Sun Joe MJ401C-PRO 14in 28V Push Lawn Mower

I would rate the 'mower itself' (when fully charged) 7/10; Battery 1/10 👎 I was very excited to try this mower especially how lightweight and easy it is to start and operate. • The charger plugs right into the mower (wish it had a charging indicator aside). • The mower itself does have a 3 level push button battery indicator but you have to wait until the mower is half way or full to test — but it's not always accurate. • Very easy to start - pull the lever and hit the start button. I absolutely loved how extremely lightweight it is - just like pushing a vacuum. • The mulcher bag it comes with was a nice accessory.....so I thought. It fills up with just one pass (my grass was cut 1.5 weeks prior). It was more of a pain and time consuming, to keep having to empty, so I took it off. The other drawback is how much grass builds up and clogs (dry/damp grass) - that happens with mulcher & without. I had to frequently stop to clear the discharge flap that leaves a mound/pile of grass. I wish it has a side discharge. •Grass-cutting height has 3 manual modes to adjust. I personally didn't see a difference when adjusting. **This mower cuts the grass VERY SHORT- some may not like that especially with new greener grass, or sod. I personally think the grass-cut length is perfect 👌 •The mower will just randomly shut-off during use. You can hear the motor winding down & shuts off. What seemed to help - is allowing it to run for 20-30 seconds prior to mowing. ***MOST IMPORTANT PART = THE BATTERY. Without a good running battery you have no mower. The battery 🔋 is absolute junk junk junk junk! I was NOT expecting the mower to run for 45min or 1-hour but at least 20-30 min tops. Nope - dies quickly. **The listing says with the mower can continously cut up to a quarter acre/ 2150 sq. ft per charge. That is NOT TRUE! At least with the mower I received. • Charging the battery: it takes forever to fully charge. Over the course of a few days, I played around with the battery time when it was fully dead; charged for 3 hours & it didn't put a dent in charging > 6-7 hours battery level was half charged > I started leaving it overnight to fully charge. • I have attached photo of the areas I mowed on a SINGLE CHARGE! It took me 3 days to cut the entire lawn. I even caved in and used the gas mower at the end. • Aside from the battery- I do like the mower 14" size & being lightweight for slim/tight spaces and very small area's. ⭐️➡️➡️ I ended up purchasing a Gr--n W--Ks 20" brushless with TWO rapid chargers. Wow, wow! OMGSH, what a difference all around!!!! I finished my entire yard on a full charge with plenty of battery left. I wish I could return this! But it's too late. Before I purchase the second mower, I wish I wasn't a cheapo and spent more money. Now it cost me even more with the second purchase. I have attached photos of the areas I mowed on a SINGLE CHARGE! It took me 3 days to cut the entire front/back/sides of my yard. I even caved in and used the gas mower at the end. ➡️ If you're looking for a budget mower to cut your small to average size yard, I would suggest $AVE yourself time & get a better mower with a heavier battery - preferably a 'dual battery' mower — the comparison is so night/day. This mower is only good for tight narrow, extremely small yards or sections. *** If money is tight, look on Amazon for an open box deal aka 'Used- like new, Used-good, Used- acceptable' condition — those are customer returns not previously 'used' products or the packaging is damaged or has been repackaged. I save over 50-75% buying that way. 95% of products I purchased, have NEVER been opened. Don't go to warehouse deals section page, a majority of products don't show up there. I would look for a product & see if it offers open box prices OR you can filter your search by going to condition > used. I hope my review was helpful!
