Very good, with a few small caveats
Owned a Snapper Hi-Vac for many years - it threw a rod (my fault) and I'd lost an old friend. Read reviews saying today's Snapper isn't what it used to be, but I have to disagree. I don't see anything that I would consider degraded quality on this new mower - even the deck (which I'd be most worried about) seems just as sturdy as my old one. Performance: this mower is incredible at leaving a swath of super-clean grass behind it. It really is amazing. It actually performed far better than my old one, On first use I was amazed at how tightly-packed the bag was. I also like the automatic adaptive choke. All that being said, there were a couple of things I don't like about the new model: 1) My old Hi-Vac had a blade clutch. So after the engine was started, you'd engage the clutch to get the blade spinning, then mow. More importantly, you could release the blade clutch handle and the engine would keep running. The new model foregoes the clutch (to save manufacturing costs?). The blade clutch handle seems to be only a simple engine kill switch. So you must engage that handle before you can start the engine. Much worse, if you need to stop mowing (say to pick up an obstacle), the only way to stop mowing is to kill the engine, requiring another pull start to continue. Really don't like this. 2) The pull starter handle is mounted within reach of the operator - I like this, but the way they implemented it using a small pulley mounted on the plastic exhaust chute seems hokey. That chute doesn't look like it was ever designed to take a sideways force, so it flexes quite a bit, and that makes pull starts feel "sloppy". 3) This is minor, but the design of the plastic throttle handle falls short of "decent". It's meant to be a simple friction mount, but the two tiny internal tabs immediately broke off. I'll have to glue it on I guess. I would recommend this mower if you like super-clean (no leftover debris) mowing, despite the missing blade clutch.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good Mower That Cuts Well - Too Heavy...
Basically, the mower is a good one. I bought it because of independent reviews being so positive. There were some minor design flaws that are not a deal breaker - just annoying. Good shipping, well packaged, fairly easy assembly. I would give it 5 Stars if it wasn't so freakin' heavy...Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

works well.
I have a snapper HI Vac from 1986, decided to go with self propelled as I am getting older. The new one picks up just as good as old unit. I have to get used to the new one as it is a bit bigger, but being self propelled helps that difference. My old one starts with 1 pull, as does this new unit. New one holds more gas which is a plus. Bags are about the same as far as how much they hold. I hardly have to give the new one much throttle , just a bit above idle. I am sure I will have this one as long, or until I croak.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
