## Description

desertcart.com : Sun Joe MJ403E Mow Joe 17-Inch 13-Amp Electric Lawn Mower/Mulcher : Walk Behind Lawn Mowers : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: I was happy but not now! - EDIT: Mower is dead! even with the heavier gauge extension cord the motor burned up. I bought this mower based upon the reviews about the great replacement policy. I called customer service, and after an hour on hold I was told to ship back the mower and they’d send a replacement. When I said I don’t keep boxes around for 2 years big enough for a mower “Ace” said he got permission to ship the new one first so I’d have a box. He verified availability and said in 24-48 hrs I’d get shipping confirmation. Great!! Well, 2 weeks later still no confirmation and still no mower! Called again, waited a long time again battled through the language differences with the Philippines call center again, and “Lyn” said there was no record of a call ever from me! Bull$&#%, I read the email to her from “Ace” and she suddenly found record of the call from me but said found no record of a request for a box to be shipped. Good lord, I don’t want a box shipped I want a mower shipped! Then she said she found a notice of a failed delivery attempt by ups for the same day; how could they attempt to deliver it on the same day that I called sun joe. She was obviously either clueless or making stuff up. Finally, she admitted no request to ship me a mower had ever been done! Now she says buy my own box, ship the mower to them and then I’ll get my replacement mower. So after a month without a mower I’m back to square 1. What a waste of my time waiting on hold for an hour each time and calling. I asked to speak to a supervisor and she said they were all busy so I couldn’t speak to them, of course! I’m very disappointed not only in the mower but also the warranty support so far. This mower is really small, really lightweight like a toy but it really works! Chopped thru some high grass but as others have said once you get some grass in the bag it tips backward from any weight in the bag. Plus, if you let the bag get full the plastic handle releases from the bag when you try to remove it from the mower. I've learned to empty the bag very quickly so that there is very little weight in the bag to tip the mower backwards or to cause the handle to release again. This means that the small cutting area of the mower, combined with the really small little bag and the fact that I have to empty the bag so often means that cutting even a small yard takes much longer than my bigger electric B&D mower with full size bag. However, it's lightweight is great for my arthritic hands and back. Although it takes longer to mow and more bag changes it doesn't leave my hands in pain for the rest of the day. Plus, their 2 yr warranty sealed the deal!
Review: Customer satisfaction in a small package - Who would ever have thunk it! This rather miniscule apparatus is a veritable powerhouse of smoothly applied, capable, and reliable grass-cutting might. It starts easily and seemingly effortlessly slices through even grass that has perhaps inadvertently been given time to grow in an unruly fashion. Its light overall weight (an undeniable plus for seniors such as I, to be sure!) makes it possible to deftly maneuver with this machine over virtually any terrain. It is relatively quiet and its cutting edge easily leaves a uniformly evenly cut swath. Initially, I had trepidations about giving up an additional 4 inches in width in the swath the machine cut, since my previous mower cut a swath 21 inches wide. Yet, what this Moe Joe lacks in blade cutting width, it easily makes up for in the ease and precision with which it does smoothly cut. Assembly is minimal and can be easily handled. I would, however, mention that buyers of this product should remember to remove the mulching attachment (if not immediately needed) which, at least in my case, came already installed on the machine as it came out of the carton. The plastic handle to the grass catcher may also require a little patience to make sure that it seats properly and remains in place. That said, I would still recommend this machine to other clients looking for a lightweight yet sturdy, easily maneuverable, relatively quiet, efficient, and adequately powerful lawn mower.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What gauge extension cord is required for the 13 amp sun joe?**
A: Taken from reviews: "I have had my Moe Joe over a year now and it is still going strong despite being left out in the weather and otherwise abused. The Mow Joe is a good product but it is being sabotaged by Amazon and unfairly reviewed for two reasons:1. The Mow Joe 14" has a 12 amp motor. Amazon is bundling it with a 16 gauge extension cord, despite the fact the manual states that for extension cord lengths under 100ft, a 14 gauge cord is required. For lengths of 100ft or more a 12 gauge cord is required (gauges work backward so a smaller gauge is a thicker wire). Trying to pull 12 amps of power through a little 16 gauge 100ft cord will burn out any electric motor pretty quick. That is why all these reviews complaining about the motor dying after a few weeks bother me. Either through ignorance or cheapness people use an under rated extension cord and blame it on the mower. Amazon could help by not recommending a cord that will destroy the motor.2. Electric mowers by nature are maintenance mowers. It is assumed that you will be cutting your grass regularly before it gets so tall you are losing small children in it. If your grass in knee high then borrow your neighbors gas mower and get it to a manageable height and then keep it maintained with your nice quiet, lightweight, electric mower. Even the powerful 12 amp motor on this mower will have big problems with out of control grass, including blade stalling and premature motor failure.In short the Mow Joe 14" is a great mower if you use it how it's designed to be used and don't abuse it."

**Q: Is this mower self-propelled?**
A: It doesn't need to be. It's lighter and easier to use than my previous combustion-engine self-propelled mower. The electric mower and lightweight design mean I can easily push this with one hand, despite my arthritis.

**Q: Has anyone used the 17" model on burmuda grass?  What were the results?**
A: Reel mower works better on Bermuda grass.

**Q: does anyone know where i can buy the round green attachment (with bolt) that holds blade in place?**
A: Try calling Sun Joe 1-866-766-9563 because that part is not listed on their website.

### ⭐ Terrible Electric Mower
*by R***K on September 15, 2021*

I don't normally write reviews but I felt like I had to for this mower. I have been using electric mowers for 20 years. They seem to last about 2 to 3 years. I bought this mower in June and it did not last a month before the engine burned out. I contacted their customer service and they sent me a new replacement mower. I bumped the side of the new mower on a pole while trying to cut around the pole and the blade took off a piece of the side of the mower. Also, there is plastic that keeps the blade in place under the mower. That plastic on the new mower wore down within about 3 weeks and now the blade doesn't stay in place while the mower is running making an awful noise while using it (probably dangerous as well). Finally decided to just buy another brand. Hopefully I have better luck with the new one.
