Q: Does this model stand on end to make it easier to store and sharpen blades? by David from Texas on May 09, 2015
A: David - the current Snapper rear engine rider models do not have the stand-on-end feature any longer by Jose, Product Expert
Q: the Snapper model 7800952 re210 shows includes mulch kit, why then under accessories do you show 2 different mulch blades to purchase? is the mower equipped with a mulch blade? i.e. if I just purchase mower as equipped can I mulch? I have 1/3 acre lawn and don't bag or side discharge by Larry Knudson from Colorado on June 05, 2014
A: Larry - the Snapper rear engine riding mowers (including the model 7800952) come equipped with a 3-in-1 style mower blade that is designed to bag, mulch or discharge the grass clippings with equal effectiveness. Many folks feel that the Ninja mulch blade or the Gator mulch blade do a much better job of mulching the grass clippings than the blade that comes standard with the mower does, as these two blades are designed specifically to mulch the cut grass. That is why we offer these two blades as optional accessories. by Jose, Product Expert

Happy With My Snapper
I've had my Snapper since the first of June. Well built. The body is all metal including the gas tank. The combination rolled deck and Gator blade give a superior cut as close to a reel mower as I've seen. Easy starting and handling. The 15.5 hp engine has plenty of power.
My wife wanted to try it out and long story short I haven't mowed in a couple of months. Fair warning fellas now it's my wife's mower. She mows twice a week and the yard has never looked better. She also mows our elderly neighbors yard. We have a half acre yard and she's able to mow both in a little over an hour.

Robert,
Thank you for your review. Your feedback is important to us, and we're very sorry to hear that you had an unpleasant experience with your mower. Your comments have been shared with the product team so that they can be incorporated into future product improvements.
Snapper is last mower I will ever buy, nothing but problems from the start a waste of my time and money. Always fixing the front end always stopping to get grass out of the shoot always going over the lawn because the blade suck ,I should of purchase a goat he would did a better job.
Cons:Expensive, Difficult To Use, Low Quality, Unreliable

David,
Sounds like you might want to consider taking your mower in to a local Snapper dealer. To find your local dealers, Snapper can be reached directly @ (800) 935 2967
This mower has no power for going up slight inclines. It is hard to steer and very noisy. The catcher shoot clogs easily. The mower is rough finding. I'm the positive side, it starts easily. Even with the mower deck leveled you do not get an even good looking cut.
Pros:Durable, Light Weight, Easy To Store
Cons:Expensive, Difficult To Use, Not an even cut even with deck leveled

Charles,
I do apologize for the issues you're experiencing with your mower and hope a resolution is found. I would strongly suggest contacting a certified repair center if you feel there is something wrong with your unit as your mower will be covered under warranty. If you need help finding one of these repair centers, please give us a call and we will do our best to assist. Thank you for your business and I hope you have a great day.
I had a car in the 1980s without power steering. It was very difficult to parallel park. This mower reminds me of that car. It is difficult to maneuver even around the simplest of obstacles. I have been using a zero turn mower for the past 5 years. It is so simple to maneuver in comparison. The "safety" feature that handles reverse is a joke. Do yourself a favor and buy a zero turn mower instead. They are easy to handle and you don't have to jump through hoops to go in reverse.

Good Mower But Am Having Some Difficulty Getting It To Crank
I have used this model for one season and it performs well for my 1 acre lot.
I do have an issue and would love a response. I mowed through leaves on a dry day and afterward spayed the unit (including the engine) off. It will not start since that date - a month or so back.
I drained the gas tank, blew out the gas lines, cleaned the air filter but it will not restart.
Any clues would be appreciated.
thanks,

"When I went online to buy this was the only place I could find exactly what I wanted and needed. Hydrostatic, rear engine, Snapper quality brand and would deliver direct to the door. I couldn't be more pleased with the sales/service at Mowers Direct and I recommend them highly. Prompt, friendly and efficient service."
Love, Love, Love This - Only Riding Mower With 33" Deck
I owned one of these mowers back in the day, 1978, and it was easy to fix, easy to use, easy to transport, user friendly, and easy to take care of! Now after years of mowing my lawn with a "Walker" I'm back to old school! IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT, should have saved the money and stayed with Snapper!
Pros:Easy To Use, Durable, Price, Reliable
Cons:None

"I think that working with a local dealer would have eliminated my immediate issues"
Certainly the highest quality rear engine mower available today. If you are a return buyer you'll know in a minute that it's not as heavy duty as the Forrest Gump model.
The only con I have is not knowing how much there is to do to set up. No one to help makes it very difficult to lift this heavy mower off the shipping packaging.
I cut my grass, it worked great. It's easy to use. I'll write more once I go through some more use. My last Snapper was a 28" Hi Vac. That was stolen after I owned it for 24 years, trouble free. I had never changed the belt on that mower. That's the quality you can expect.

I Love It, I Love It, I Love It
For the last 6 years I used an older 9 hp, 28" cut, pull start snapper,with single catcher system, well built great product & that's why I bought another rear engine snapper.
This time a new RE210 hydro-static transmission, 15hp,electric start, 33" cut. The turning ratio is greatly improved and they've also added a cup holder.
The older models you used to be able to stand the mower on its end to change the blade, that is no longer an option so I purchased a mower lift. I also bought the twin catcher system which takes a lot less effort to empty. Looking forward to years of mowing.
