Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gutter Stuff Foam Filter, 5" x 4'Customer Review: Time Will Tell Summary: 4 Stars
Just purchased a similar product from Costco (Rain Filter) to replace vinyl and mesh gutter screens I purchased at Home Deport, so "time will tell" if these are better. The old style screen was more involved to install (especially over the gutter nails); they collected leaves and allowed leave and shingle granules to drop into the gutter; and, they would not stay in the curved position that is suppose to allow the leaf to blow off. With the old screens, I had to clean the guards and gutter at least twice per year.
I rated the product based on the ease of installation and appearance . . . or the lack thereof. It is not visible from the ground!!! Another reviewer said that small material clogs the mesh over time . . . a year he said. I assumed that very small particles would pass through the guard and over time clog the filter. Well, guess what. That happens with pretty much every gutter guard over time. The fact is, you have to get up on a ladder and clean the guard and/or the gutter. And if you are thinking about spending thousands for the fancy, contractor installed gutter guards, think again. You are better off paying someone to clean your gutter 3 times a year for $80.00 to $100.00. Over 10 years it will still be cheaper than paying for the expensive contractor installed guards. Even the expensive guards must have an opening for water to run into the gutter. And, where there is an opening, eventually something other than water will get through it or stuck in it and have to be cleaned out of the guard and/or gutter.
When I get too old to climb the ladder, my next option is MasterShield, assuming the cost is reasonable, or pay someone to clean the darned things.
