I bought the sun joe battery reel mower to give it a try to see if it was a legitimate mower to use if you wanted to get into reel mowing and I was pleasantly surprised! This thing actually did a pretty great job!

With my gas mower, i hate mowing. With my $80 amazon reel mower, I mow everyday and love every second. I've got my St. Augustine trained down to 3/4in. It only took one summer. I look out now and I have a golf course as a lawn. No need to spend anymore than $80 and some elbow grease. I finally feel alive. Reel mowing literally saved my life.

Works great! ru-vid.comUgkxprGGPRQoChQaA8u58dt7miEpxQBKiWeJ More difficult with longer grass, though, but I was expecting that. I have a small back yard, it seemed like overkill to buy a lawnmower with an engine. This is easy to carry in and out of the basement through the bulkhead. Very sharp (be careful). At the back of the mower are little wheels, which I use when pulling the mower backwards, so it's easy to readjust direction. I'm including a photo which shows the before and after for my lawn when it was at its longest. For long grass like that you really have to put some muscle into it, and I needed to go into a new section of grass with some momentum, but when the grass is only an inch or two higher than regular cut height it's quite easy. The lawn is still patchy and full of weeds, but at least it's a good height! A step in the right direction.

This looks fantastic for me. My front yard is a whopping total of 900 ft.² my backyard is 1500 ft.² 90% of the season I’m going to be mulching.

I have a favor to ask. Can you hand this mower over to Allyn to test out on his Zoysia plot? I have a manual reel mower and going through over seeded rye is definitely a different adventure than trying to get through zoysia in July. Needless to say (I wasn't man enough) I went back to the rotary on my Zoysia. I'd be interested to see how well it does on a real mans lawn and not this sissy-grass 🤣

@@themoistgreenorganic the sunjoe is freakishly similar in design to the old Gardena battery reel mowers from way back...decent for the price with the great advantage of not having a fixed "cuts per yard" like most of the "entry level" big boys (where the drive and reel are linked together). I went a different "cheap alternative" way by rigging an e-scooter motor on the reel of a manual Fiskars with very good results... Much sturdier blade and knife, and much better build quality of the mower itself.

I kind of like taller grass on my yard, somewhere around 2 inches is fine for me. It gives the yard a more cushion like affect and makes it easier to walk on barefooted.
@kickingworld
@kickingworld 2 года назад
Not for Bermuda grass though. Anything more than 1” and it gets very thin the taller it goes and it’s actually more of a crunchy feel than that soft cushion you’d expect. It’s more cushiony when it’s lower because the grass is more dense and grows more laterally when you cut it lower more regularly.

@huck9293

Does the battery actually drive the wheels to self propel or is it only spinning the reel? If just the reel then you might as well get a fiskars. That chain drive mechanism is pretty ingenious.

This cuts fine but it is very short when on lowest cut setting. My son changed the roller bar to make it weight down more on grass. So as a result grass catcher doesn't stay on on lowest setting. My grandson has been using this mower for 4 years. Very safe for him. More stop when handle is released. Works great for our backyard. Battery lasts thur several mowing. Worth the money.

I’ve been using mine for over a month on Bermuda. My biggest issue is the sides like Brett said. When you do a trim pass you can get closer with the right wheel than the left. Wrap that black strap a few times around the bar on the grass catcher. The way you had it I know it drags and you just wanna toss it lol. I’ve never used a greens master I can’t compare but I am reel mowing every 3 days and I’m addicted 😆🔥

Talking about the grass catcher bag not catching all the clippings, you could put some kind of small mesh netting or screen over it just enough, to catch all clippings, but, still fairly easy to get the catcher on and off. Like with a bit of framework, uptop between the mower, itself and the top of the catcher frame. If I could draw it out on this phone, it would be great. But this phone doesn't have that feature, bugger.

Great review. I have been mowing my back yard (Bermuda hybrid) for 5 years with a Great American push reel, and while it does the job, I am a busy man and often let the grass go too long between cuts, which means either I am going to drop 5 pounds pushing through it every time, or I am going to drop 6 pounds doing multiple passes at diminishing heights. A cordless reel, as you said, makes a TON of sense. I do wish that some of the build quality issues shown were designed out (or maybe that Ryobi would make a unit compatible with my already-extensive collection of batteries!), but this might make sense for me. And maybe if I didn't dread mowing the high grass, it might not get as high ;)

My normal cutting height is 0.75 (this mower doesn't have a 0.75 height setting) and sometimes I go down to 0.50 2. lightweight (I'm sure this mower is lightweight) 3. Ability for easy backlapping it for sharpening. 4. a very useful bag.

I hate to break it to you folks but SunJoe is the biggest piece of junk you can buy. There is a reason it's so cheap. It's because it won't barely last a season with all the Jersey garbage plastic that it's made of. I have gone through three scarifier/de-thatchers in two seasons, one pressure washer that only lasted two seasons and I expect this piece of junk won't hack more than a season or two either. If you look at other reviews, it doesn't spin fast enough and leaves waffling patterns on the lawn plus has no weight on the rollers so you get little to no stripping.

I would like to own this mower but the way SunJoe customer service treated me for an entire summer two years ago will keep me from every buying any of their products plus their products are made of the cheapest materials.👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

Have you heard about the Pulsar electric reel mower? Pulsar PTG2216. Looks like it has a 500w motor vs. the 360w motor in the sunjoe

Great video Brett.. I think you hit the nail on the head.. not everyone in fact I think the majority cant afford to spend thousands on a mower. But everyone would like to have a great lawn. Little thing called "Life" happens and there is not the budget or time to have a golf course lawn. These options are a great alternative. You were honest in your review and people need to understand the cheaper products are an alternative not a replacement for the Pro Quality products..

Is it possible to make the blades go in reverse (for sharpening)?
@nixx1100
@nixx1100 2 года назад
Yes, you have to remove a wheel, remove the drive belt and hookup a crank (or preferably a power drill) to the reel shaft. Look up "backlapping Gardena reel mower", they're almost identical in design.

You have way too much real-estate to use a 15" reel mower. With your property, I would cut out Starbucks and eating out and get the $3500 mower. No questions!

I was paying a guy 100 per month to cut my lawn which is smaller than yours. Came out to $1,200 a year. I can buy 2 of these Sun joes and still be way ahead.

What are your options when the blade gets dull, can you backlap?
@Brettsgrasscapades
@Brettsgrasscapades 3 года назад
I think there may be a way to do it but the wheels would need to be removed. We'll see when we get there.

I'm going to put in some nice sod in my front yard, I think this is going to be the buy for me. the back is just too big and will get a different kind of grass and will get the riding mower. I'm all about modifying so I think I can work with this one. thank you for the review

People are so brainwashed when it comes to lawns. Most people have been told how and what to think About lawns. I want all natural. Not to mention that so many other plants that is useful but everyone has been programmed to call them weeeds and pull them.

Thanks for the great review. I'm buying a new house soon and when I had my old house, I bought a fiskars momentum reel mower but it was too knotty with tree roots to use effectively. New house doesn't have any big trees so I'm hoping this is a way to go. I really wish Ryobi would make a reel mower since I have a lot of their batteries!
