Question 1

What gauge extension cord is required for the 13 amp sun joe?

Accepted Answer

Taken from reviews: "I have had my Moe Joe over a year now and it is still going strong despite being left out in the weather and otherwise abused. The Mow Joe is a good product but it is being sabotaged by Amazon and unfairly reviewed for two reasons:1. The Mow Joe 14" has a 12 amp motor. Amazon is bundling it with a 16 gauge extension cord, despite the fact the manual states that for extension cord lengths under 100ft, a 14 gauge cord is required. For lengths of 100ft or more a 12 gauge cord is required (gauges work backward so a smaller gauge is a thicker wire). Trying to pull 12 amps of power through a little 16 gauge 100ft cord will burn out any electric motor pretty quick. That is why all these reviews complaining about the motor dying after a few weeks bother me. Either through ignorance or cheapness people use an under rated extension cord and blame it on the mower. Amazon could help by not recommending a cord that will destroy the motor.2. Electric mowers by nature are maintenance mowers. It is assumed that you will be cutting your grass regularly before it gets so tall you are losing small children in it. If your grass in knee high then borrow your neighbors gas mower and get it to a manageable height and then keep it maintained with your nice quiet, lightweight, electric mower. Even the powerful 12 amp motor on this mower will have big problems with out of control grass, including blade stalling and premature motor failure.In short the Mow Joe 14" is a great mower if you use it how it's designed to be used and don't abuse it."

Question 2

Is this mower self-propelled?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't need to be. It's lighter and easier to use than my previous combustion-engine self-propelled mower. The electric mower and lightweight design mean I can easily push this with one hand, despite my arthritis.

Question 3

Has anyone used the 17" model on burmuda grass?  What were the results?

Accepted Answer

Reel mower works better on Bermuda grass.

Question 4

does anyone know where i can buy the round green attachment (with bolt) that holds blade in place?

Accepted Answer

Try calling Sun Joe 1-866-766-9563 because that part is not listed on their website.
