Has anyone tried using this model to blow away leaves that gather in the valley's of roofs, or pile up on top of gutters?

Not a good all round product. I returned this item because it had the power of my hair dryer and battery life was low despite charging over night! If you take your hair dryer outside and place it so it blows on the area you want clean, you will see the effectiveness without making the purchase & bothersome return.

We just did today. Got all of them out and some of the leaves were wet too.

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.

Nope, I use mine for sweeping the garage floor and blowing off my sidewalks and garage approach and it works beautifully for that. I am not sure what it would do with the cleaning of rain gutters. If the leaves weren't packed down, I would think that it would work.

Don't expect a perfect fit at the grass chute. Mine fits adequately enough to pickup leaves and grass. Beats raking and blowing by a long shot.

Yes, this is a blower/vac and I use it ONLY as a vac. Not particularly an ergonomic setup however. As for gutter use, you will need to buy a special long tube attachment that's hooked at the end for access to gutters. The vac is certainly powerful enough to handle DRY leaves, but I'm sure you would encounter some resistance with wet leaves, especially if caked together with silt.

Love mine! I use it to clear the sidewalk after mowing and getting leaves off the deck. It's not great for piles of leaves though not enough power. I have the weed eater and the blower and batteries are interchangeable. For lots of leaves you need a more powerful blower.

It will not fit anything that does not have a ROUND opening where the blower attachment is attached. Look at the the pic. of all the tubing and you will see that it is all ROUND! I don't know of any blowers that now now have a round opening for the blower attachment. Plus about all this thing would do, even if it fit the blower would be to blow dry leaves out of gutter back onto roof which means the leaves would fall back into gutters. It might work with a shop vac. that you would use by attaching tubing to exhaust end and use as a blower or it may suck the leaves out as a vacuum.

Probably not great for that. Rollers keep head off of roof slightly and it is not designed for raking out leaves especially in roof valleys as the metal may damage shingles if it scrapes against adjacent roof surface.

I've only used it to clean out my pellet stove, I would use a rake or leaf blower for leaves.

No, it does not. It is designed for small jobs such as blowing leaves, acorn shells, debris from patios and decks. It works great for small jobs. We have patios and decks. We're very pleased with it for the money.

I haven't used it for that yet. But I can imagine it'll splash a little as you push out the dirt from your gutters.

Yes, it works well for leaves and clippings but it does get very heavy when the grass/leaves are wet. My husband likes it and we have a huge yard so he can do it in three passes without having to empty the bag. It is a good investment!

I have been very satisfied with the BV6000. It works well with leaves and small debris, either on grassy surfaces or sidewalks. Good luck!

Yes it does that very well. leaves and grass get pulled in very easily. you can even vacuum cut grass over gravel, the gravel is to heavy but it pulls leaves and grass up. cleaning up grass was what I used mine for the most.

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!!!!

No. Too small as compared to a leaf blower. It works fine on blowing water off a motorcycle but, any larger application would require more power.

No . . . as far as my experience with it. Works well as a blower - not so well as a vacuum. Maybe others had better luck using it as a vacuum and will respond.

I haven't tried one like that. We waited too long to get this and had to use it on 3+ feet of snow on our roof. We dragged away the snow from the top, about 9-12 inches at a time and it did the job.

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.
