Works like charm, saves time and money.
By Michael Busch on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2015
Works like charm in my North England gutters. I had a few choices: get a 40 ft ladder, pay somebody to clean my gutters or get the Looj. I decided to try the Looj and I am really really surprised how well this works. Our gutters get every year full of leaves and need to be removed before they decompose. I have a few gutters which are really high and not easy accessable, so this device should come in very handy. I dropped it in the gutters, turned it on and it worked like charm. It really cleaned all my gutters. All I had to do is standing there and please the button. I was really surprised. Two Cons: - battery is not lasting very long, so I had to recharge them after one side of the house was done. Took about 2-3 hours to recharge. - the communication rage is not long enough for me. Somehow it's seems being less then 50ft, which isnt enough for me. This should be way more. Something I noted will using the Looj, its hard to see within a distance. As I said I cant follow the gutters with the ladder I have only access to the gutters on one side of the house. It's hard to see 30-40ft away and its hard to determine the direction of travel, the position of the Looj (normal, on it's side, etc). This should be addressed somehow. Make it brighter, add a small antenna (with would benefit the range too), so the user can see it better. My gutters are filling up again, so I am really looking forwards of using the Looj next weekend again. :)

Not Ready for Prime Time
By DOGSBODY on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2014
I have tried two of these and found that neither one was able to deal with the real world situation of my Northeast US gutters. The first one threw a track after traveling about 50 feet down our longest gutter at precisely the highest point of my house. The robot was able to limp home minus one track and, after speaking to an iRobot rep, I had it replaced by Amazon. I tried my second one on a simple gutter job: about 15 feet of gutter. The unit continuously failed (red light) and had to be retrieved. I thought it was a defective unit but in fact the type of leaves in the gutter (matted and decomposed since we didn't have time to remove them in the Fall) led to two failure conditions: a couple of bristles bent and were wrapped around the spindle (kudos for the computer brain recognizing this) and then some leaves stuck in the tracks (again, recognized by the computer). I envision scientists testing this gizmo in lab conditions with artificial leaves but in the real world, the unit needs to stand up much better to wear and tear. I would suggest using rubber wheels rather than tracks (like an Army humvee) since tracks are notorious for being easy to throw once debris gets in the way. I would also have the nose of this unit be more like a tunnel boring machine so that it can pierce any clogs and then follow by the scrubbers (suggest metal) and finally the ejectors. In any case, for now, this just isn't ready for prime time, at least with my gutters.
