Guttermaster GM-CUR Classic Telescopic Water Fed Pole With Curved End, Connects to Most Garden Hoses, No Special Attachments Needed, Extends 12 Feet

Used this to clean the rain gutters on our two story house with gutters at three different levels, one gutter unreachable by a ladder because one end is over a stairwell to the basement. With the extension, I was able to clean all of the gutters.First time I turned on the valve, I felt the weight increase when the water filled the tube. The aluminum tube is light but when filled it is somewhat heavy. With the valve turned on, the pressure certainly has a strong but controllable opposite reaction to the direction of the spray, so one has to stay ready to control it, especially when fully extended.I read the reviews about low pressure and others saying that low pressure from this device means the house needs higher pressure; I agree that the house pressure must be enough to do the job. Our house has a well pump that the plumber set at 75 pounds years ago and the spray from the nozzle is very strong. I cleared out the clogged drain spout first, then worked backwards in sections to the other end of the gutter using the nozzle head to scoop and blast debris either out of the gutter or down the gutter to the drain spout. It takes a little while, but this technique works.I think this product is well built and does the job well. If your water pressure is sufficient, give this a try. It beats paying for gutter cleaning and you can do it when you want it done, not when the gutter cleaning people can schedule a visit that may not be convenient for you.

This wand works well on my gutters, going up to 17 feet. But am disappointed that all the rings that tighten the pole and secure the ends are really, really cheap. If you treat it gently and use it infrequently, it should last a few years. It does clean your gutters, and that's all I wanted. But for what it is, this item should sell for no more than $25 even with inflation.

I used this gutter cleaner and I was amazed how well it worked. I absolutely hate cleaning gutters , standing on ladders, etc. This gutter cleaner performed well. I was amazed how well constructed it is. Definitely has made my job much easier. The only concern I have is that when the pole is extended to maximum length you will need both hands to hold. There is a high pressure stream leaving the end of the pole. It had a tendency to push back, but after a while I got use too it and it cleaned the gutters great. I would recommend this product. I was able to clean gutters standing on a 6' step ladder instead of using a 20' extension ladder a using a garden hose.Howard

I just received this today and tried it out on a gutter with a few leaves in it. It worked just as I hoped. It allowed me to push all the leaves down the gutter toward the downspout, without having to climb up on a ladder. The leaves piled up at the drain for the downspout, where I did climb up and removed the leaves by hand. I think it's better to have the leaves pile up at the end, rather than to go down the downspout and potentially clog up the downspout or my underground French drain to the street. Although I still had to climb up at one end of the gutter to remove the leaves by hand, this tool allows me to avoid climbing up a ladder multiple times to remove the leaves section by section.Although I tried it out on my lower roof gutter, I also have a second story with its own gutter. By extending the tool to its maximum length, I can easily reach up to the upper roof gutter without having to use a ladder (except at the end to remove the accumulated pile of leaves).Overall, this tool worked exactly as I hoped. It seems sturdy and I hope to get many seasons of use out of it.

The product was well made and worked to clear my gutters. It easy to use and provided a powerful jet of water to specific areas. The full extension allowed me to spray water into gutters a full two stories from ground level while only climbing up a few steps on my ladder. My complaint, as indicated in a number of reviews was the absence of a good, thick washer in the house connection. I was drenched with water when I turned on the hose. I had a spare washer fortunately but that hose washer (a penny item) should come with the product. I eventually took the washer from the valve and and that solved my problem but this missing washer, as indicated by the number of comments, is a significant product defect.

I would upgrade the rating if the nozzle angle adjusted. As it is, you have to be at a 45 degree angle from the gutter for the nozzle to point straight down. It’s also a little heavy when filled with water and fully extended - it takes a lot of leverage to hold on to. Finally, be aware that there is a jet effect when the water pressure is high enough - it will want to shoot away from you making it even harder to control. The good: it’s very sturdy and doesn’t leak much. It is great for washing leaves along the gutter to a certain place. It will NOT unplug a downspout nor blast leaves out of the gutter. I attached a plastic stick to the nozzle at 180 degrees and was able to use that stick to gently poke at my downspouts and unplug them. It does extend 12’ but it will take a ladder to get up to the 2nd story of a house.
