The DEWALT 60V MAX 21-in. Brushless Cordless RWD Self-Propelled Lawn Mower Kit, model DCMWSP700Y2, is a battery-powered self-propelled lawn mower built for homeowners who want gas-free mowing without giving up runtime, traction, or cutting performance. This is a self-propelled lawn mower designed for residential grass cutting on small to medium and larger hard-to-mow properties. If you are maintaining uneven ground, thicker seasonal growth, or a yard where pushing a basic walk-behind gets old fast, this setup makes a lot more sense than an entry-level cordless mower.

What sets this mower apart is how DEWALT built the whole package around real mowing needs instead of just chasing cordless convenience. The 21 inch steel cutting deck uses a high-efficiency cutting system with dual blades, which helps it cut more cleanly and move clippings better than a basic single-blade setup. You also get 3-in-1 functionality for mulching, side discharge, and bagging, so you can set the mower up for routine weekly maintenance, spring overgrowth, or leaf-heavy cleanup without changing machines.

The power system is centered around a brushless AutoSense motor and two included DEWALT FLEXVOLT batteries. DEWALT rates the mower for up to 85 minutes of runtime using both fully charged DCB612 batteries in succession. That matters because runtime claims are only useful if the kit actually includes enough battery to get there, and here it does. For buyers looking at cordless lawn equipment for larger sections of property, the included battery pair and chargers make this a ready-to-work kit instead of a bare-tool commitment that still needs more investment.

On the ground, the rear wheel drive setup is a big part of the appeal. Front-wheel-drive mowers can lose pull when the bag gets heavier or when the terrain gets rough. Rear wheel drive does a better job maintaining traction on slopes, uneven lawns, and bumpy sections near tree roots or landscape edging. DEWALT also adds a speed dial so you can match the self-propel pace to how you actually mow instead of being forced to keep up with a fixed speed.

This mower is also set up for changing conditions. Selectable cutting modes let you choose ECO mode to stretch runtime, Boost mode when grass is thick and heavy, or AutoSense to let the mower adjust blade speed to cutting conditions automatically. That is a practical feature, not fluff. Short, dry grass does not need the same blade response as damp growth or a lawn that got skipped for a week, and the ability to tune for that helps balance cut quality against battery use.

DEWALT did not ignore visibility and feedback either. The integrated dual LED headlights let you mow in low-light conditions, which is useful if you are getting yard work done early or late without dragging out extra lighting. The LED dashboard gives you battery state-of-charge, cutting mode information, and mower feedback right where you can see it. On a cordless mower, clear battery and mode feedback saves guesswork and helps you avoid running one pack dead unexpectedly.

Storage is another jobsite-style practical win. The one-touch handle system quickly telescopes and folds the mower for vertical storage, taking up up to 80% less space versus the mower in operation. If your garage already has shelving, bikes, bins, and power equipment fighting for room, that is not a small detail. It makes this mower easier to own, not just easier to use.

Compatibility is straightforward: this kit runs on the DEWALT FLEXVOLT 60V battery platform and comes with two DCB612 batteries and two DCB1104 chargers. That gives existing DEWALT users a clear platform fit, and for first-time buyers it means the mower is usable right out of the box. The adjustable 6-setting single-point height lever rounds things out by making height changes quick when lawn conditions shift from front yard to back yard.

Who should buy it? This mower is a strong fit for homeowners who want a serious cordless self-propelled mower for residential lawn care, especially if the yard includes uneven terrain, heavier grass, or enough square footage that runtime matters. It is also a good pick for DEWALT users already on FLEXVOLT who want one battery platform pulling double duty between outdoor power equipment and heavy cordless tools.

A cordless mower that is actually built for more than quick touch-ups

The DEWALT 60V MAX 21-in. Brushless Cordless RWD Self-Propelled Lawn Mower Kit gets the important stuff right: runtime, traction, deck durability, and a complete kit with real battery capacity.

• Who it's for: Homeowners with enough yard to care about runtime, or anyone mowing uneven ground who wants rear wheel drive instead of wrestling a push mower.
• Why it stands out: The dual-blade 21 inch steel deck, rear wheel drive, selectable cutting modes, and two included 12.0Ah batteries make it feel like a serious lawn tool, not a stripped-down cordless alternative.
• Worth knowing: At 87.5 pounds, this is not a featherweight mower, but the self-propelled drive helps offset that, and the folding vertical-storage design makes ownership easier once the job is done.

• Is this a self-propelled mower? Yes. It is a rear-wheel-drive self-propelled mower with a speed dial so you can adjust the walking pace.
• Does it mulch, bag, and discharge? Yes. It supports 3-in-1 operation with mulching, side discharge, and bagging.
• How long does it run? DEWALT rates it for up to 85 minutes of runtime using both included batteries in succession.
• Can it be stored upright? Yes. The one-touch telescoping and folding handle is designed for vertical storage and can reduce storage space by up to 80% versus the operating position.
