Lawn Mower Buying Guide


Looking for a new push mower this season? It’s a great time to be in the market for a walk behind mower, as small engine innovation and advances in mower design have made lawn mowers more powerful with reduced environmental impact.

Push Lawn Mower Features to Consider

If you’re not sure where to start, here are some questions to think about:

  • Do you want to bag, mulch or side-discharge your grass clippings?
  • How much land do you have to cover?
  • What is your price range?
  • Is your lawn flat and even, or do you have hills and thick grass in your yard?
  • Do you only take care of your lawn or are you looking for commercial-grade power to handle frequent mowing?

Once you have a better idea of what you’re looking for, take a look at Snapper®’s line of push mower options.
