Our take on the DeWalt 28-Inch Self-Propelled Mower

The DeWalt 28-Inch Self-Propelled Mower is a gas walk-behind with a wide 28-inch dual-blade steel deck, a 224cc electronically governed engine, and rear-wheel drive with front casters. Its main draw is cutting time: the deck is about a third wider than a standard 21-inch mower, and the electronic governor holds power in thick grass. It is heavy at 160 lb and starts with a pull cord, not electric start. No current price was provided, so check the live comparison against its recent range before buying.

Questions and answers

Is the DeWalt 28-inch mower worth it?
It suits large lawns where the wide deck saves real time. If your yard is small or has narrow gates, a lighter 21-inch mower is easier to live with.
How does it compare with a 21-inch mower?
The 28-inch dual-blade deck is about 33% wider, so fewer passes on big lawns. The trade-off is 160 lb of weight and a wider footprint.
Does it have electric start?
No. It uses a pull cord, though the engine has an automatic compression release to ease pulling.
How much lawn can it handle?
DeWalt rates it for about 0.8 acre. The governed 224cc engine is built to keep power in thick grass.
What comes in the box?
The mower, the 2.0 bushel bagger, and side-discharge and mulching setup. Confirm the exact contents with the store before ordering.
When is it cheapest?
Gas mowers usually drop in late fall and winter, and around spring sales events. Watch the price history rather than buying on the first listing you see.
