flat and you want to spend less: it is a push mower with a wider 21.5-inch deck and a 3-year limited warranty. The DCMWSP256U2 costs more than the DCMWP233U2, so the self-propelled drive is the main thing you pay for.

    Questions and answers

    Which is better for a sloped yard?
    The DCMWSP256U2. Its rear-wheel drive pulls the mower up slopes, and the speed dial lets you match your walking pace. The DCMWP233U2 is push only, so you supply all the effort on a hill.
    Is the self-propelled model worth the extra money?
    Yes if you have a slope or more than half an acre. On flat ground under half an acre, the DCMWP233U2 does the same cutting job for less.
    Which cuts longer on one charge?
    The DCMWSP256U2, at up to 80 minutes versus up to 75 minutes for the DCMWP233U2. Both figures assume both included 10Ah batteries used in succession.
    Which is easier to store?
    The DCMWSP256U2 folds to 82% less space with one-touch vertical storage. The DCMWP233U2 folds to 70% less space.
    Do both mulch, bag, and side discharge?
    Yes. Both are 3-in-1 mowers with mulch plug, grass bag, and side discharge chute.
    Which has the better warranty?
    The DCMWP233U2 lists a 3-year limited warranty. The DCMWSP256U2 listing does not state one, so check before buying.
