Snapper SPXV2270HW 700 Series 22-Inch Briggs & Stratton Gas Powered 3-In-1 FWD REACT Self Propelled Lawn Mower with High Rear Wheels

 (2 customer reviews)

Whoever designed this mower really goofed. Most get self propelled mowers so they do not need to "PUSH" the mower. However, with this one, you have to push on the handle to make it go forward. Caused bruising on wrists. Plastic cracked. The tires had no traction at all and this made it hard to mow on banks as it wanted to slide down and of course, that was complicated even more with the requirement of pushing on the handle to make it go forward. I should have noticed this before purchasing but I thought you would squeeze the handles to make it go, not push. Returned the mower for a craftman. The staff was very helpful and extremely nice about our return.

Snapper mower arrived with 2 wheels broken on diagonal corners, 1 front & 1 rear.
That means UPS dropped it at least twice. Amazon replaced the mower, and 2nd one arrived with 1 wheel broken also. I had to scavange parts off of 1 mower to make a working mower.
Started the now-repaired mower and proceeded to cut the front lawn. It felt like I was dragging a bag of bricks when I needed to pull it backwards to go around an obstacle. After I finished the lawn, I found out that the rear wheels rub on the handle bar when set at the lowest setting! Once I set the mower up 1 notch, it felt like I had to run to keep up with it and it was very easy to pull backwards as needed. It did not pick up the grass very well on the lowest setting but seemed to pick it up and bag it when set up 1 notch.

Have not used it again so I can't give any long term feed-back on quality.
