Tools and Hardware Reviews of Weed Eater GA2010 Gutter Cleaning Blower AttachmentCustomer Review: I bought 2 so I could reach my 21' high gutters. Summary: 5 Stars
I bought my first kit and was very pleased with how fast and easy it was to clean my first story gutters. It's messy, so wear eye protection and a water-proof hooded jacket. I should also note that I attached the kit to my Troy-Bilt Backpack Blower by using this PVC Flexible Coupler 3"x3". This has worked better then expected. If you do connect the kit using the PVC coupler, make sure you DO attach the short round adapter to the elbow. This allows the vertical tube to rotate like a hand on a clock and is helpful when standing the unit up and resting it to the ground.
I bought my second kit because the first one worked so well, I figured it was worth attempting to buy a second kit so that I could reach my 21' high gutters. I was a little worried about this working because with just one kit I noticed the elbow flexing, and a small piece broke off the elbow. I can't really call this a flaw, because I am using this product in a way that it wasn't designed for. The extensions connect to each other by screwing together, except for the bottom most extension, which "clips" into the elbow, allowing the vertical tube to spin. This caused me a problem because I had to use all of the extensions to reach the gutters and I couldn't "clip" the extra extension to anything... so I duct taped it to the top, which worked.
Performance wise, using 2 kits worked, but it's much much harder then just using 1 kit. The kits bow a tremendous amount, making it very hard to direct air flow into the gutters. Here is the technique I used: Hook the nozzle onto the gutter and allow it's weight to keep it in place. Twist it back a forth to blow air down both directions and when you need to move to a new section, slide it and by using the air flow to propel it.
Warnings when using 2 kits:
1. Watch were you walk, don't stare up when balancing the kits or you will be staring in a hilarious viral video.
2. You need to be somewhat strong/coordinated to handle 2 kits and it helps to be tall.
3. Debris has farther to fall, so make sure you wear eye protection.
4. Don't be surprised if the elbow breaks, I'm planning to replace it with a PVC elbow if both break.
I am very happy with these kits. I have many trees, including several massive oaks that clog my gutters multiple times in spring and fall. I am now able to clean out 173 feet of gutters in under 30 minutes without having to get on a ladder (unless I want to verify the gutters are clean, which they always have been).
