Home Maintenance. Gutter Cleaning. I hate to clean my gutters but I know that it is a very important part of home maintenance and very important for my roof and siding. I know I could hire someone and I have before and I was either left with the Wow! that was expensive or Wow! that was cheap and never received the kind of service I thought I should have.
So a couple of times a year I drag out my ladder and do what I can. When my husband is home he does a better job because he can reach more areas.
One time I bought one of those attachments for your hose. It looks like a hook and sprays out water with a force to clean. It sort of worked I don't know, I was too wet to be very interested in using it again.
Today I found a product that just might be the solution.
iRobot Looj Gutter Cleaning Robot
For some reason I am unable to load the video from the site here - probably because it is a script function. I has worked on other sites so if you want to see it click the photo of the video and it will take you there.
Now, I wasn't born yesterday so I thought I would so some more research and found this YouTube Video - now this dude had some nasty gutters and he is in Washington State so I think his test is pretty good. I think I just might get one of these things! Just had to share!

I love that we're seeing more and more robots to do the "dirty work" that we don't want to do. That beats the heck out of using the old-fashioned pressure hose.
Jo, this fascinates me. I admit to loving to walk the isles in Home Depot and Lowes to see what's going on. Only do they have this gizmo there now?
Bryan, I hate using water - I always get too wet!!
Janice, I think it is an order from the company - I haven't seen it at Lowes or HD.
