 Goodo but not great May 20, 2007

The Gutter Wand works better on television than it does at home. It can take several tries to get through heavy dirt build up, leaves, and other plant material. It does do the job it says it will do. It cost more to ship than it did to buy, which is another black mark as far as I am concerned. Over all I am glad I have it and will use it.

My gutter is a little higher up than most, so I duct taped an additional pole to it so it would reach. This worked OK. You WILL get wet so do it on a warm day and dress accordingly. Also, a couple of times the U head came unscrewed and flew off just from the water pressure. I can see it happening and the head landing on the roof and I would be out of luck because I hate ladder (the reason I got it). After about 2 hours, I got my gutter cleaned out enough so that that the next big rain, I saw it running out of the spouts like never before.

It works pretty well to clean out most of my gutters. Wish it were a couple of feet longer.
For the tallest reach, I improvised by duct taping it to another telescopic pole I have and it got the job done.
 Not Powerful Enough Plus Mechanical Problem December 27, 2007
LAS (NJ, USA)
I bought this product in the hope that I could just blast out all the dead and decomposing leaves in my gutters. But I found that the stream of water it generates isn't powerful enough to do the job by itself. I wound up picking the gunk out of the gutters by hand (one-story home, thank goodness) and then using the Orbit to wash the remaining debris out. As other reviewers have noted, you do get quite a shower using this wand, so be sure to wear rain gear or old clothes! I also had a mechanical problem with this product: the part that is supposed to telescope is stubbornly stuck in its original position. I was afraid to try to force it to telescope, for fear of breaking the unit. So I was unable to extend the length of the wand.

The item doesn't seem to be able to handle large accumulations in the gutters or the entrance to the downspout. AND it doesn't seem possible to use the product without getting soaked. I still have to climb up and clean out the gutters & downspouts by hand.
