With grass being as inconsistent, and the test itself not being particularly repeatable, we ran this test primarily to satisfy our own curiosity.
It is important to note that we didn’t consider these results in our scoring. Other than that, every other mower fared better in these conditions.
The Snapper 82V battery mower made it a somewhat underwhelming 18′ (which was still 5′ farther than the Snapper gas model). So, we chucked it into our torture test where we walked it through 5 weeks of growth at a constant 2.5 MPH, at a cut height of 2.5″, and mowed in a straight line until it bogged down and quit. With its impressive heavy load performance, we wanted to see how it handled real-world heavy overgrowth. From a power standpoint, this is 82V mower is a good fit for normal weekly cutting through another week’s worth of neglect. That’s exactly the kind of performance we like to see. We like to see blade tip speeds in the 160 – 190 MPH range and Snapper is there across its entire cutting range, getting faster as the cut gets tougher. In the self-propelled class, it’s a big move up to 4th place. When the going got tougher, it ramped up the power by 23.6 MPH to 188.5 MPH at its blade tips (3170 RPM). This time, the Snapper 82V mower came mower alive. Again, it finished 8th for this portion of our testing.įinally, we tested the mowers under a heavier load designed to simulate overgrown and heavy-duty conditions. This time, the Snapper managed, well, pretty much the exact same performance. So, we simulated a regular weekly cut and measured again. Generally, a cordless lawn mower’s brushless motor ramps up power as it encounters resistance. That’s in the bottom third of the table, but again, this is just a baseline. With its 20″ blade, it moves the tips at 165.1 MPH. The Snapper 82V battery mower registered a no-load blade RPM of 2776. It allowed us to get a good baseline reading for when we tested them under heavier loads later. The first thing we tested was how fast each of our mowers moved under no load. If you’re interested in that sort of thing, check out our cordless mower shootout! Cutting Speed With these standalone articles, we try to spare you the details of how we collected our data. We like this as an option for homeowners with up to 1/2 an acre to care for that cut every 1 to 2 weeks during the cutting season.īattery-Powered Push Mower Ranking: 4th Place The only downside is that it prices some shoppers out, even though the value for what you get is good. Plus, it has the lowest noise level we tested in the self-propelled class and has a wide range of additional tools you can add. It has plenty of power and the amount of area you can cut with the included batteries is very good. Snapper didn’t challenge the top of the leaderboard in our shootout, but this mower is pretty solid across the board.
