Gutter cleaner
Works as promised! Would be helpful if it extended a foot or two more.Used it on screened gutter covers with no problem.

    Does the job
    Used this on my gutters (that have screens over them) and it worked fine (getting out the year's accumulation of debris from the roof, trees, etc.) Yes it is a little hard to hold above your head--it's powerful and you might be sore the next day. And yes, you will get a little wet from the spray back and a lot wet if you don't have the extension "nut" securely tightened. I think it does an adequate job and sure saves having to climb up on a ladder, climb down, move ladder, climb up, climb down, move ladder........ Just wish it had been available in stores instead of having to order it online and wait for it.

    Okay
    It has good pressure and is easy to operate. It doesn't do the best job of pushing the leaves out of the gutter, but it did move them away from the drain pipe allowing the water to move down it instead of flowing over. I wouldn't say it did it's job, but it was sufficient for a quick fix in a place that I can't really reach. The pressure isn't really high enough to use as a washer, but I did clear cobwebs away from windows with it.

    INFERIOR PRODUCT
    The gutter cleaner was definitely poorly constructed. When we connected it to the hose and turned on the water, we were sprayed from the cracks in the handle. We were unable to use the product.

    Gutter Blaster by Ray Padula
    This device was great. The pressure it puts out helped me clean out my gutters without having to use a ladder. The only issue I have, that I didn't think about when I ordered it, is that it only extends to 60 inches. I am 6'1" and have a one story home. I was able to hold it up into the gutter to clean it out. I have written the company to see if the have a 3 or 4 foot extension.

    Just what I needed
    I was looking to replace a similar item which I use to clean out my gutters. This was quite an improvement. The quality was goof for the price and the thumb control made it easy to control the stream without having to lower the item from the gutters.

    Know what you are getting
    If you have a bunch of leaves it will not spray them out. It seems as though it only works to maintain gutters, not to clean out a bunch of leaves. So, be sure you know what to expect.

      Quite Effective
      Quality built and effective for it's purpose. Did have a jet effect though and sometimes at maximum extension, it would like to get away from you. Wear something that can get wet. Good Quality product.

      Not powerful enough to clear out dirt layer.
      What I liked about this product was that it works with both a power washer and a garden hose. Unfortunately, the hose option only works if you have a moderate amount leaves or light weight debris in your gutters. It was not able to remove any sort of impacted dirt from roof runoff. Also, you may consider purchasing a brand new hose if your attachment nozzle and spigots are not in perfect condition. A few dents in the nozzle caused me to get drenched from water spraying out of the bottom when the water was turned on. All in all, it was not a purchase that I would make twice.

      The product worked as described.
      The product worked as described and permitted gutter flush out without the use of a ladder. Two suggestions: The extensions could have been a foot longer. Fully extended it was still a stretch to reach the gutters. As a result, the movable nozzle would change positions bumping against the gutter rim. A way to lock it in position would have been helpful.

      product worked just great first time out of box
      I don't have too much water pressure on second floor, so I enhanced the item with a shot of air from my air compressor!! had to buy extra fittings but made it work!
