Tools and Hardware Reviews of iRobot 12101 Looj Electric Gutter Cleaning Robot
Customer Review: Looj is neither robot or useful
Summary: 1 Stars
There is nothing robotic about this product... it is simply a radio controlled spinning brush. I tried it on one gutter that needed cleaning and it immediately started to flip over. I had to back it up (by remote control), change the direction of the spinning brush to put it right side up, change the direction to have it throw out the leaves and move it forward. It took about 20 minutes to go about 8 feet. I could train a squirrel to go faster. And at the end of that 20 minutes, the brush was already showing serious signs of wear. It's on its way back!Customer Review: A very unreliable product.
Summary: 1 Stars
This is really a terrible product. I have never used it that it did not malfunction. It is slow and does a lousy job when it does work. I had a wheel come off the third time I used it. I sent it back and they sent me a new one. Guess what, the third time I used the new one the same wheel came off. This is clearly a design defect. It is a good idea and it would be great if it worked, but don't waste your money on this instrument of frustration.Customer Review: Won't handle the big jobs
Summary: 1 Stars
We live in a wooded area so our eaves are full of leaves, twigs, seeds, etc. The Looj wouldn't go one foot in one of our eaves before flipping up and over. I followed all of the tips but to no avail. It may have worked okay if all it encountered were leaves -- and if I cleaned the eaves more than once or twice a year. Big disappointment and a total waste of money for me. : (Customer Review: It works pretty well
Summary: 3 Stars
The product works alright. It could use a few engineering upgrades. Maybe the more expensive models have them. It does clean out gutter as advertised. The biggest drawback is it's antenna. If your gutter is held on by the long nails at the top of the gutter, the antenna can get caught in them and sometimes the edge of the roof shingle too.Customer Review: If you have tall gutter straps
Summary: 2 Stars
It would work great if it would fit under my gutter straps. Amazon is the greatest place in the world to buy anything. They gave me a refund because I dont have at leaset 2" clearance for the looj to fit under my straps. If I had the proper clearance I would give the looj 5 stars. Go and measure before buying.
