Works especially well with wet leaves and muck. This more than met my expectations & paid for itself the first time I used it. A little tip, before you insert it into the gutter pull the cord to close the arms, then once it's in the gutter release the cord. That way you won't be placing it over the nails or brackets that are holding the gutter to the house.

Keeps me off of a ladder and allows me to do quick cleanups when blockages from leaves happen. I use it with a Docapole and the combo works great and gives me pretty impressive reach. It does take a few minutes to get used to how it works and to get a feel for it, but once you get it, it makes light gutter cleaning quick and easy.

This is just what I needed to stop using the ladder. I have a single story house with many evergreen trees including fir, cedar and a pine tree partial having over the house. I spent many trips with the ladder throughout the year to clean the needles out of the gutters. With a plexiglass mirror on an extension pole and this device, I can clean the gutters in 20 minutes and have never had a clogged gutter or downspout.

This is a simple tool. Very effective. Sturdy. Most of my leaves were in one small area of the gutter. Was able to quickly and easily remove them.

This gutter cleaning tool far exceeded my expectations. I did in 45 minutes what used to take me 2 hours and I didn't have to climb a ladder and risk breaking my neck. I guess sometimes the low-tech choice is the way to go, and it was certainly cheaper than many of the other alternatives.
