It is ETL approved, which means that the company who makes the mower and the mower itself are inspected to ensure that you are getting a quality product that it is made right.

Sun Joe MJ408E Electric Lawn Mower PARTS

Sun Joe MJ408E

The handle on this mower is padded for comfort and an easier, better grip. The safety bar is in front of the handlebar. All you have to do is hold down the safety bar and press the start button, that’s it! No gas fumes, no yanking on a start cord, no loud noise. These mowers are very quiet, so they will never bother your neighbors and you can actually talk to someone while you mow if you needed to.

The rear wheels are 10 inches, and the front wheels are 7 inches, which is common among most electric mowers.

The body of the Sun Joe MJ408E mower is mostly plastic and has 7 height adjustments that cuts the grass up to 4 inches high.

This is a 3-in-1 mower, meaning that it mulches, bags, or discharges the grass off to the side. Most people like to mulch since it helps to fertilize their lawn, and they don’t have to keep emptying the grass bag along the way or rake after they’re done mowing. However, the grass bag itself is 14.5 gallons if you need or want to bag the grass as you mow, which is bigger than some of the other electric mowers.

Sun Joe MJ408E POWER Packs A Punch!

The Sun Joe MJ408E electric lawnmower has 12 amps of power, which is about the average of most electric mowers. It is corded, so you will need to buy an extension cord if you don’t already have one. It needs to be powerful enough to deliver 12 amps to the mower.

Some people don’t like dealing with a cord, but once you set up a pattern for the way you are going to mow, it shouldn’t get in the way at all. You can also buy a cord reel to easily wrap up the cord when you are done mowing.

If you have a small yard, a cordless mower should do pretty well, if you don’t want to deal with a cord. Batteries need to be recharged and maintained over the winter, so the corded and cordless both have their advantages/disadvantages.

STORING The Sun Joe MJ408E

The handle folds down for easy, space saving storage. The mower weighs 51.8 pounds, so you may or may not need help, depending on your situation. You can store this outside if you live in a dry climate, but if you don’t, you can still buy a lawn mower cover for it to keep the handle from rusting. It is not wise though to cover it in a plastic sheet, as that will trap moisture and may harm the electrical parts of the mower.
