DeWalt DCMWSP156N-XJ Self-Propelled Lawn Mower
Home and Garden February 11, 2025
My partner has been in a long-term toxic relationship with our lawn mower, he hated everything about it, the small grass bin, weak battery and its delicate disposition when it came to acorns. After every encounter with it he swore he was getting a new one but never did until the DeWalt arrived in the office and that abusive old mower was finally kicked to the curb, somewhat literally.
Like a cliché this new model is younger, fitter and better looking the DCMWSP156N-XJ comes with a high-efficiency cutting system with dual blades, designed for extended runtime and cutting performance. The 53cm steel deck mower has an autosensing brushless motor, engineered for durability and can keep going for up to 64 minutes of, ideal for lawns measuring up to 1340m squared, far larger than ours.
This mower is wonderfully quiet (unlike our neighbour’s petrol mower) thanks to the two 18v XR 8.0AH batteries, unfortunately batteries and charger sold separately but the good news is it is part of the cordless 18V XR System and fully compatible with over 250 other products. It comes equipped with a mulching plug for natural lawn fertilization as well as a generous 67L capacity mesh fabric bag for cut-free lawn aesthetics. It has been designed to be comfortable with a simple height adjustment function alongside a simple one-touch folding handle for easy and compact storage. There is a handy LED indicator on the handle that lets you know charge status, as well as cutting system difficulty, blade end of life and a load meter to let you know when to empty the grass bin.
Other features include the selectable ideal walking pace with variable speed, rear wheel drive, single point height adjust system with six cutting settings, from 25mm-102mm. It is a real pleasure to use, the self-propelling mechanism takes out the hard work and it had no problem with our acorns, it has a solid and robust design that give me faith that this one will be sticking around for awhile.
