Product Description

Cleaning a gutter with your bare hands can cause painful scratches and cuts. And climbing a ladder to reach second-story gutters is just asking for trouble. Instead keep your hands unscathed and your feet on the ground by using Gutter Sense, the easy-to-use rain gutter cleaning device! This clever gutter cleaner tool features large polycarbonate "tongs" that will grab 14" of leaves or pine needles from flat-bottom gutters when you pull on the 12'-long braided rope included. Then just dump the debris in a trash bag or compost pile! You'll need to add your own threaded broom handle or extension pole to this gutter cleaning device.

Customers say

Customers are happy with the performance of the gutter cleaner. However, some customers have reported issues with gripping well enough to pull leaves out. They say the head keeps coming loose on the pole and flopping around. Customers also say the tongs on the extension pole would not remain tightened. They also mention that the size of the product is relatively short and needs additional length. Customers differ on stability, value, quality, ease of use, and appearance.

Customers like the performance of the tongs. They say it works surprisingly well, once they get the hang of it. They also say it's a great idea and may work well for some gutters. Customers also mention that it works great on both dry and wet debris. However, some customers note that it doesn't work as well at second story height.

"...First it works well when trying to unplug a downspout during a downpour. Two decent grabs of wet mulch-like debris, and the downspout cleared...." Read more

"...I feel this was well worth the money. It's safe to use and got the job done even with heavy debris that I had to pick out...." Read more

"Short: it works well but because it’s plastic it can’t handle much and won’t last long...." Read more

"...My final opinion: this device is slower than getting up on your roof with your blower, but that was of no importance to me...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the quality of the gutter cleaner. Some mention it's a great little tool for cleaning out clogged gutters, and it makes gutter cleaning a breeze. However, others say that it'd be better if the grabbers were more sturdy, and the string didn't break so often.

"...Easy to pick up many dry leaves per go, and effective at picking up large clumps of degraded leaf debris at the bottom of the gutters...." Read more

"...harder to grab; it put a lot of strain on this device and risked breaking it at any point...." Read more

"...This item was able to clear all the heavy debris for me. After clearing about 60 ft it started to stick...." Read more

"...It can be difficult, dirty, and sometimes slow, but there is no better way to clean your gutters from the ground than this...." Read more

215 customers mention99 positive116 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the gutter cleaner. Some mention that it works and is pretty easy to use, the job is easier if you know exactly where the gutter nails are, and the learning curve is not too steep. However, others say that it is more difficult to use and feels a little cumbersome in the beginning. They also say that using the device quickly grows frustrating and that it's very difficult to control and operate at a height of more than 10'.

"...It can be difficult, dirty, and sometimes slow, but there is no better way to clean your gutters from the ground than this...." Read more

"...Really pleased with the ease of use and ability to remove dry leaves and partially degraded clumps from my gutters two stories up...." Read more

"This gutter cleaner is functional. It is very challenging to use if you have a lot of Pinestraw or heavy materials in your gutters as I tried to use..." Read more

"...Of the products I researched, this is probably the easiest to use without needing to be high enough on a ladder or on the roof to see into the rain..." Read more

107 customers mention64 positive43 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the tool. Some mention that it is well worth the price, saves them money, and is much cheaper than a ladder or paying someone to do this. However, others say that it seems poorly executed for the price and is too overpriced for what it does.

"...What's my point?I feel this was well worth the money. It's safe to use and got the job done even with heavy debris that I had to pick out...." Read more

"...All in all, just too overpriced for what it does, and how it does it...." Read more

"...but as it is, it gets the job done, and at around $30-$35 the price is fair...." Read more

"...but after learning to use it I'm glad I bought it and it's saved me a lot of money not having to call someone to do this for me...." Read more

55 customers mention28 positive27 negative

Customers are mixed about the stability of the gutter sense tool. Some mention that it works very safely, while others say that it gets stuck easily.

"...What's my point?I feel this was well worth the money. It's safe to use and got the job done even with heavy debris that I had to pick out...." Read more

"...The downside is the shape of the clamps makes it difficult to keep them from catching on the gutter or edge of the roof on the way out...." Read more

"...It is SAFER, keeping my loved ones on the ground. That is not to say it is a chore to use; rather, it is quite efficient for the work that it does...." Read more

"...had trouble getting it to fit within our standard sized gutters…it got stuck easily. Just not a functional tool for us, but others may have more luck." Read more

35 customers mention19 positive16 negative

Customers are mixed about the appearance of the product. Some are impressed with the design, function, and ease of use. They mention it's relatively simple, interesting, clever, and unique. Others however, say that it'd be better off buying a different product with a better design.

"...Not a pleasant noise, but it is feedback nonetheless.A unique, simple, quiet, efficient and SAFE way to clean gutters - I like it!..." Read more

"...actuation method does not work well, In My Humble Opinion it’s a Poor Design...." Read more

"...Then I stumbled across this device. I was mesmerized by the simple design...." Read more

"...It's not pretty or elegantly designed, but it works and it's kind of fun--more than I can say for earlier gutter-clearing expeditions." Read more

79 customers mention20 positive59 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the product. They mention that the rope is relatively short and needs additional length. The paddles are a little too large, making it difficult to insert and remove from gutters. Some customers also say that the product is an over-sized pair of salad tongs and feels silly to have. The string that comes with it is not long enough for an extended reach, and the grabbers are too wide and require some technique to avoid catching.

"...Though the rope was too short, I used some 60 pound fishing line to extend it to the bottom of the pole...." Read more

"...The only frustrating thing is it doesn’t snug tight enough to pole...." Read more

"...I also like the fact that the width of the tongs can be adjusted prior to getting in the gutter...." Read more

"...means that the bottom of the grabber hits the shingles and does not fit into the gutter to clean it...." Read more

60 customers mention7 positive53 negative

Customers have issues with the grip of the pole brush. They mention that it doesn't grip well enough to pull leaves out, the head keeps getting loose on the pole, and the tongs on the extension pole would not remain tightened. They also say that it's difficult to maintain enough tension on the cord, and that the pole is too long to get good gripping leverage to clean out heavy debris. Additionally, customers mention that the grip is awkward to manage holding the pole and pulling the rope tight.

"...Wet debris is heavier and harder to grab; it put a lot of strain on this device and risked breaking it at any point...." Read more

"...2. The tool needs to be tight on the pole for control, but loosens easily, so wrap a few turns of electrical tape around the joint to stop it from..." Read more

"It's difficult to use--just awkward to manage holding the pole, pulling the rope tight, lining everything up right without being able to see inside..." Read more

"...Compounded with the head simply not staying screwed onto a 3/4 threaded end of my pole where ever other attachment stays in place just fine, using..." Read more

Worked great, but broke during first use.
3 Stars
Worked great, but broke during first use.
This item was actually working great. However, the nub that keeps the tongs from rotating on the shaft broke on the first use. I live on heavily wooded property. My gutters were full with soaking wet oak and hickory leaves. The device did a great job of getting almost all of the leaves out. Takes some effort to get a working technique down, and some leaves were left behind at the support brackets. But fairly sure not enough to cause a clogging issue. I was able to clean second story gutters from the ground, but had to add some additional rope for the high gutters. I am returning the unit and have requested a replacement as this sure beats using a ladder. If it had not broken, I would have given a 5 star rating.
