I very rarely write product reviews, but my recent experience with the Snapper SXDWM82K 82V battery-powered mower inspired me to make an exception. And away we go…
I bought the mower as an Amazon Prime item and it arrived in 2 days as guaranteed in what appeared to be a factory-sealed box. In the box is the lawn mower itself, two 82V, 2 amp hour batteries, the battery charging unit, mulching and side discharge hardware, and associated instruction manuals.
From unboxing to full “assembly” took about 10 minutes (what needed to be done hardly qualified as assembly). Getting the mower set up from its shipping configuration to use configuration (aka “assembly”) was simple and intuitive and did not require consulting with the instruction manual; however, upon looking through the manual, instructions were clearly presented should you wish to use it.
As stated, the mower came with 2 batteries. There is one charging unit, so only one battery can be charged at a time. This is not an issue for me whatsoever, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
The mower will only accept one battery at a time, so depending on the size of your yard/length of time you will be using the mower, you will likely only need to use one battery to get the job done and the other will act as a spare. I was able to mow my ~2,800 square foot lawn on ½ of one battery. More details in a minute.
Full disclosure: I have only used the mower one time so far, but I was so impressed with it, I felt it was worth writing this review.
Here’s my experience that caused me to be so impressed:
I’ve actually been giving my lawn some TLC this year and it’s thick and growing rather well (Milorganite has been good to me). It was a little longer than normal for this particular mowing, and slightly damp from watering earlier in the morning. Also, because it was my first time using the mower and I wasn’t familiar with its height settings (the instructions provide information on the height settings, but I failed to mind them), I just eyeballed it and ended up setting the mower height about 1 notch lower than I should have, so it cut the lawn a bit closer than I wanted. This, plus the slightly damp grass would have been a definite recipe for bogging down of my previous gas-powered Craftsman mower. Not this Snapper though. It very impressively and effortlessly powered through it all. I can say with certainty that this battery-powered mower is noticeably more powerful than the gas-powered mower it is replacing. I was worried that power would be something I would have to compromise on when making the switch from gas-powered to battery-powered. There has been no compromise, and instead an improvement.
I would have been sufficiently impressed with the performance I just mentioned, but there’s m

Power to get the job done on 1.25 acre lot
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2017
I have a 1.25 acre lot. Roughly half is taken by the house, the pool, the pond and an area where the trees throw so much shade the grass does not grow. I also purchased the trimmer and blower combination. With all that, I have a total of 3 batteries.The family helps when I am working in the yard, meaning we will have the mower and the trimmer running at the same time. The three batteries keep us going without stopping till we are done.The mower has plenty of power (certainly as much power as any gas powered mower I have used) and is very well built (better than any gas powered mower I have used).I was a little concerned about not having a powered drive train considering I do have small, but steep hills in the yard. The mower is light and my 10 year-old daughter can, with effort, get it up the hill. I can do it relatively easily.The mower is quiet: my little kids can push it without being intimidated. My 8 year-old was given a corner of the lot; he loved it so much he kept going and more than double is allotted grass responsibility. This may seem to be an insignificant point, but the motor being quiet allows me to give the 'little ones' more responsibility and takes one more thing for me to do off my plate. I would never be able to get my 8 (boy), 10 (girl) or 13 (girl) near a loud, gas-powered motor; and besides, they could never pull the cord hard enough to get it going.The trimmer has more than enough power. The blower makes quick work of 'sweeping' the front patio of leaves and the pool area of dust/dirt/sand. The 30 min broom job is now about 5 minutes.I contemplated getting cabled equipment. Considering the extra cost for high-current, yard tough, long cable, and the hassle of pulling cable through bushes, around rocks and trees, and the power these high-voltage, brushless tools bring, I see no advantage.Keep in mind that high-voltage motors run more efficiently than low-voltage. High-voltage allows for lower current for the same power (P=V*I, which decreases losses due to resistance (V=I*R). Also note that brushless motors run more effenciently than brushed, and are more reliable. Brushes in motors inherently impose additional friction on the spinning motor, and more electrical resistance, and at some point wear out.The high-voltage, brushless motors run with batteries are the future; don't waste money on anything else. I see no benefit whatsoever to having the gas-powered mower (or gas-powered anything for that matter for 'smaller' yards). No gas, no running to the gas station, no storing gas, no dealing with gas preservatives, no stains on the ground, no oil, no filter, no stink, no pulling wildly on cords that sometimes break (I've had to replace a few of these), no pulling on cords where the gas mix is not right or the choke is set incorrectly or who knows why the thing won't start (who has not experienced this? routinely?), and lastly - relatively speaking - no noise. Plug in battery, push button, push mower till done, fold and stand on tail to save space when not in use. Your maintenance for these tools will likely come down to replacing trimmer string and sharpening mower blades.See the photos and the video of working through high, wet grass.If you want to get your yard done reliably and without a fuss, this is it.The snapper is built to last. Highly recommended. Do yourself a favor and get it.
