The 10797 is a walk-behind gas mower at the top of Lawn-Boy's flagship Insight Platinum series. The mower features a Sens-a-Speed self-propelled drive system that makes it easy to push and automatically adjusts the motor speed to match the user's pace. It is designed with a 21" cast aluminum deck that is durable and rust-resistant and has an easy-starting Honda GCV 160 engine for powerful performance. The mower differs from the 10796 since it has a blade control system which stops the blades but keeps the engine running, allowing the user the quickly leave the mower without having to restart the engine on return. The 10797 includes Lawn-Boy's 3-in-1 system which quickly changes between the mulch, rear bag, and side discharge functions. It also features a simpleset handle, soft comfort grips, lift bag system, and large 8" wheels for maneuverability. The mower can be compactly folded for storage using the quick-stow lever and comes with a complete 5 year warranty.

Hi-Vac is the name Snapper uses to describe the grass-collecting feature, pulling grass clippings upward rather than backward and then into a bag (this is supposed to be superior to conventional rear-mounted bagging systems). The bag itself holds...
