Lawn-Boy Insight 33005 single-stage snow thrower

Date Published: 4/21/06

Lawn-Boy's focus has always been on user-friendly design, so it's no surprise that the Insight 33005 snow thrower is all about making it as easy as possible to clear a driveway.

Starting with its lightweight and compact design (it weighs just 73 pounds), the 33005 snow thrower is a simple-to-maneuver machine, perfect for small or medium jobs. It clears a 20-inch path and tosses snow up to 35 feet, which is plenty to help clean up after a light snowfall.

The rubber auger paddles scrape the ground, cleaning all the way down to the pavement as they pull the machine forward. An innovative single handle--decked out with a soft, easy-to-grab grip--controls both the chute direction and deflector angle. Lawn-Boy uses a similar, large grip on its recoil starter. Also, you can adjust the height of the handle with one knob.

The Insight 33005 is an inexpensive, intuitively designed entry-level snow thrower.

Pros: Lightweight design
Cons: Two-stroke engine means mixing gas with oil
