Tools and Hardware Reviews of iRobot 12101 Looj Electric Gutter Cleaning Robot
Customer Review: Just Plain Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
Having bought several "gutter cleaning" devices and watched as all of them failed, I had very low expectations for the Looj going in. Why does something so comparatively workaday seem to be next to impossible to create a technological solution for?
The Looj design is actually quite ingenuous. The little treads allow it to keep going through un-level gutters, and the remote has excellent range. The little guy is sturdy and easy to assemble.
The bad thing is, as with all the other devices, it doesn't work. Not even close to work. If you have a few leaves in a perfectly dry gutter, yeah...if you run it back and forth it'll probably eventually get everything out.
If he runs into a big pile of leaves he seems to either flip over, stall, or just climb over the top of the leaves (which is worse because it can fall out if the pile is too high). What he won't do is his job, which is to throw those leaves out of the gutter.
Other than chucking a little sludge into my face off the nearly empty edge of the gutter, it removed almost no leaves... but unlike the garden hose gutter cleaning attachment or the leaf blower's gutter cleaning kit, at least it was easy to assemble... and disassemble... and stick back in the box... and add it to the growing pile of failures.
Description of iRobot 12101 Looj Electric Gutter Cleaning Robot
Reduce ladder work and over-reaching while cleaning your gutters. Gutters need to be cleaned regularly to avoid water damage, overspills and ice dams. Plus, dirty gutters create a breeding ground for carpenter ants, mosquitoes and other pests. Now you can avoid climbing and repositioning a ladder multiple times while juggling tools and over reaching from dangerous heights. iRobot Looj makes regular gutter cleaning faster and easier. The iRobot Looj cleans up to 80 feet of gutter in minutes, not hours,it's the easiest way to keep gutters free-flowing all year round! Gutter cleaning is a dirty, unpleasant job. You have to repeatedly climb and move ladders, and reach from dangerous heights. But no more! Now you can do it all by remote control with the amazing new Looj robot gutter cleaner from iRobot. At just 2 1/4" tall, Looj propels itself easily under gutter straps and over downspout holes. Its three-stage, high-velocity auger breaks up clogs, lifting out leaves, pine needles and other wet or dry debris while brushing gutters clean. Wireless remote control has a 75-ft. range, moves the Looj forwards and backwards, and changes the rotational direction of the auger to ensure complete debris removal. Looj attaches to an included belt clip to free up your hands and make it easier for you to climb a ladder. Uses a high power, rechargeable battery pack (included). Remote uses two AAA batteries (not included).Gutters Tools
