Snapper Lawn Mowers Review and Information

The Snapper brand of lawn care products, featuring its snappy turtle logo, has been a customer favorite for years, receiving high marks in owner satisfaction. Most lawn care professionals, as well as homeowners, recognize that Snapper’s high price is justified by its nearly-unsurpassed quality.

If you are in the market for a residential mower, a model such as the Snapper P217017BV (approx. $600) may be the choice for you. The purchase price is, obviously, quite high, but the features on this machine make it well worth it. First, it boasts a 7.0HP Briggs and Stratton Intek OHV engine. It does have a starter coil instead of a push-button mechanism, but still remains a powerful choice.

It also features a Hi-Vac vacuuming system, which sucks in yard debris (twigs, leaves, etc.) into its rear bag unit, making other features of yard maintenance a snap. It’s also self-propelled, and has a sizeable deck width of 21 inches. It is the highest-ranking mower in consumer satisfaction overall. If you are a professional landscaper or offer other lawn care services, and you need an industrial-strength machine, the smart choice for you might be the Snapper Fast Cut XL HZT21480BV, which retails at over $5,000.

This is, obviously, a major expenditure, but the specs on this machine will convince you of its value. To begin with, its 21HP Briggs and Stratton Vanguard V-twin engine lets you reach speeds as high as (and even above) 10mph, making even large lawns a breeze to mow. What will also help you mow as much as possible, in as little time as possible, is its massive deck width, with a 48-inch cut.

The deck is built of heavy-gauge steel instead of the often-used aluminum – this obviously makes the unit use a bit more fuel, due to its greater weight – but makes it an extremely durable machine which will last years without much wear and tear. Plus, the adjustable six-position deck is set on an extra-strong, steel front axle, further increasing its durability and versatility. There are also options for mulching capabilities and headlights, at an additional cost.

Obviously, a Snapper mower is an expensive choice, but can definitely be considered a very smart purchase considering its durability and quality. It has performed remarkably well in both residential and commercial testing, achieving around a 99% rating on all performance claims. These mowers are easy to use, comfortable, and efficient. Plus, Snapper offers a two-year limited warranty on parts and labor, which has been known to be improved upon for returning customers – and this is a brand which definitely inspires owner loyalty, thanks to its outstanding quality.
