Assembly: Easy Peasy or Stupidly Difficult?
We are going to start by telling you what you want to hear: the assembly of this mower really isn’t that difficult. Good news, right?! The instruction manual really won’t help you a lot though as its pretty poorly written, but luckily as assembly is simple you shouldn’t really need it (look at the packaging, that will probably be more helpful to be honest). Assembly pretty much just consists of attaching the handle bar with the screws which are provided with the mower. Something else to note, included in the box are two little plastic clips which AREN’T listed in the instructions. These are for keeping the power cord connected to the mower. You should be up and running within 5-10 minutes of unpacking this mower.

Sun Joe MJ401E-PRO 13 mower: User reviews
Out of 1,217 reviews on Amazon, the Sun Joe MJ40E PRO-13 sits at a solid 4.4 out of 5 stars. 68% of these reviews were 5 stars. A similar trend continues on Snow Joe’s website, with an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars generated from 21 reviews. None of these reviews dipped below 3 stars, with 71% being a perfect score.
The prevailing opinion of the Sun Joe MJ401E-PRO 13 throughout its many user reviews is that it is slightly unusual, but incredibly effective for its price. According to reviews, the process for adjusting the cutting height is a bit difficult and sometimes slips back into lower positions.
Many high rating reviews comment on the product’s maneuverability and power for its size. Its ease of use is also praised. One 5 out of 5 stars review in particular was written by a first time mower, who found the simplicity incredibly appealing. average 3-star reviews mentioned that the product is great value, but the 14-inch blade width does not quite cut it for them.
Should you buy the Sun Joe MJ401E-PRO 13?
If you are looking for a lightweight mower that you can move around with no issue, the Sun Joe MJ401E-PRO 13 is the mower for you. Its small but mighty 13-amp engine gives it enough cutting power to handle some surprisingly tall grass in yards no bigger than a quarter acre.
Of course, the fact this mower is best for quarter acre lawns does have its downsides. Even for small gardens, this 14-inch blade is quite small, and will mean more effort is needed than with a 20-inch wide blade. The Sun Joe MJ40E-PRO 13 is, however, a great budget buy for novice gardeners with small yards. For our top pick of electric mowers overall, read our EGO Power 21-inch LM2102 review.
Amazing little mower~
I love my mower! I have 7,000 sq. foot lawn and this mower cuts it in no time. It’s very light so it’s easy to carry up and down my back lawn steps. It’s not very loud and because of it being light weight. it maneuvers easily. The price is right too and with gas going up, having an electric mower cuts costs! The only down side to this mower is the grass catcher is tiny. so I just took mine off. Performance I hate to admit it but I’ve run over some thick branches (inch diameter) and this mower just whacked them to pieces without stopping.
After years of dealing with gas mowers that wouldn’t start, measuring fuel stabilizer, and replacing parts, I received my Sun Joe Mow Joe electric lawnmower yesterday and absolutely love it! It’s like vacuuming the front yard. I will no longer pull muscles in my back or have to wait for my husband to start the mower ever again. 1 button start. It took about 15 minutes to put together AND I’m” instructionally-challenged.” It had very easy to understand directions. I wouldn’t allow your grass to get too tall though before you mow. I don’t think it could handle it. When I first took it out of the box, I was a little worried. The mower looked and felt like a toy. It was extremely light compared to all the gas mowers I have owned, but it proved itself worthy.It comes with a grass catcher and dumping proved a little tedious. I would suggest not allowing it to become too full. When taking it off, grass would easily spill out. Also, if you allow it to become compacted, it can be difficult to shake out. I’ve always owned mulching mowers so I wouldn’t have to deal with this. But I have to admit, after mowing, I just had to sit and admire my manicured lawn. No lines of leftover grass. I would also suggest that you make sure you get the right outdoor electric cord. Our mower is 12 amp. Most 100ft Coleman cords are only 10 amp. My husband says that will ruin your mower. He suggested I get 2 x 50 ft Coleman 13 amp to maintain the power performance of our machine. I also bought a reconditioned one it looked brand new. It was very reasonably priced, even for a brand new model too If you are older, or our tired of messing with the hassle of gas mowers and all their problems, this mowers for you. Update: Bought this in March 2011, it’s now May 2013 this little beauty is still doing a great job. I love how small a space it takes up in our outdoor storage. I will admit that I quit using the grass catcher though as we have about 1/2 acre to mow dumping it every 3 stripes got old real quick. Mower runs without the catcher I haven’t had a problem doing it for the past year. If I want the yard to look particularly nice, I just throw it back on within a matter of seconds. It just takes longer to do the yard, but if you have a tiny yard, the catcher should be just right.
