Recall alert: Snow Joe recalls more than 26K Sun Joe cordless lawn mowers amid laceration risk KIRO 7 News Seattle

A short-circuited battery pack poses a risk of fire and severe personal injury. Do not charge the battery pack in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations. Do not use the battery pack or charger in the presence of explosive atmospheres because sparks may be generated when inserting or removing the battery pack, which could lead to a fire. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

On the other hand, it’s a corded lawn mower. It doesn’t come with an extension cord in its package, unfortunately. Sun Joe offers a remarkably comprehensive range of lawn mowers. The traditionalist can choose from one of the widest ranges of push mowers currently available. Those with small and midsize yards can pick one of many light, easy-to-use, and affordable corded mowers. Finally, there are cordless Sun Joe lawn mowers that provide the freedom of a gas-powered mower without the noise, maintenance demands, or environmental concerns.

This recall was conducted, voluntarily by the company, under CPSC’s Fast Track Recall process. Fast Track recalls are initiated by firms, who commit to work with CPSC to quickly announce the recall and remedy to protect consumers.

The EGO mower operates from a high-efficiency brushless motor, which gets the job done without the noisy gas-powered experience. This is big news because other electric Lawn Mowers merely get the job done, while EGO provides exceptional performance. The mower also includes a cut-to-edge design that enables it to get closer to fences and flowerbeds than other mowers can, which is a big deal. The 40V mower works well on yards up to ½ an acre and has bagging and mulching capabilities for multiple uses. The battery lasts up to 45 minutes, and we love that there are over 40 Greenworks tools that utilize the same 40V battery. The deck can be adjusted to five positions ranging from 1-¼ inches to 3-⅜ inches.

I never really did it because, to be honest, I didn’t want to break or bust anything before I even mowed my lawn. However, this corded electric lawn mower definitely is very durable despite its toy-like plastic look. In terms of outright cutting performance, we would say yes, and of course it’s lighter and easier to maintain. With a 2.5-amp-hour battery, you’ll get 45 minutes run time at most.

Mow Joe starts instantly with the simple push of a button and its rugged all-terrain wheels make it easy to maneuver in tight spaces. Equipped with a durable steel blade, Mow Joe cuts a 14-inch wide swath with each pass. Tailor the grass cutting height with its 3-position manual height control, which adjusts from 1.18 inches to 2.52 inches.

The battery will take approximately 2.5 hours to charge. Only responsible adults who are familiar with the instructions should be allowed to operate this machine. Overloads, overcharging and exposure to direct sunlight will result in overheating and cell damage. Never charge or work with batteries that have been overheated – replace them immediately, if possible. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.
