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.

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
I had the previous model of Snapper, Snapper RE110 (28") 11.5HP Rear Engine Riding Mower (2013 Model).
Last year the steering went out and I had it fixed.
The transmission just quit and locked up. The estimate was $470 to fix. I decided to junk the Snapper.
I lightly tried to use the Snapper from 4 years ago and it didn't make it. I say lightly, because I have a small lot and mainly mowed the front yard with a riding mower because it saved me 15-20 minutes and wear and tear on my body.
I would have gone back and update my original review, but that is not possible since this model has been discontinued.
I would not buy another Snapper lawnmower. I guess the only thing good was the Briggs and Stratton engine. It always started easily and had plenty of power.

"Mowers Direct is good. They have a wide variety and have good prices and shipping is extremely fast. Good technical support. I have bought 3 mowers from Mowers Direct. The most recent was September 2017."
I bought this mower from Mowers Direct right before last years 2016 cutting season. I've had it less than two years. The wheel bearings elongated I had to replace them. I did grease the bearings before ever using the mower, and during cutting season. The deck I can't keep level. I will adjust it, and it seems to just slowly creep out of level. When I first got the mower the handle for the deck height adjustment pulled off in my hand when I lifted it.
Cons:Unreliable, Low Quality, Durability

Please call the folks at Snapper and they can help you get the unit up and running. They can be reached at (800) 935 2967 or you can use the link attached to find a local service center Find a Snapper Dealer Near You!. We appreciate your business, and apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you for your review. Your feedback is important to us, as we take information such as this to help us make improved design choices in the future. Your comments will be shared with our engineering team for improvement opportunities.
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

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,
Pros:Easy To Use

"I would recommend, based on my ability to get the mower started again."
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.

"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

Snapper Wins Again
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.

Good Shipping, Good Mower. Needs Mulching Blade If You Are Going
Delivery from Mowers Direct was seamless. I ordered the lift gate service and was very glad I did. The driver placed the 400 lb crate right where I needed it. Assembly was straightforward. Bear in mind that it takes 2 people or decent jack stands to install the front wheels. Battery was charged but not connected (a good thing) and crankcase was filled with oil. Mower started on first crank and has run well for 3 hrs/3 mowings so far. The mower came set up for mulching, but also had a side discharge chute.
The standard blade does not mulch very well. I ordered and installed a "Ninja" blade which mulches much better. This mower is surprisingly maneuverable and will cut right up to a fence line and closely around trees, etc. The safety switch for mowing in reverse is somewhat silly IMO but is not hard to master. The hydro drive works well so far -- a good thing since it is not user serviceable. It is a noisy beast. Plan on wearing a little hearing protection. It seems durable so far. All in all, this is exactly what I ordered and expected.
I understand that earlier model Snappers could be tipped up on their rear bumper for storage and service. Not this machine. The trailer hitch is positioned so there is no way to stand the mower on its back end, the machine itself is too heavy for that to be practicable and safe, and the manual expressly states this should not be done. However, the front axles lend themselves to regular jack stands, and it is not difficult to jack up the mower and get access to the blade etc.
