Pros
- Noise level is quite lower when compared to gas models
- Lightweight and very easy to move around and mow at ease (less than 30 Ibs)
- One of the easiest mowers to push on the market and provides a nice exercise for you also
- No gas or oil to worry about and little to no maintenance is involved.
- Perfect for families who have a small front or back town house type lawn
- Simple to assemble and gets mowing quickly and efficiently
- Most people find the middle notch level gives the best results
- 2 year warranty is a major plus
- For smaller lawns – this Lawn Mower is difficult to beat. Once you manage the cord and the height, this has performed better than expected in many cases for so many mowers.
Cons
- Doesn’t have the full power associated to a gas mower
- Only suitable for town house type small to medium front /rear lawns in my opinion
- Associated danger of having an electric cord lying on your lawn as you mow (must be extra careful)
- Long cords can be difficult to work around at times on the lawn as you mow
- Mow width is only 14 inches wide so additional time is needed to get the job done
- Grass collection bag is quite small so additional trips are need for disposal
- Struggles with heavy thick grass growth
- The lowest level on the mower can prove to be very difficult to work with whereas the middle notch or top level works a whole lot better.

I have been in the market for a small electric or battery powered lawn mower, so I am glad I found this review. I have a pretty small yard and my gas powered mower is finally dead. I don’t need a giant lawn mower, so I was considering a small one, that is a lot less noisy. My old lawnmower woke up everyone in the neighborhood. The only thing that concerns me with a corded lawnmower, is just that, dragging the cord around. But, it’s pretty inexpensive, and it would serve my needs. Thanks for sharing this review, now I have more to think about.
That’s awesome and thanks for taking the time to leave your comment. The cord can be mastered easily once you get the hang of it and best of luck if you decide to go ahead with it.
Howdy Paul, There is nothing like a nice freshly cut lawn that looks so beautiful and really give that wow. What also amazes me is these kind of sun joe electric lawn mowers do such a good job that these machines are better than the gas mowers as they are so much more healthier – no fumes!!!!. I really appreciate all your work, other reviews I see only have one set of prices but you have both Amazon and Walmart also, a detailed review plus 2 options of buying it is simply awesome – thanks for the detailed information that has really helped me with changing from our (old) gas mower to a new sun joe electric version, Thanks again
Yes, the Sun Joe Electric 14 Inch Mower MJ401E is an awesome mower with an affordable price and many thanks to you for stopping by and leaving a comment – Also best wishes to you and new mower!

Paul
Have been using the SunJoe 14 inch model for 2 years to mow a strip about 10 by 60 feet along the edge of the woods where I keep bird feeders. Allows me to keep that grass at a low enough level (using mid height setting) for also scattering bird seed on the ground. Perfect for project…only problem is the need to frequently empty catcher. Wish though that the wheels were slightly larger.
Many thanks for stopping by. Yes the wheels could be larger and the catcher does need to be emptied regularly. Great to know you continue to use it after 2 years – take care!
Regards
Paul
