Tools and Hardware Reviews of Weed Eater GA2010 Gutter Cleaning Blower Attachment
Customer Review: Works great on 2-story gutters
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading the other reviews, I bought 2 kits to do gutters on our 2-story house..worked great. I used an electric Toro blower, and instead of using the attachment kit, I stuck the Toro vertically in the connector tube. This allowed much better control of the span, and also increased airflow since no bends. I still can't believe how easily and quickly this cleaned all of our gutters.
A few tips. First, make sure you connect all the tubes tightly. Start by hand, then hold the lower section between your legs and tighten the next section by hand. You'll see you get it quite a bit tighter by doing this. Second, no matter what, you'll get some bowing with this many attachments connected. However, the thrust of the blower straightens it out very well....after a few minutes, you'll master control of the span.
Customer Review: Weed Eater gutter cleaning blower attachment
Summary: 3 Stars
I had been cleaning my gutters by climbing onto my roof with my electric leaf blower. That worked well and quickly, but it was dangerous, especially at my age (70). The Weed Eater gutter cleaning attachment with Weed Eater electric blower is much safer, since I can do the job from the ground. However, it is a bit cumbersome to use, and it's impossible to see into the gutters from the ground, so it's difficult to know when the job is completely done. Also, the debris fell down on top of me. That was not a problem, since the gutters were dry when I tried the attachment for the first time. It will be another matter when the gutters are wet.
All in all, I'm glad I bought the product, despite the shortcomings. It's better than falling off the roof and breaking bones, or worse.
Customer Review: Do not buy it
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this product a week ago with the hope it would work as it was shown in its ad, but it did not. First of all it is very hard to hook it up with any kind/make of blower. I had a gas blower and an electric blower. It did not fit with any one of those. Then I bought a third one from Lowe's and somehow connected with it but it did not do the job. My experience is that the blower does not handle the weight of pipes when air is blowing thru it. It simply knocks the pipes down from elbow. I tried my best to make it work but it did not.
I would say its not worth spending money on it. If any one gives me suggestion how it works, I would appreciate it. I have one TORO and one Black & Decker electric blower and one gas blower.
Customer Review: My Husband Loves It!
Summary: 4 Stars
My dad mentioned that there was an apparatus for a leaf blower to clean gutters. We went on a search to the "box stores" (Home Depot, Menard, etc.) to find this item, but we were told they did not carry this. So, I searched online and found it on Amazon.com. My husband loves it! He attached it to our Weed Eater Barracuda leaf blower and now he can easily clean the gutters (on our single-story ranch style house) standing on the ground rather than balancing precariously on a ladder. This item saves time and is much safer! We have a lot of leaves, seeds, etc in our gutters (5 mature trees on less than a 1/4 acre lot). So, we are very happy that this item was available and works so well.Customer Review: Works Just Great!

I bought this gutter cleaning item several years ago and it was a lifesaver in our situation. Copper gutters on a lake house w/ LOTS trees - not an easy solution to keep gutters from clogging up but this item saved us a ton of money had we had to call in the professionals to clean our gutters multiple times per fall. We attached it to a small, 2 speed electric blower (round opening is a must.) If you have to get out a ladder to reach upper level gutters (which we don't)at least it is light weight and not too unwieldy. I am buying one today for our son. Make sure you check out the shape of opening on your blower.
