GutterBrush Gutter Guard 3-Size Sample Pack – 6 Inch Lengths - DIY Leaf Filter, No Tools Needed - 3.25", 4.25", 5.25" Diameters for Residential Gutters

Only one corner of my house has a tree hanging over it, and as such, that's where my guttering gets all the leaves. I really only needed protection in that one corner so I spoke to my local gutter guard salesman and he wasn't interested in doing a partial installation, and even if I cut the full installation price in half, wow! I remembered hearing a home improvement radio show called At Home with Gary Sullivan and he was always touting a product called the GutterBrush, so I gave it a shot. It works great, especially for the money, and was easy to install. My neighbors thought it was pretty cool and I feel certain they'll be being this as well.

This product is perfect. Ordered 60' and used 57' on three sections of Gutter. The 5" design fits perfectly in the channel. I can't wait for it to rain -- for the ultimate test.

I did a lot of research on different gutter cleaning/guard systems and came to the conclusion no system is 100% effective. I decided on GutterBrush due to the combination of cost and ease of installation/removal.I live in Upstate New York and decided to try a test run on my garage in the fall of 2012 to see how the system would work in all seasons. The garage is surrounded by a large maple (it actually hangs over my garage) and there are also a large number of maple, spruce and willow trees nearby. Installing the GutterBrush was a breeze -- took under 30 minutes to do 40 lineal feet (all straight) on two sides of the garage. The only problem I can see is if you have to cut the GutterBrush to make it fit as the metal is pretty thick; fortunately I did not have to do this but you would probably need to use a hacksaw or a real good pair of metal shears. The brushes do bend so making a corner should not be a problem. Plus you do get different size brushes so mixing and matching is possible.In terms of doing its job the GutterBrush has performed quite well through a somewhat mild winter and a very wet spring. The water flows quite easily and I have not had any issues with my gutters overflowing in any season. Yes you will get some odd leaves that get stuck in the brushes but they do eventually either fall off or decompose; I suppose it is a matter of personal preference in what you look at as I know others have complained about this. You can also see a bit of the GutterBrush sticking above the gutter but to me it does not look that bad. I also plan on removing the GutterBrush once every year or two to really clean the gutters well but this should be quite easy due to the design, something that makes this system more appealing than others on the market.Since no system is 100% that is why I gave this only 4 stars but I am quite pleased and since my test case went so well my plan is to do the rest of the house later this year with GutterBrush.

My screened-in patio has a very narrow rain gutter on one side. A nearby ash tree fills up the gutter with leaves and seeds, especially in the fall, requiring me to regularly clean out clogs. I looked at various gutter guard options, but the DIY options at the hardware store were too large and inflexible and having a company install guards would be expensive. After doing some research, I decided to try these. There was a glitch in my order, and originally I only got one of two boxes, but the company responded quickly and I soon received the rest of my order. The brushes are easy to install. I had already installed the first box and when I went to install the second order, I checked the original brushes and there were no leaves or debris underneath, so they appear to be working well so far.

Our house is in a pine forest. If I didn't clean the gutters at least once a month, they were rendered useless by all the pine needles and pine cones. From the research I did, it sounded like no gutter system could cope with pine needles, and once it clogged, it was very hard to clean them. I read the reviews on the gutter brush, and I honestly didn't have high hopes. I bought enough to do the gutters that were the worst, and tested it out for a year. Wow! The whole time, the gutters kept flowing! Yes, pine needles get stuck in the gutter brush and form a layer on top of it that doesn't look very nice, but the water can still flow freely in the gutters and I no longer have issues with water damage from overflowing gutters. Instalation is super easy. Once you've cleaned the gutters, you can easily do a whole house in under 2 hours. If you need to pull them out to clean them, that's easy too. Just pull them out, shake them, and put them back in. It's not something I'd do too frequently though, because the bristles that are compressed by the gutter supports stay permanently bent after being that way for a year. All in all, these have worked great for me, and far surpassed my expectations! For reference, after my year long experiment, I ordered gutter brushes for the rest of the house. While the gutters that had the gutter brush were still flowing freely a year later, I removed 8 5-gallon buckets of pine needles and pine cones out of the gutters that did not have the gutter brush!!! Some people won't like the fact that you can see the top of the bristles and debris that gets trapped on top of them, but I don't care as long as the gutters keep working. In any case, it's still a lot easier to put a brush on an extension pole and brush the debris off while still standing on the ground if it bothers you that much. Overall, I'd highly recommend this product to anyone who is more concerned with function over looks.

Items were easy to install and blocks the leaves from clogging my downspout.Had a small issue with the order but they handled it quickly.would recommend this product and company.
