Lawn-Boy named its single-stage snow thrower line "Insight" because of the information the company gleaned when talking to homeowners about what they were looking for in a small machine. The Insight 33006 snow thrower is the result of that research, and it's a solid, well-designed tool, perfect for light snow removal.

The Insight 33006 clears a 20-inch swath and throws snow 35 feet, but it's the user-friendly details that really make an impression. The handle height can be quickly adjusted with an easy-to-turn knob, and the comfortable grips on the recoil handle and throw chute mean your hands never need to come in contact with cold metal. This model comes with an electric start.

The 141cc Duraforce Snow engine is two-cycle, so you'll have to mix oil with fuel, but you get some benefits in return, not the least of which is a quick start, even in icy temperatures. Lawn-Boy covers the Insight 33006 snow thrower with its 2-year Complete Coverage warranty.

If you are looking for a reasonably priced snow thrower and don't mind a two-stroke engine, the Insight 33006 could be the unit for you.

Pros: Easily adjusted handles; electric start
Cons: Two-cycle engine means you have to mix gas and oil
