Lawn-Boy's Insight Platinum 10765 self-propelled gas mower features innovative performance and ergonomic design. The 10765 is an entry-level mower in the Insight Platinum series and comes with several premium features, including the industry's best full warranty, which covers starting, power and parts for five years.

Lawn-Boy's 3-in-1 cutting system is another feature that instantly caught our attention; of all the mowers we've tested, this system was the easiest and fastest to change. Instead of a cumbersome spring-hinged trap door, a mulch plate quickly snaps into place should you decide to mulch grass clippings or send them through the side chute. The Easy Lift Bag lives up to its name -- even our small-handed, more petite testers quickly removed and replaced the bag using one hand.

We were a bit skeptical of the Sens-a-Speed system -- a state-of-the-art self-propel system that automatically senses and adjusts the mower to your walking speed (up to 5mph) -- at first, but after we put our hands on the handlebar and started walking, we were amazed at how effortlessly the mower adjusted to our ever-changing speed. The ultimate result is a quality cut and superior bagging due to a combination of a deep-dome deck, tri-cut blade and hi-vac lift.

Also, the 21-inch rust-free, cast aluminum deck is built to last. The high-performance Briggs & Stratton 6.75 foot-pound gross torque engine works hard and is and easy to start, and the Platinum transmission is fully enclosed to seal out dirt and debris; this translates to years of maintenance-free operation.

The Insight Platinum 10765 also comes with comfortably padded grips, adjustable handles that let you set the handle height using a single easy-to-reach knob, and a recoil starter that is set high on the handle so it's easy to reach. The recoil starter is also easy to pull, thanks to an oversized and well-padded grip.

Extra-long adjustment levers are also outfitted with oversized padded grips that make it painless to change the cutting height adjustments on each wheel; cutting heights can be set to numbered stops ranging from 1 to 4.5 inches, and the levers move without difficulty regardless of finger strength or size. The large radius wheels are inset to allow for close trimming on both sides of the deck. This model also features a Quick Stow Lever that enables the mower's handle to fold flat in a flash for space-saving storage.

The Lawn-Boy Insight Platinum 10765 self-propelled gas mower may be the entry-level model in the Insight Platinum series, but its durability, innovative design and user-friendly features make it among the best in its class.
