Robot Tries To Clean Gutters!

The most recent issue of Consumer Reports had a small article titled, "Can a Robot Clean your Gutters?

Consumer report bought the device at a price of $170 and tested it. The device is battery powered and remote controlled for distances up to 75 feet. It has rubber tracks instead of wheels with spinning flappers on the front end to whip the debris out of the gutter as it crawls along the gutter. It can not maneuver corners.

They found that in many situations its simply faster to clean by hand rather than to use the robot. The also found that it occasionally sticks and has to be rescued and that "This robot is not so hot. It flipped many leaves back into the gutter or toward the roof instead of the yard."

We can't really call this device competition for the Waterloov Gutter Cover System since it's clearly for the homeowner who really wants to continue efforting at cleaning gutters and maybe have a little frustrating fun.

This just goes to show you how much of a problem clogged gutters are for homeowners who have to deal with them. Homeowners seem to be willing to try anything to help make gutter cleaning as effortless as possible.

Just like with trying to loose weight, quick fixes don't always work as advertised. A real solution to the problem can usually be found by using a proven professional approach thay may cost a little more but will give you the results you're looking for.
