Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was on sale, and Best Buy has a wonderful extended return policy for Elite and particularly Elite Plus members like me. We read the reviews and lowered our expectations accordingly. We were delighted with the performance of this unit! Taking the advice of others, a strong string was attached to the unit so that it could be retrieved if it got stuck or ran out of charge. There is one section of gutters that is dangerously high to clean. Effectively cleaning that section of gutter was worth the purchase price for the unit for us! It cleaned out what had been over a year of clogged leaves/debris in 2 passes, only getting stuck in the muck once. Instead of water pouring over the gutter, it now flows the way it is supposed to! We are heading into hurricane season in Coastal NC, and the timing of our purchase was perfect!

This is my 2nd one of these gutter cleaners. I bought this one because it has been discontinued from what I can see. Wanted to be sure I could keep cleaning those gutters up high!!

We have about 60 feet of gutter that is very hard to reach safely, and as a result one section was last done a year ago, and another so long ago that it had an 18 inch pine tree growing in it (at least 3 years)...so I was hoping this robot would let us clean these high gutters from a spot where you could reach up to put the robot in from a lower roof. The robot did a great job on the lower gutters that had been cleaned 5 months ago. Sometimes I had to override auto mode to back up and go over the area a second or third time, especially if it hit a pine cone. If the robot rides up over the pine cone, it can get stuck. Note it had rained the night before, so I was pleased it worked through wet debris. But, how to do the areas where we couldn't get up to free it? We tied a heavy twine/light rope to the back so that if it got in trouble, we could pull it back....just had to be sure to reel in the twine then backing up. And we had to put up a ladder so that I could watch the process and help it through the rough parts. Perfect!. It took about 40 minutes to clean the worst 25 feet, after we reached out a window and removed the pine tree volunteer...I often went on manual and backed it up, even had to use the rope to pull it back once...residual tree roots had wrapped around the auger and it stopped. But the job is done, even though the majority of debris in this section was wet compost/dirt from years of neglect. I will use it at least twice a year, probably three times...early spring, mid summer and late fall. I didn't get my 30-ft-ladder-free option that I was hoping for, but I did get clean gutters without going up and down and moving the ladder so many times. Thanks, IRobot.
