hello this is chris with touring.com and
0:07
today we're taking a look at the sanjo
0:08
ion 16-inch cordless lawnmower
0:10
this mower includes a 40 volt 4 amp hour
0:13
lithium ion battery that powers a
0:16
it takes a couple of hours for the
0:17
battery to charge but once it's done it
0:18
can be easily popped into the mower
0:20
the mower itself is mostly made of
0:22
plastic it doesn't need a metal frame
0:23
because it doesn't have to support a
0:25
engine the center handle allows you to
0:27
pull up a little which makes setting the
0:29
deck height super easy
0:30
to turn the mower on you need to press
0:32
down on a safety button and pull back on
0:33
a lever and you're ready to go
0:35
it's a lot easier to start than a gas
0:37
mower the sun joe can easily cut through
0:39
my fescue grass but it is a little
0:40
thinner than other grass varieties
0:42
the grass is also thinner than normal
0:44
thanks to the drought here in california
0:46
still when the grass was thicker i was
0:47
able to cut through both the front yard
0:49
and the backyard on a single charge
0:50
about 2 400 square feet to really put
0:53
the mower to the test i took it over to
0:55
his grass is much thicker saint
0:57
augustine and it happened to be really
1:00
cutting his grass wasn't effortless for
1:02
the mower but it did succeed
1:04
overall i was very impressed with the
1:05
shenzhou ion and so was my neighbor
1:07
it works great on thin types of grass
1:09
and it can be used on thick types as
1:11
long as you mow it regularly and don't
1:12
let it turn into a jungle
