I've noticed that Dewalt mowers seem to have fewer reviews compared to other brands out there, especially on platforms like YouTube where every other electric mower gets tested. Does anyone know why this is the case? Are they just not popular, or is there another reason?

I've had my 20V Dewalt mower for over four years now, and I’m quite happy with it! It handles my somewhat flat 1/4 and 1/2 acre lawns really well. My only complaint is that sometimes I wish it could cut a bit shorter than its lowest setting. Overall, though, it’s been a reliable choice for me.
It might also be a supply issue, as certain Dewalt models like the DCMWSP700Y2 are new. I've read some users mention they had trouble finding them in stores. Plus, some earlier models faced recalls for water issues, which could have led to less availability and fewer reviews during that time. I’ve seen some videos out there on older models, but not enough about the new ones.
One reason could be that Dewalt's electric mowers, like the 60V models, are significantly pricier—often by 50% or even 100% compared to brands like Ryobi or Black & Decker. For many folks, spending around $800 on a push mower isn’t a sensible choice when there are solid options for much less. It might be tough to justifiably spend that much money for a smaller yard when more affordable alternatives exist.
