This is a really good mower, however there is one annoyance. The drive propulsion system requires that the mower roll forward a bit after you release the drive lever or you will have one heck of a time pull it backwards.

Basically if you mow like I do you often go forwards, then backwards. At first I...

This is my third review of this mower.  I've always found that reviews are only helpful after the customer has had the item for a while, not within days or months after an initial use.  I've now had this Snapper mower for over 1 year and am not satisfied with it.  I take absolute good care of this...

We purchased this mower last spring. I am a 60 year old lady who is the primary user of this mower. In reading the reviews, I read of the person who had trouble pulling this mower backward. What I found is that if you let go of the self propel handle while you are going forward one or two feet before you stop, you can then pull the mower backward and cut easily. WHILE THIS MOWER IS VERY HEAVY, IT IS MY HOPE THAT BECAUSE IT IS HEAVY, IT WILL LAST A LONG TIME--I BELIEVE BECAUSE IT IS HEAVY HELPS IT CUT SO EVENLY.

Bought this a few weeks ago. Only used it once so far, but so far so good.

I am coming from using a cordless battery powered mower from Black and Decker. I really enjoyed the quietness and "greenness" of that unit, as well as not needing to fill the gas tank or change the oil or spark plugs. But, with my little over 1/3 acre lawn and the hill on my property, pushing that thing around was a burden, and the charge would dimish over time so I would get lackluster cuts. Also had to cut often since tall grass would wear the battery out more quickly.

This unit isn't winning any green earth awards, but...

I purchase a 6.25 Craftsman rear bag mower. That is all I buy. however, the thing that bugs me currently is the bag. The bag has a slot in the back where grass and dirt accumulate and very frustrating to empty. Especially when you are mowing a very large yard. Why don't you turn the bag inside out. It may eliminate all the accumulation of trash and improve its efficiency.

I Bought this mower on- line because of snapper name and sale price. I struggled with a "self propelled" Toro Recycler for a few years before buying the snapper and I am glad I did. It starts on first pull, the variable speed work well, height adj easy it is quiet and a pleasure to operate my lawn looks better with less effort. I recommend this mower to anyone looking to make their life easier

Well constructed, easy to start, easy to adjust the mower height, easy to adjust the handle height, self-propel is fast.   This is just a very fast, durable, user friendly lawn mower.  Snapper really knows what the customer's needs are. 

KUDOS TO SNAPPER!   I WILL ENDORSE THIS PRODUCT TO EVERYONE I KNOW.

This lawn mowers is awesome!!!

My yard is pretty good sized with a hill in the front and back. I thought I would get a self propelled mower, but was concerned about the speed of it.  I have a bad leg and and its difficult to push the mower up hill or across the hill.  This variable speed mower was perfect for me. It starts easily, no priming and its actually not loud for a mower. The only way I feel it could be better is if I had bought a riding mower.  This mower is great for personal or professional use. I don't bag because I like to mulch so the rear drive was perfect for me.  So far I really dont have any dislikes.

I bought this model because my dad has had a similar snapper for over ten years and mows 4 yards. I bought a ninja blade to give it extra mulching power and it's worked great. Easy to start, easy to clean and has the self propel when you need it. A great product.

even a girl can use it!!!

asslembly was very easy and mows great.. yesterday the engine started to smoke and shake. so we let it sit.. tried again and once again it smoked and this time turned off. so we are not sure what is going on. we checked the oil.. and added more. so other than that it has been an awesome lawn mower! even for a woman! 4 stars!

I have A Snapper mower and i have had it for over 3 yrs and it's the best mower you can purchase.

I just purchased my Snapper at sears for $339. For the money you cannot beat this mower. It took less than ten minutes to put it together. Filled it with gas, put some oil in it and it fired up on the first pull. I could not find anything I didn't like about it. She has plenty of power, speed, and mulches great. As soon as you put your hands on it you can feel the quality. This is a solid mower. Deffinately a happy Snapper owner.

First off the unit vibrates more than it should. I replaced the blade and it helped but did not stop the vibration.

This was at 2 months after purchase.  The front wheel fell off like another reviewer at about 3 months.

The rear shield bent at 6 months.  I think the best advice is to buy a cheap mower and think of it

as throw away as the quality of the past is gone

Pros - Easy set up.  Also, as stated by many other reviewers this mower is well constructed.  One lever height adjustment is very convenient.

Cons - Mower vibrates so bad the screws in the cover fall out each time I mow.  Mower is very hard to start especially on restart after you stop the mower to empty the bag.  Self propelled feature can not be adjusted to a speed slow enough to be comfortable for someone with disability.

I purchased the Snapper to replace my 8 year old Troy Bilt.  I have had this Snapper mower 1 year and have been able to use it to mow my entire yard less than a dozen...

The Snapper rear wheel drive has the power. This mower can power through thick grass and go up hill as well.   Don't get a Sears front wheel drive.  Not enough pull. The Snapper is the one to get.
