Anyone use the I-Robot gutter cleaner

[chucko]

I have lot of trees and leave and a two story home so gutting cleaning can be a challenge
I was looking around for easier ways to do it and came across this

iRobot: iRobot® Looj™ Gutter Cleaning Robot - the faster, easier way to clean gutters. Shop the iRobot Store for Looj Gutter Cleaning Robots.

Anyhow anyone got thoughts about it?

Hi all

Seems like it would be really useful if you had hundreds of feet of guttering in a straight line.

Well I don't have hundreds of feet but each gutter is its own run
this is the house before I moved in --->111910 house pics :: PAS_7997.jpg picture by ckevans61 - Photobucket
The lower gutter is a pain on a 16' ladder but doable
The high one I have to go around back where I can get on a low flat roof then get on the high roof. I then have to work it from the top side....Not very fun
I would love it if these things could live in the gutter with some kind of solar charging port and be programmed to run every so many days

I made up something out of 2" pvc that attaches to my leaf blower and clean mine from the ground.

now that sounds interesting. never really thought about it, but a U shape and some 2" pvc pipe. and little bit of tape. awwwwwe. i see the possibilities. even blowing out the down spots.

though wonder how well it works, when gutters are plugged and water standing in the gutters, and getting mud and like all over the place including yourself.

maybe an additional 90. so it blows air down the length of gutter. vs straight down into the gutter.
