Q: Good evening, My rear wheeled drive mower just died. I'm on the hunt for a new one but I'm torn between the Honda and Snapper. My yard is on a hill and I want a superior cut, rear wheeled drive mover with a bag. I've used my neighbors Honda that allows me to keep the mover running while emptying the bag and shutting off the blade while doing so. It also offers a great cut with the dual blades. I've grown up using Snapper mowers so I have a personal attachment to them. Which in your professional opinion is the best for the money? Which brand and model of mower would you recommend? by Kevin White from Alabama on April 26, 2011
A: Both models are going to be very high quality, but it could just come down to what options are more important to you. In terms of a good quality cut, both would give you such a thing.
If blade brake clutch is something you do favor though, the Honda would probably be your best choice. Snapper does not offer a mower with the blade clutch. Otherwise, either mower would be a good choice.
Q: Todd:My 80 year old mother wants a new lawn mower. Her health is excellent, but she is losing some of her strength and her current lawn mower (John Deere) is not an electric start and is hard to handle, even being self propelled.
Her criteria for a new mower are: 1. Gas powered electric start 2. Engine remains running when the safety bar is released. 3. Self propelled 4. Rear bagging 5. As lightweight as it can be. 6. Quality and dependability.
Money isn't that large of an object, but dependability and features are. If you could assist, it would be greatly appreciated. by Tim Alzheimer from Montana on March 17, 2011
A: Thanks for your inquiry. The mower listed here would meet your criteria. The dependability and features on this mower are definitely along the lines of what your are looking for. by Todd, Product Expert

Why I bought a Snapper Mower
Many years ago I purchased a Snapper Lawnmower. When I moved, I gave it to one of my sons. It is still in use today. I subsequently moved and needed another mower. I searched the area in which I live, but could not find that brand, so I settled on another. It lasted about 16 months before it had major troubles.
I bought another brand. It too lasted under 2 years before it started to fall apart. I longed for my old Snapper mower back, but didn't have the heart to reclaim it from my son. I settled on my son hauling my old Snapper over to my home every couple of weeks to mow my lawn.
I decided that there must be somewhere that I could get my own Snapper so I went on line and found your web site. I picked out the model I thought would suit me, and called to see if it was available. The gentleman I spoke with was very helpful, and within 15 minutes I had bought me a new Snapper.
It arrived in a timely manner, and I have used it several times and I just love it. I am 75 years old, so I needed one that had an electric start, and was self propelled. This has more than fit the bill. I love it !

Buyers Review
My new snapper is OK now that I got it ready for mowing. I had a hard time getting the starter insert to into the slot. I called for assistance from customer service 1-800-317-7833 but still couldn't get the starter insert into the slot. Finally, I located a local snapper dealer and went to their shop for advice.
After much pushing I got it into the slot I am afraid to remove it as the manual advise. So far this is a big negative for me-but I will deal with it as I like everything else so far about my new snapper.

Expected more from Snapper
Received the mower and unpacked from the shipping carton, set it up and added gas and oil. Mower started up fine and I began to mow my lawn. Half way through the deck dropped to the ground and I had a 6 foot long scalp on the lawn. I immediately shut it off, and after some checking found that a bolt had sheared. It was a bolt that connects the deck height rod to the front wheel.
Of course Snapper was closed on the weekend, so I had to call on Monday and explain what had happened. I had to download the parts list to explain which part. New hardware came the following Friday, and my lawn has still not recovered in the scalped area.
I also noticed that the deck is not parallel to the ground. The front is about 14" closer. The self propel feature is not powerful enough to go up the slope of my property, which my old mower had no problem with. Overall the mower is OK, but I expected more from Snapper.
