Does this really work on its own and clean the gutters enough to not need someone go on the roof? Or does something like vertalok work better?

The Weed Eater gutter kit works great when connected to a gas blower like a Poulan, Weedeater,and some others. Right now I'm using it with a Stihl BG55, and I think it's much better than the Stihl gutter kit. I've connected two sets to reach really high gutters that are about 25 feet high and it works great to blow out leaves, sticks, and dirt. It's so easy and so much better than anything else I've seen. I also help out many friends and family and save them the hassle of climbing a ladder or hiring someone.

Yes, this kit works well provided gutters are not packed with dirt and clutter from prior year. (I personally hand cleaned gutters first time due to excessive packing of years of buildup and thereafter every week with gutter kit).The only complaint I have is the manifold (elbow) that inserts into leaf blower (Poulan/Weed Eater brand only) will pop out if not completely inserted into outlet and clamped tightly and even then can work loose if too much pressure is applied to tube extension.Definitely saves hours of time over climbing a ladder every week!

We have had great success with this. My grandsons enjoy walking around the perimeter of the house and cleaning out the gutters. Know that we had gutter screens put over our gutters to keep larger things out, but with the screens and this tool, we are able to keep our gutters clear without someone being on the roof. Hope it helps.

Yes, it does a great job of cleaning them. You shouldn't need to climb on the roof for anything.

Yes, it works quite well for leaves and such. The real test will come next spring, for maple tree seeds, but I expect that to be fine, too. I use it with a Weed Eater WEB160 blower. Get a good grip on the tube before you turn the blower on...it's fairly powerful.

This does work well, even if you have a toro blower like mine that I've retrofitted a bit. Gotta wear a hat, though, because you end up wearing the junk in the gutter! Not for 2-story roofs like what I have now :(

Its very sticky which is perfect for birds...They won't land on the stuff.....You would need to put it where it wouldn't block or obstruct the water from entering your gutters ...Be careful not to get any on your hands...Hard to get off, but works great!

Yes, Flo-Free works well with hanging gutters. If I am understanding you correctly, you mean gutters that attach to the roof and hang down with a strap and bracket.With these gutter strap and brackets you usually need to make 2 - "T" cuts during installation. The 1st one is where the bracket is and the 2nd one is 1-2" further to fit around the hanging strap.The rest of the Flo-Free installation is the same. Thanks for the interest and have a great day.Niezle

I do not have mine attached to a gutter - I fill it manually at the beginning of the growing season and let "rain" do the rest of the work. I have it on the deck on top of some milk crates. This has worked well for me. Good Luck!

If you're referring to the brackets that attach your gutter to your roof you can simply slide your gutterstuff under the brackets. It takes a little work if the gutterstuff is going across multiple brackets but its not that hard.

if you have the black stains or streaks on your roof this product will not work, you need to call a non pressure roof cleaner, and cleaning a roof can be done above 40 degrees if your using the right product , straight chlorine works the best if you have a way to apply it and don't rinse

It will work for cleaning gutters. But if the ground is level a step ladder would be my choice.

If it is placed on the proper rungs, it will bridge the gap for gutter maintenance. Not exactly sure what you mean by "On the roof"?

The EcoSmart lawn granules do a pretty good job for us in the suburbs of New York, even after rainfall or using our sprinkler system. We used to pay a lot of money for an exterminator who used basically the same product, so I started doing it myself and the number of insects that make it inside the house continues to be pretty low. I hope this is helpful.

I tried it again 3 days ago and it didn't do a good job! I threw about six up on my roof and a lot of snow is still there! I would not recommend this item! You have better luck using a roof rake.

I have used it to blow the gutters clean.The nose fits inside the gutter and worked well blowing the leaves out of it. Our gutters are not level it also blew the water toward a downspout. It was nice not having a cord to get caught under shingles etc. I'm 59, I have to remind myself not to go to fast and run (fall) off of the roof.

Works best on fresh snow. Layers are just harder to get thru. The key is also to have the roof at the right level and angle. We have 1 section of the house it works great on but the other roof angles not so well.

It does get the stuff out of the gutters. I found that it did blow it over the edge or up onto the roof, but that was a relatively easy clean up for me

One good thing is that it's light in weight. Will blow dry leaves out of gutter easily; don't know about wet ones or muddy debris. However one would have to be right up there on the roof top to do it. I have 2 story home & learned from yrs of being on the ladder that those gutters with covers are worth the having. Be careful on the roof if it's wet!!!!

This is a FANTASTIC cleaner and it may work on your house - but have you ever tried "Wet and Forget?" That product is FANTASTIC for mold!!! In fact, since mold is your main issue, that's exactly what this product is designed for! We used to have problems with mold on our roof and we were STUNNED to see how well this product worked. And it's absolutely EFFORTLESS! I hope you try it out as I think that will be your answer! You can read about this product on the internet - just google "Wet and Forget." I KNOW you'll be satisfied!!!

If you are cleaning the underside of the roof, yes it is strong enough to clean. Hope this helps? For its size and cost, this is a great pressure washer.

I have had great results on copper ornnaments but I have not used it on a roof,maybe you can try it on a small section.
