With a reliable, long-lasting Tecumseh motor, lots of convenient, ergonomic features, and a traditional hand-push drive system, this mower is a practical choice for maintaining lawns of all shapes and sizes.

Reliable, Easy–to-Use Tecumseh Engine
A 6.5 HP Tecumseh Engine ensures that this mower is a powerful, long-lasting performer. Patented Easy Start technology means that getting going is quick and painless. A unique electronic capacitor discharge ignition creates a hotter spark than other ignition systems, which translates into easier, more reliable starts.

The engine itself has pressurized oil distribution for improved durability and performance over time, and it offers an instant response to changing load conditions, so you always stay in control of your mower and have enough power at your disposal.

Simple, Hand-Push Drive System for Easy Maneuvering
Lightweight and easy to steer around trees, shrubs, and walkways, this mower employs a simple, hand-push drive system. This classic setup is less complicated than self-propelled models, meaning this mower has fewer parts with the potential to break or wear out. A durable, lightweight, 21-inch steel deck also contributes to easy maneuvering.

Ergonomic features like the SimpleSet adjustable handle and soft comfort grips keep you comfortable. Easy-turn wheels and a maneuverable, lightweight body minimize the amount of effort you have to expend mowing, while a one-handed easy lift bag helps to keep you from straining yourself while disposing of yard waste.

3-in-1 Functionality for Serious Versatility
With the option to use this Lawn-Boy as a mulching mower, you can avoid cumbersome bagging and time-consuming raking, and the nutrients in your grass clippings are effectively recycled, helping maintain the overall health of your lawn. If you've got tall, wet grass to contend with or lots of leaves on the lawn that make mulching impractical, you can convert quickly and easily to rear bagging or side discharge of lawn waste without having to use any tools. Additionally, you can adjust the cutting height on this mower from one to four inches for optimum lawn health in a variety of conditions.

And when it's time to stash your mower in the garage, you'll appreciate the compact storage options that two easy-stow knobs afford. These simple, oversized knobs make it easy to adjust the handle for storage in a 180-degree position.

This lawn mower is backed by a two-year complete coverage warranty. California residents should take note that this mower is non-CARB compliant.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, Solid, Heavy. Yes, Yes, Yes., April 20, 2006

By	Martin Edwards "DeLorean Guy" (The Great White North, eh.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lawn Boy 10683 Insight Series 21-Inch 6.5 HP Gas Powered Push Lawn Mower (Lawn & Patio)

After I couldn't acquire parts for my 19 year old Lawn-Boy mower, I decided to buy another. I did a lot of research before deciding to purchase this Insight model.

This Lawn-Boy is a fine machine despite some flaws. The engine usually starts on the first or second pull, but not always. Once it's running, it's a relatively quiet engine, and the pollution is far less than previous models. One of the best things about this mower is the way it looks. Fab design.

However, the biggest downfall of this mower is its ridiculous weight. I'd like to know why somebody at Lawn-Boy/Toro thought a 70 pound push mower was a good idea. Because it's not.

My old Lawn-Boy was a svelte 35 pounds, so I wrote to Lawn-Boy to ask why they did not make an aluminum mower this year.

Their customer service informed me that they used a steel deck instead of their older, better aluminum designs. They said the aluminum decks were not ready for the 2006 season, but provided me with hope that they will be available next year.

SO, if you can wait until next year, I suggest putting your money towards an aluminum mower. If not, this one will work fine, as long as you don't mind working a lot harder to push the darn thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid mower, great price, August 1, 2005

By	D. Greene "Funk soul brother" (Bowie, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lawn Boy 10683 Insight Series 21-Inch 6.5 HP Gas Powered Push Lawn Mower (Lawn & Patio)

I bought this mower for our house over a month ago. It's been used 5 times since then (once by my wife). Set-up out of the box was simple, it was ready to go, the toughest part was attaching the pull cord to the ring that holds it in place. A pair of pliers made quick work of that.
Once I added the gas and oil, it started on the second or third pull. Our lawn is less than a quarter acre with a slight incline but plenty of trees and fences to maneuver around. My wife and I have had no problems with missing any spots because we couldn't get the mower into tight quarters.
Possibly my favorite feature is how simple it is to put the bag on and take it off. The bar that forms the opening slides onto a little ledge. There's nothing to hold open and the bag fits through the opening of the handle bar, even when full.
I changed the oil after the second use as per the instructions and that went smoothly as well. I haven't fussed with the air filter or spark plug yet, but they seem to be pretty straight forward.
I grew up with my father's Lawn Boy and it worked fine for him for at least 10 years. I would be in heaven is this one also lasted that long.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Mower @ an even better price, September 10, 2007

By	Theodore Haussner "theodorescolt45" (Cranford, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Purchased this mower 3 weeks ago, ordered it on monday, arrived on wednesday, VERY FAST ! Started on the 1st pull after I added gas/oil. Always had Snappers in the past, it was time for a new one. First NEW mower I've bought in 30 years! Quite happy with it so far. Only feature I wish it had was an adjustable throttle control, but seems it's not necessary as I always run it on full throttle anyway. I would recommend the mower for anyone looking for a good reliable at a reasonable price and comes with a 2 year warranty. I especially like the semi-pneumatic tires, padded grip and ease of starting. Also, I wish the bag were as big as the one on the Snapper, but for less than 1/2 the price I really cannot complain and the shipping was free !
