- Reviewed in Canada on May 17, 2023If you live in a 1 story house on a treed lot and are deathly terrified of climbing on and off of your roof or live alone and don't have anybody to spot you on an extension ladder this is definitely a purchase worth considering.
Know that doing it this way is somewhat more laborious than just climbing up onto the roof and scooping out the eaves troughs since it doesn't give you pressure-washer levels of water flow obviously since it's just a garden hose attachment but with a little persistence I was able to get all of the spruce needles and leaves out of my eavestroughs in a reasonable period of time. It definitely takes some elbow grease, aiming the wand back and forth and moving it along the trough with your arm at full extension (plus you'll still want to detach your downspouts since otherwise they'll just clog at the first elbow while doing this). It's very light weight and feels sturdy enough for how light weight it is but it's not something that I would go tossing around carelessly since there's a lot of plastic fittings on it. In a productive afternoon I was able to clear the troughs and downspouts on my small bungalow without ever having to climb higher than the third step on a step-ladder (in order to take off the downspouts)
*If you live in a 2 story house or have a particularly high roof then I don't know that this product is ideal. But for my situation it was the perfect tool for the job.
*It uses a plastic ball valve to control the water flow and I'm unsure of how durable that will be in the long term so I would definitely recommend pairing it with a garden hose that has a valve on the hose-end.
*Expect some of the water to splash over the edge of your eaves so you will get wet using it.
